F5 Distributed Cloud Authentication Intelligence vs. SecurID

I think if the analytics was more developed this would be an even better product and a 10/10. There should be more transparency with the results with backing of Data

Works well in a large organization with many employees and devices but may not work so well in smaller organizations due to alternatives that are cheaper and are already provided (such as Microsoft's Azure MFA). Using the soft token is easy and convenient. For a large environment, It has allowed us to have a single app used for authentication for all of our various users, and using the soft token is easy and convenient.

• Uses a cookie which helps with analytics tracking
• Partnership with Chase is really strong
• Looks to connect the 2 organizations (Southwest and Chase)

• RSA SecurID allows me to access network files from remote locations (hotels, other businesses, working from home). This allows me greater productivity and helps me with a work-life balance as I can work later at night or not get so backed up when I'm traveling.
• RSA SecurID keeps information secure by limiting access to network files
• RSA SecurID is easy to use with a soft token - one less item to carry around in my travel bag

• Analytics is a HUGE place for improvement. We had to set up the analytics on our end via tagging with the cookie that gets put into the file. We also don't really have many updates with DETAIL on the analytics that f5 provides us

• The Android application cannot be easily returned to the original code (if you chose to move to the next code).
• If misconfigured, it can lock an administrator out of a server.
• The look and feel of the RSA control center status bar application have a dated feel.

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.

RSA SecureID is still widely deployed and the de facto industry standard for 2nd factor authentication. Microsoft Azure offers alternative 2nd factor auth but the price was too high. We are still testing Citrix NetScaler offering with CloudBridge for 2nd factor auth and SMS code to user mobile device so it is yet to be seen as a viable alternative to RSA.

• Higher Chase Credit card application rate

• We are pleased with our implementation of RSA Authentication Manager. The deployment process went smooth without many issues.
• Administration and troubleshooting are very easy using the GUI console.
• There is enough good quality documentation, training, and online forums are available for our team to refer to in case of any technical issues.
