    Chose SecurID
    RSA SecurID and Azure Multi-Factor Authentication both integrate with authentication on multiple operating systems and SaaS providers. RSA SecurID seems to integrate (at least while I have used it), with more software solutions than Azure Multi-Factor Authentication though.

    Chose SecurID
    SecurID works with more software/devices than Azure MFA. It also seems to work more smoothly for end-users compared to some of the other options out there. We have not had issues with this app not working and is very reliable/stable. It also allows token codes to be …

    It helps to store our data online and also they provide security to our data. We can access our data anytime and anywhere. The Initial setup was heavy it could have been much better. To overcome this they do provide good customer support where we can call them to clear our concerns. It is not suitable for small business people where the cost is high inside many can't afford their plans.

    If your solution falls within their standard use case or you have Office 365 - then it makes total sense. If you need a lot of customization or have a really specific business process that causes you to deviate from the standard flow it usually makes more sense to create a custom solution

    Easy to implement and support. Flexible platforms and user-friendly interface. Not a lot of customization is available to customers and response time of support could be better. There are now competing products that utilize new features like facial recognition. Using camera and fingerprint sensors are becoming standard in smartphones so RSA SecureID should offer those as options.

    • Slow to provide updates to latest operating system versions.
    • While the GUI is clean and easy to use, it does look very dated.
    • There is not an option for a temporary code to log in. It would be nice for situations where you are at a remote site but don't have your device (laptop, phone, etc.) with you, as well as other situations.

    Long story short, does the job. Can use company credentials to setup and access the account for SecurID. Easy to setup and implement. Doesn't have a high learning curve.

    Using it very frequently, it's important that its straight forward and I do not have to go through unnecessary hoops to achieve something seemingly simple. Can setup using the company credentials and do not have to setup up a separate account. Setup was fast and easy. GUI is very straight forward and quick.

    Their support for onboarding and set-up is quite good. The only issues we tend to have are obtaining new user devices. These need to be planned ahead of time.

    We are using Janrain to protect our data from internet attacks and they also have good customer support to cover critical instances. Customer data can be accessed easily. They also have an MFA facility to stop unauthorized persons [from] accessing the data. They also provide a 30-day basic plan to experience their facility which can be useful to know the features and facility of that product.

    Honestly, they are very similar as is much of their offerings. It really comes down to which ecosystem are you already invested in? It doesn't make a lot of sense to try and interop with every cloud vendor - pick one and use them. While there used to be substantial differences in the cloud platforms, they are at basic parity now

    Overall MS AAD is good but we have had a few too many reliability issues with the product that have lead to enterprise authentication outages over the last year. The Senior executives have a preference on Securid to be more reliable than MS AAD. SecurID does a better job in Integration for legacy on-premise applications for instance.

    • Implementing RSA SecurID has allowed us to help our clients understand we are committed to compliance.
    • Implementing RSA SedcurID has, however, negatively impacted employee productivity. Employees need to be aware of the additional steps they need to take to authenticate to a protected system.
    • RSA SecurID has helped us with our compliance audits.
