Reliability and Availability

IBM Security Verify was always available when needed. Outages and errors were not an issue.

Product Configurability

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.

Alternatives Considered

SecurID and Microsoft Entra ID

IBM Security Verify stacks up with Microsoft Entra ID better than SecurID due to categories in common such as, Self Service password resets, Multi-Factor Authentication, User Provision and Governance Tools, SSO, and IAM. SecurID not so much because it doesn't have that full range of capabilities.
