Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use IBM Security Verify to manage our authentication process for our employees. Applications are integrated via SAML, OIDC, LTPA2, or HTTP header. Using ISVA we support SSO between our applications and manage to enforce MFA based on different criteria.

Pros and Cons

Lots of customisation possible
Support for multiple authentication protocols
Configurable through API

Lacks certain functionalities that are standard in competitors
Support can be lacking
Documentation could be more extensive

Return on Investment

We've had a lot of issues with upgrades. When involving support in the issues, it usually takes a long time for them to be resolved.

Product Configurability

Configurability is very extensive but also very complex in some cases
