Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The most valuable feature for us is the ability to use Active Directory groups as virtual containers instead of domains because it means that we can control our access groups better."

More Gemalto Protiva Pros →

"Ingestion of logs and raising alert space on those logs are the most valuable features.""The capability to manage your business policy related to security when required without vendor involvement.""Risk Engine’s risk score, eFN, GeoIP, and device binding all coming together in the Policy Rules to decide when to escalate to MFA.""The most valuable feature is the stock tokens. That works the best for us.""Our customer are seeing value from the product, as they experience cost reductions. They can stop fraud from their customers, then their customers can have a better experience from their services."

More RSA Adaptive Authentication Pros →

"It stands out as a comprehensive and adaptable solution that excels in both on-premises and cloud-based authentication, offers strong security with multi-layered authentication, and boasts a well-maintained product with reliable performance.""It is a good solution for token identification.""The most valuable feature is the SecurID.""It is a stable solution. I would rate the stability a nine out of ten.""I have found RSA Authentication Manager to be scalable.""The most valuable feature is the provision part. The mapping and the logging is also very good. In addition, the troubleshooting, from a console point of view, is easy for administration and on the provisioning and logging part.""Easy setup, deployment, and integration in different infrastructures, including virtual ones."

Cons
"The user interface needs improvement."

More Gemalto Protiva Cons →

"I would like to see a more adaptive type of solution, something that we could use on our web pages...""It has taken years to implement.""Better filters when searching for events. The current features for current filters when searching fraud events are not very comprehensive. You can only filter by certain fields in the transaction.""Reporting modules is one of the major areas that can be improved further.""RSA Adaptive Authentication lacks a mechanism to verify the identity of a new user in the Enrollment event workflow.""The product is basically unusable. We need better ease of use; it's overly complicated."

More RSA Adaptive Authentication Cons →

"We have encountered issue when trying to expand this particular solution for a large set of users across the country.""Enhancing the user interface and expanding their marketing efforts in regions like Nigeria and West Africa could be beneficial.""Our major problem is the authentication via Microsoft, via Microsoft cloud systems. This is our major aim, to be a valued product for the future. The biggest problem is to work against cheap cloud systems. Cloud identification is our main problem at this time.""We are not planning on using the solution in the future.""We found technical support was not very responsive to our requests for assistance.""Perhaps parts of the the user interface should become more intuitive.""There is room for improvement in the RSA support."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "This is a cost-effective solution compared to some other products out there."
  • More Gemalto Protiva Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "You may need to opt for second best if funding is low and the number of users is huge. However, the pricing is able to be negotiated if your user figures are huge."
  • "Keep the proxy service layer on premises. That consumes SaaS security services on the back-end."
  • "Customers need to deploy the solution in a very expensive infrastructure. RSA should should think about a less expensive infrastructure for customers because the solution costs around $100,000, and the infrastructure needed to support that solution may be even more expensive than that price."
  • "The pricing is $50 per head, yearly."
  • More RSA Adaptive Authentication Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "The pricing is a little bit complicated because sometimes resellers are able to make prices that are too low. Our price, with a discount, is typically not as high as some of our competitors."
  • "As a new customer, the minimum cost would be four dollars, but you have room for negotiation, potentially bringing it down to as low as three dollars."

    Overview
    Protiva is a strong authentication platform that was developed to incorporate the strengths of Gemalto's smart card technology. It consists of a family of smart card-based user authentication devices, a browser plug-in, an authentication and customer care server and a self-service user care portal.
    RSA Adaptive Authentication is a risk-based two-factor authentication solution providing cost-effective protection for an entire user base. Adaptive Authentication secures online portals, SSL VPNs, and web access management portals for different types of organizations in the healthcare, insurance, enterprise, government, financial services, and other industries. Based on the transparent two-factor authentication technology, Adaptive Authentication works behind the scenes to authenticate end users and transactions based on individual end user and device profiles. In addition, Adaptive Authentication uses the RSA Risk Engine to estimate the level of risk for the specific activity and uses information collected from the RSAeFraudNetwork (a cross-organization, cross-application, cross-border online fraud network) to identify fraudulent activities. The Policy Manager determines what actions must be performed, depending on the risk score and other parameters.
    RSA Authentication Manager is the platform behind RSA SecurID that allows for centralized management of the RSA SecurID environment including authentication methods, users, applications, and agents across multiple physical sites. It verifies authentication requests and centrally administers authentication policies for organizations' end users.
