Akamai Identity Cloud vs. IBM Verify

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.

Effectiveness of the product in privileged access management and real-time activity monitoring. IBM Verify is very affordable and supports single sign-on in the cloud. It has a steep learning curve.

• MFA authentication - you can verify the users using the mobile app.
• Password repository - We don't have to remember passwords for each app; we only need one for IBM security, which then authenticates us and lets us access the app.
• Sharing access to new users, we just create a new user in IBM and it authenticates and takes care of the user.

• It was a bit overwhelming to implement and was neither obvious nor user-friendly.

While setup and implementation takes work and time, the flexibility and possibilities make up for that in the long run. This is not a product you can just install and run, but if you design and implement your ruleset well, it will save you a lot of work afterwards. Just make sure that the systems you want to use it for have an existing and proven connector.

It has never let us down since its inception and installation. User credentials and secure access have always been guaranteed. Ironclad security (through single sign-on, MFA, etc.) has ensured that our user credential details are safe as is our information/data. The correct access is given to users, based on role-based access with segregation of duty and the principle of least privilege being deployed. The IBM support has also been first class and they have proactively resolved any minor issues we have encountered.

The support team has always been the primary consultation base when we are faced by performance problems.

The IBM Security Verify Support team has been the main player in the successful performance of this software.
