One Identity, by Quest
Frankly, it is suited both when someone is working from home or in office. There can be kids who would fiddle with the machine or in office, someone might do it knowingly or unknowingly. This added layer ensures that the user is a tad bit safer. The only problem is that, once you login, you don't get triggers for an entire day. I wish if they add a trigger after every hour or two. I know it would be annoying but at least my identity is secure.

Cons
IBM
  • Cleanup the menu bar- way too many items.
  • Ktap support for newer O/S. Recently, I have had to open support tickets to get the most recent support for the RHEL Kernel.
  • Also, upgrading agents to V12 doesnt not have the same Flex or exact match for KTAP as 11.5. You would think V12 would have the same Kernel support as 11.5. Clients are moving to V12.

Usability
IBM
This software is not the easiest to use in all work environments, each department has some difficulties accessing and managing some functions, it can be considered a complex softy, but I consider it necessary to have it in the company due to its security qualities of warm cans, it offers exactly what it promises but with a little difficulty in its configuration.
