Product Details

What is IBM Security Verify?

A centralized solution for managing customer and workforce identity and access including capabilities such as single-sign-on, multifactor authentication, adaptive AI-based access, passwordless access, and lifecycle and consent management.

IBM Security Verify is a single-stack cloud-based, on premises, or hybrid-cloud solution for allidentity and access needs listed above. Other advantages it presents are a way to integrate with legacy access and CRM applications, reverse proxies to help increase performance, reliability, and security, and a way to migrate from on-premises to cloud, not only from an application standpoint, but also in unifying directories.

If data residency is a top concern, when combined with AWS, the vendor states that IBM Security Verify has the broadest tenancy, and can be delivered using a rapid deployment model that has already been put to the test in several critical situations. IBM further states they continue to invest in achieving and maintaining all the pertinent certifications such as SOC 2, ISO 27001, and PCI DSS, plus full FedRAMP authorization in 2022.

IBM Security Verify is not just a solution IBM provides to clients for identity and access, but it is used it to establish a zero-trust posture for over 25 million of the company's own internal and external end-users, supporting 5,000 applications, more than 600 federated client companies and their workforces, and over 150,000 authorization groups, plus Mac, iOS, Android, Windows, Linux, and Z (mainframe) operating systems, which they state includes one of the world’s largest Apple deployments, and one of the largest Linux deployments.

Solution configuration is very much customizable, however whenever we have to change something, we find it difficult to perform. You have to get used to the product for some time, before you understand the organizational logic behind it.

IBM Security Verify is highly customizable. It lets you allow to choose between different security protocols and methods. But most importantly customization depends on users as well if one is a small organization customization isn't that much needed.

Definitely requires some expertise and resources, particularly for organizations with complex IAM requirements or existing IAM systems. Also, organizations with highly specialized IAM requirements may encounter limitations in tailoring the platform to their specific needs.

Yes IBM Security Verify's configurability was good, we never had any issues with that at all during our time using the software. The complexity was not too much either, it had proper layers of protection without too many layers of authentication to access it. I would recommend the service to anyone.

We found Verify to have a very extensive configuration set. We felt that we underutilized the system at first and 'grew into it' as we became more confident. Utilizing just our original identified scope, I would say this product is a little on the too-extended side, but I would also say that this product will future-proof any organization from tomorrow's threats.

From our point of view and usage, we have only made light use of customisation options. Branding of the portal is very simple and effective. There does appear to be further options that we could utilise, but haven’t. For the price point, there is ample configurability, too and isn’t overly complex for someone technically inclined.

No, while we have many out of box solutions never once I felt that the configuration was limited. The documentation and the we have most reliable solutions available across the IBM sites, which almost all the times helped with issues and it's not at all limited and Infact makes the job easy for us.

The software has a bit of a learning curve so that you can use it to its fullest, but you easily get used to it as it's not a vast software with too many features and gets the work done for which it was implemented. You can get the software up and running within a week.

From my perspective (user) the product is perfect for our needs. We actually do not have a complex scenario, but I believe that the product is suitable for most demands regarding security control on data and application authorization for teams and/or users. We didn´t need complex integrations because our processes are simple, but we know that there were several possibilities to deploy a more customized solution if we needed it.

Low rating here. NOT very configurable. Even though the configurability is higher than some other software -- GOOD LUCK FINDING IT. it can be a hassle to even change simple settings like avatars and color themes. If you have to get into the nitty-gritty of the program, you better have an advanced degree in computers!

There is a lot of configuration you can do. If a feature is not available in ISAM you are able to develop it yourself. The framework it provides is extensive and there are lots of possibilities. This does bring more complexity and less user-friendliness.
