RSA Authentication Manager Reviews

• Authentication Manager as hardware hardened appliance
• Secure creation of the token/FOB in RSA's secure manufacturing unit
• Securing the hardware/Software FOB
• Secure transportation of FOBs & Token Seeds.

It has increased the level authentication.

The price needs to be improved.

I've used it for two years -

RSA Authentication Manager & SecurID

RSA Authentication Manager Appliance is almost like Plug 'n' Play. So it's an excellent experience.

Not even with the software deployment. I found it a robust server.

No concerns from the product on the scalability.

RSA's customer service is very good.

RSA's technical support is very good.

In some cases other solution where the cost is a driving factor.

It's straightforward. Appliance is almost like plug & Play.

We did self implementation.

Security is always like insurance. It ensures against future threats, so it's tough to estimate the ROI, until unless some one broke the system without two-factor authentication in the past.

Yes. There are other products, but can not provide as per NDA.

If cost is not a big concern, go ahead.

We primarily use this for token identification. 

I think this solution could be more user-friendly. 

It is stable. 

It is scalable. We have about 100K users. 

We found technical support was not very responsive to our requests for assistance. 

The setup was complex, and there were complex folders that were not easy to install. We used a consultant to help us implement the solution. 

We use this solution for authentication needs.

The advantage to this solution is the two-factor authentication. It is a very trusted part of the solution. It provides benefits usch as secure application access in terms of remote VPN, application security, and WiFi security.

The most valuable feature is the provision part. The mapping and the logging is also very good. In addition, the troubleshooting (from a console point of view) is easy for administration and on the provisioning and logging part.

We have users throughout the world, and this current solution is causing us a lot of manual effort, and lots of back-end inventory management. We want to avoid all of these things. So, that is the overall learning solution we are looking for. In addition, the features of RSA are lagging. In terms of the cloud, and of appliation, they are providing application security on-boarding with the two-factor authentication for RSA. We are seeing a lot of difficult issues in terms of RSA, especially the cloud-based two-factor authentication process. We find issues with the application of the Android, i-Pad or other Apple products two-factor authentication solutions. There are significant issues with MobilePASS authentication.

We have encountered issue when trying to expand this particular solution for a large set of users across the country.

Easy setup, deployment, and integration in different infrastructures, including virtual ones.

2FA with hardware tokens for VMware VDIs.

Perhaps parts of the the user interface should become more intuitive.

About a year.

No.

No.

I haven't used another solution previously and I am not familiar with another vendor for 2FA.

Yes, it was quiet straightforward after carefully reading and following the setup manual and documentation.

 I have no idea, I wasn't responsible for licensing.

No, we decided to use RSA because of the easy integration with VMware infra.

I would recommend it, very good product for implementing 2FA.
