Janrain / Akamai Identity Cloud (discontinued) vs. Protectimus

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.

One thing we really like is getting OTPs and payment alerts through messaging bots. Unlike SMS, it’s free for us, secure, and users like it. It’s a way to send codes and notifications without extra costs. These messages are always right there for the user, easy to access on their phone.

We’ll keep using Protectimus. Been using it for years, no real issues, it just works. Covers what we need, different setups, mgmt, logs, all that. OTP via bots is really handy and saves us money. Support’s fine, they reply when needed. Overall, it does the job, so we’ll keep it.

I gave 10 points for their solution because the GUI got a fresh update and it’s really easy to use now. The old one had some annoying limitations, but the new layout is much more intuitive. On mobile it works good too. Managing relations between tokens, users, and resources is way smoother now.

We are using Janrain to protect our data from internet attacks and they also have good customer support to cover critical instances. Customer data can be accessed easily. They also have an MFA facility to stop unauthorized persons [from] accessing the data. They also provide a 30-day basic plan to experience their facility which can be useful to know the features and facility of that product.

We checked a few options before picking Protectimus. We looked at SafeNet Auth Management, Duo, and using Google Authenticator with our own backend. SafeNet felt really old-school — UI looks dated and the system’s kinda tricky to run & maintain. Duo’s solid, but it’s pricey and, more importantly, doesn’t offer full on-prem deployment. We need on-prem to handle auth for our employees on our own infra, so that was a dealbreaker. Google Authenticator is popular & free, but it’s just a client for generating OTPs — all the user mgmt, token handling, and policies would be on us.Protectimus gives all that out of the box. We can manage users & tokens centrally, set auth policies, and support multiple channels. That flexibility made it the best fit for our setup.

• Customer data can be easily accessed
• we have protected our data which can also be accessed anywhere without worrying [about] internet attacks
• Pricing is bit high for what we get
