Overall Satisfaction with IBM Verify

IBM Verify is our primary MFA and identity verification tool. It provides us with additional verification steps that ensure only authorized employees can access specific company information. It has played an instrumental role in strengthening our security posture and also reducing the risk of phishing. It provides us with one centralised authentication platform which brings uniformity in security in all departments. It is intergrated with our cloud and other platforms and all employees use it for daily authentication into our systems.

Pros

  • It has very reliable MFA push notifications that ensure a smooth login process.
  • Using biometrics makes login and authentication faster
  • It provides phishing resistant authentication methods which boosts our security posture
  • Setting the app on my phone was pretty much straightforward.

Cons

  • It has limited customization for alerts and security prompts.
  • I have experienced occasional sync delays when switching devices.
  • Offline authentication does not work smoothly.
  • The reliable MFA has significantly reduced the number of password reset requests.
  • The centralized identity verification has increased compliance.
  • It has increased employee productivity through faster logins and approval of processes.
