Bitium vs. Passly by ID Agent

Best suited for companies that use the same services across multiple teams, services that might require support at one point. For us, it is very easy to share access to either the IT support team or to me, as the Salesforce administrator, and we can easily take care of the issue and then log out without any hassle.

I would not strongly recommend it for single users, who don't need to share access to others.

If you have a skilled IT support team (whether in-house or outsourced) that is familiar with Kaseya's applications and has a good relationship with the vendor, it may be a good fit. It "checks the box" for 2FA, but there are much simpler solutions out there today that can get the same job done with less complexity and, in many cases, at a lower cost.

• Sharing access. It's as easy as 1-2-3 with Bitium, no more hassle with sharing the actual password and then changing it, violating company policies, etc.
• Lots of apps supported. In all three years since we are using Bitium, we haven't encountered any app that would not be supported by it.
• Easy to set up strong passwords. Another very easy and intuitive feature: when you are setting up an app, you can ask Bitium to generate an A-level password automatically, that you can therefore use with ease.

• AuthAnvil is simple to use. Whether using an OTP code or push notifications, the application is user-friendly.
• AuthAnvil applications are easy for the end-user to install.
• AuthAnvil is readily available across multiple platforms (Windows, Android, iOS).

Incentivized

• Apps crashing. From time to time, some apps stop working in Bitium and they come back only after a while (1, 2, 8 hrs). We don't have a clear explanation for this yet.
• Very tied to Chrome. Bitium is almost 'married' to Chrome, making it unusable in other browsers, which is sometimes problematic.
• Sometimes slow Chrome Add-on. From time to time, the add-on seems so unresponsive that it is easier to go to the web dashboard and log in from there in the app you were looking for.

Incentivized

• Does not offer faster login for trusted devices.
• App requires multiple clicks to get to security code.
• App is slow to load.
• App was difficult to install and pair and confirm as a trusted device. That process took over 30 minutes.

Simplicity of use combined with price and low system resources.

They are very helpful with helping us with any issues. There are a lot of helpful guides online if you get lost. Kaseya is also good about not bugging you with notifications. Kaseya offers easy to access to support options. Overall I have not had to contact them over a lot of issues. The software rarely broke or was down for maintenance.

I selected Passly at first as it would allow for a single sign on with azure to Kaseya VSA. Kaseya has made access to different products very different. VSA does not have single sign on with Azure where as Vorex/BMS does. This is a feature that Kaseya should make unified accross all applications.

• Everyone is now required to have A-level passwords, so the overall level of security has increased a lot.
• Having a secured way of sharing access to different apps, users are now very open to being helped more hands-on by the support teams, not fearing that their credentials might be exposed or later used.

Incentivized

• Kaseya has allowed us to be more secure.
• It's allowed us to link multiple 2FA devices to one account.
• It's provided us with basic logging.
