Atlassian Crowd vs. Imprivata Enterprise Access Management

For smaller companies Atlassian crowd is great, however, we grew to a size where we were getting rate limited so we needed to scale up. What we ended up migrating to was the non-cloud solutions for Atlassian products. This allowed us to hit our scale without being rate limited. However, at a smaller scale, this product would work great.

Imprivata is a clear market leader for authentication management for healthcare. They don't have a whole lot of competition, and the few competitors that are out there don't really match up.

Incentivized

• Many different options for authentication, including credential validation only, user detail synchronization, and more
• Many different levels of access control, including, user, group, and application-level

Incentivized

• Password management
• Quick access while moving from workstation to workstation
• Auto-login to applications and websites

Incentivized

• We did not get the speed that we needed vs. hosting our own local atlassian product
• Configuring accounts could have been easier
• I didn't like the process for installing extensions

Incentivized

• The agent process was sometime slow.
• System health was an issue and the tool really needs a maintenance process to allow for a system restart when not in use, we accomplished it with secondary scripts.
• Disconnect with Citrix was sometimes an issue but we were running an older version of the application server. The logging and troubleshooting was cumbersome to comb through.

Overall, support is good, you get quick responses from Atlassian's official support system, and documentation is decent enough for you to find what you need.

Atlassian Crowd is just much easier to set up, plus most of our systems we use are from Atlassian, they work with Atlassian Crowd out of the box without much effort, so it ended up being the natural choice for us.

It's easy to deploy and the total cost of ownership is lesser compared to other products. Have dedicated support team who helps you out when there is any technical issue.The Admin console very easy and intuitive to use; this makes any new user to manage the tool very easily with less hand holding.

• New systems are tough when it comes to an ROI, as a dollar amount for saving time on a sign-in can be tough to track. Like most new systems that makes things slightly easier to execute as an end user or manage or support, it really might come down to the existing structure of how a company manages its users.
• The positives are always with the end user, which I have to say, Crowd was able to accomplish.

Incentivized

• Simplified the user log in experience.
• Reclaimed staff time and efficiency in the daily operations.
• Helped us maintain industry required compliance mandates.
