Use Cases and Deployment Scope

IBM Security Verify role in my organization is to support the Identity and governance of user access rights, as well as permissions assigned to the users. As we strive to achieve implementation of certain zero trust principles, we find this solution very useful, especially if you already have other products from the same vendor.

Pros and Cons

Binding with API and providing adequate federation
Adaptability in policy enforcement
user management

More user friendly GUI
The Knowledge based documentation is big and unorganized. Supporting documentation can be modular, as at the moment if a customer tries to search for a certain solution, you will get many unnecessary results not connected as well.

Return on Investment

Definitely it is recommended if you want to move away from traditional security approaches
improvement of the security in the organization, less number of orphan accounts
scallability as well,

Reliability and Availability

I would rather say that there are still a lot of challenges when we speak about availability in certain scenarios, however bottom line is that planning for high availability requirements from the very beginning of the implementation planning, is a prerequisite for a successful deployment and resource utilization.

Product Configurability

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.

Alternatives Considered

Delinea Account Lifecycle Manager

IBM Security Verify was chosen because there were already implemented security solutions from IBM.

Likelihood to Recommend

Although it integrates with many other vendors, it is more suitable for the client to implement it natively with other IBM solutions, however when integrated with others, it doesn't work so well. For example, integration with IBM SIEM solution is smooth and effortless, however when integrating with other SIEM platforms like LogRhythm, may sometimes lead to challenges.
