Pros
"It is a stable solution. I would rate the stability a nine out of ten.""Easy setup, deployment, and integration in different infrastructures, including virtual ones.""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.""I have found RSA Authentication Manager to be scalable.""The most valuable feature is the SecurID.""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."

"Roles, connectors for provisioning and re-accreditation or reviews help greatly to govern user access.""With the tool in place, you need to hire fewer people to provide access, and you have control over your processes.""The data collection is excellent and easy to do. It does not require a lot of configuration nor does it require rules to be written like other competitors do.""RSA Identity Governance and lifecycles are good for the access certification and auditing sections.""The most valuable feature is the security, in particular, the One Time Password support."

Cons
"There is room for improvement in the RSA support.""Enhancing the user interface and expanding their marketing efforts in regions like Nigeria and West Africa could be beneficial.""We found technical support was not very responsive to our requests for assistance.""We have encountered issue when trying to expand this particular solution for a large set of users across the country.""Perhaps parts of the the user interface should become more intuitive.""We are not planning on using the solution in the future.""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."

More RSA Authentication Manager Cons →

"There are scalability issues. This product does not scale very well. It is not a good product for load balancing / active–active architecture.""Every connector that you have in the product needs to be custom-built, so there are not a lot of standard connectors available in the product, because of which there are a lot of hidden consultancy costs.""If you use the appliance version then it won't handle a huge database volume.""This product is missing a lot of features which other competitors are providing. One of the key features that are missing right now is risk scoring. Additionally, there is not much scope for customization - everything is hard-coded and predefined, so it does not allow the developers to make many modifications.""The user interface and workflow need improvement, and more connectors would help.""RSA Identity Governance and Lifecycle could improve out-of-the-box customization.""Technical support in Pakistan can be improved."

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."
  • More RSA Authentication Manager Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "Pricing varies based on user count/number of modules you need."
  • "We are using the cloud platform, but we don't find it compatible to be served as a multi-tenant platform. This is a large drawback. It becomes expensive because it is then an all-dedicated solution. You have to have a separate tenant for each client, which increases the cost. The overall unit pricing can be less expensive than how it is right now."
  • "I rate the product's price a five on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
