    Middesk majorly provides us with real-time access to the data and documents which are required for automating KYB and CIP regulatory compliance, mitigating front and backend risk. In addition, it is the easiest way for financial services companies to verify and monitor their business customers. It for us very much makes the process of onboarding customers very easy.

    UserLock is well suited to easily managing MFA for users of various levels to improve security hardening in a granular manner. It's open ended implementation of the IIS module is good for web authentication of all sorts of sites. Reporting of user's access and notifying of multiple logons is great.

    Usability
    Middesk Inc.
    UI is not as intuitive as other systems we use. For states that require income tax withholding, some of them require registration with multiple agencies - the UI doesn't easily tell you which login credentials are tied to which agency.

    The user experience of this tool must be rearchitected. I am able to observe a lot of lag in the process when initiated. There are sometimes when the tool's navigation becomes difficult. The time taken at times is large to process a request and this can also be highly improved in the future.

    ADP Workforce Now offers a module to handle payroll tax registrations. The interface is confusing and the information is hard to find. The service and support are awful - nobody ever knows who can answer tax account questions, they escalate to a different department and promise a callback but they never call back.

    • Sometimes does not unlock task manager access when it pops up with MFA prompt, can be a pain to have to undo
    • It's great value for money compared to more high end products
    • Generally reliable and has improved security hardening
