WSO2 Identity Server provides
security and identity management of enterprise web applications, services, and
APIs. The most recent version of Identity Server acts as an Enterprise Identity
Bus (EIB) — a central backbone to connect and manage multiple identities
regardless of the standards on which they are based.
I selected Passly at first as it would allow for a single sign on with azure to Kaseya VSA. Kaseya has made access to different products very different. VSA does not have single sign on with Azure where as Vorex/BMS does. This is a feature that Kaseya should make unified …
Google's Authenticator app is easy and streamlined, like much of Google's products. The home screen shows you the security code and how much time is left. Kaseya's AuthAnvil requires multiple clicks to even reach the security code, and only has a progress bar that lets you …
Kaseya’s products have a lot of features to them that help an MSP do their job. Accessing and getting to them is a lot easier with AuthAnvil. It’s secure and easy to use. Atera has a similar design, but overall you don’t come close to Kaseya’s products. I often found myself …
We have transitioned our Multi-Factor authentication processes to use either Authy, Duo, or Microsoft Authenticator, depending on the application use-case. We still have some clients using AuthAnvil, but it is no longer our preferred application for MFA. The other offerings in …
I am currently testing Okta as well. Okta seems to have a lot more functionality. They have integrations with mostly every SaaS around. They have a smoother Windows 2FA that includes push notifications and Yubikey integration. AuthAnvil is the only 2FA service available for …
We are pretty satisfied with the features and price of Kaseya. It's easier to deploy than say Entrust or Symantec. What really makes it stand out is the integration with the overall Kaseya environment and managing everything from one pane of glass.
From my experience, Kaseya made a mistake with Passly. It does not work correctly. When it does work it is very delayed causing issues for logging into the system. When Kaseya was contacted they could not find users at all. When they finally found the users they could not edit it needing them to escalate to development to fix accounts.
Overall, the product works well but does take time and effort to implement in highly complex environments. However, I do not believe this is unique to WS02.
They are very helpful with helping us with any issues. There are a lot of helpful guides online if you get lost. Kaseya is also good about not bugging you with notifications. Kaseya offers easy to access to support options. Overall I have not had to contact them over a lot of issues. The software rarely broke or was down for maintenance.
We have transitioned our Multi-Factor authentication processes to use either Authy, Duo, or Microsoft Authenticator, depending on the application use-case. We still have some clients using AuthAnvil, but it is no longer our preferred application for MFA. The other offerings in the market fulfill the same requirement with either lower or no additional cost and are easier to manage and more consistent in their performance.
Using AuthAnvil to log into Kaseya VSA multiple times was definitely a loss in productivity.
AuthAnvil did provide lots of security for our products because everyone would be deterred by AuthAnvil and Kaseya VSA's labyrinth-like log in process.
WSO2 works well when you need specific user sign-up information and allows you to then tailor the access, for example, to the job role or area of discipline. We use this to tailor the learning offered to a user upon initial login.
