    Google
    For example, if the system you are building is a general application service that does not primarily focus on ID management, it would be wise to use a service like Google's rather than developing your own IDaaS. While there may be cases where an IDaaS other than Google's is acceptable, Google is likely one of the best solutions when considering user recognition and ease of use. On the other hand, Gmail addresses are commonly used for other purposes, and users may not pay much attention to password management, so you should avoid using them for systems that require security. To strengthen security, you should consider making multi-factor authentication mandatory, etc.

    Matrix42
    Matrix42 is best suited for the environment where we need to manage the both, mobile devices and endpoints like laptops and desktops. This solution have the best compatibility with every type of endpoints and the functionalities and features are incredible. The dashboard gives the overall visibility and details needed for a endpoint. We can see what applications are running as well as services which are running. It supports multi OS. It is not well suited for environment where only laptop and desktop needs to be managed as we can have other solution in less price. For just managing the workstations like laptops it may be not the best tool as the functionalities will be limited as compared to other vendors in this price.

    Cons
    Google
    • This time, I investigated it in advance, and it worked as expected, so I don't have any specific ideas for improvement.
    • Additionally, if we were using another IDAAS, it would have been beneficial to have knowledge on how to integrate it with Google tools, along with some relevant case studies.

    • The deployment and implementation process took very long as we encountered some bugs in the OS and every time installation got failed due that. It took so long to understand that which delayed the process so we moved to n-2 version. Hence, in new OS bug should be removed for smooth configuration and installation.
    • The reporting part need to be improved as it is very basic and do not carry much information which is needed for auditing purpose. It should be made customizable and more type of reporting format should be introduced. So this the area of improvement.
    • Third Party integration is not possible. This feature is lacking. For proper visibility and control management it should have functionality of third party integration so that we can take control action for non complaint system.

    Google
    I chose Google because I thought it would be the best fit, but I didn't fully consider other cloud platforms (Azure, AWS, etc.), so I rated it 8. We assume that current Japanese users are familiar with Google, because we feel that there are far more people with Google email addresses than those with IDs on other cloud services.

    We adopted Google Cloud Identity as an additional feature because it allowed us to integrate with it using multi-factor authentication. The IBM Cloud platform remains valid, and we have no plans to discontinue its use for identity management. From the user's perspective, we simply added more authentication options. This also ensures we are prepared for future use when multi-factor authentication becomes available for user apps on the IBM Cloud.

    Matrix42 Unified endpoint management supports different type of endpoints as well as multi OS is also supported which make it different from other vendors. The product got some good features which is needed for organization and during the demo it met our requirement and it was in our budget if we compare to other vendors. The solution delivers what it promises and hence proven to very useful for organization. Microsoft and Citrix TAC was also not good and supportive as we faced issue some issue during POC

    Return on Investment
    Google
    • From a business perspective, there were two steps.
    • First, we switched from our in-house ID management system to a cloud service. This allowed us to focus our development resources on application development.
    • At the same time, we were able to localize the handling of personal information, which resulted in increased efficiency in management aspects, including handling external inquiries, and in the development of encryption.
    • The second step was adding Google Cloud Identity as an option.
    • This allows more users to easily use our services. It can be said that this has improved user convenience.
    • I expect Google to accommodate future changes in authentication requirements, such as biometric authentication.

    • The product helped to achieve good profit as is it helps in managing the endpoints from remote which lowers the on site engineer cost.
    • The ROI for this product is 75-80 percent as it is a agent based solution and deploying agent in a large environment is painful hence to achieve the full ROI will take lot of time.
    • The solution is proven to be best for our organization as it helped to maintain the compliance of our organization be verifying the necessary application needed for the organization to make it secure.
