Overall Satisfaction with IBM Security Verify

We identified Verify to establish a zero-trust posture organisation wide which enables us to provide an extra layer of authentication to our critical resources. Multi-factor authentication is a big must these days and all security products we reviewed at the time had to have this ability to enable us with internal/external cyber resilience compliance. Integration with existing systems was also a major part of our scoping work.
  • MFA
  • integration with other systems.
  • Protection from cyber attacks.
  • Mobile app GUI needs tweaks to help make it intuitive to users.
  • Support Documentation was a little tricky to follow.
  • General - steep learning curve.
  • Enhanced our security practice as an organisation.
  • Helped us build compliance assurance.
  • Enhanced our remote access capabilities.
Throughout the system testing we conducted, we never encountered an issue that wasn't easily solvable. We did find some of the documentation confusing at times, but we overcame this quickly with some speedy support assistance. Implementation into production was a lot smoother following the testing we conducted.
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.
For the feature set, Verify was by far the more attractive product. We use some other Fortinet systems, so naturally, we wanted to see what else was available outside of this ecosystem. Verify wasn't the cheapest solution, but it does provide a level of confidence that you are covered for the future should your scope widen.

Verify protects our on-premises resources and some of our cloud-based ones, too. We've used SSO with several apps without issues. MFA was the main driver for us, and Verify was found to be a good fit for our needs, enabling our end users to access resources securely. This facility helped us build cyber assurance with our stakeholders.
