RSA Access Manager (Discontinued) vs. Tivoli Identity Manager (legacy)

The RSA was originally brought in for 2-factor authentication, which was used in conjunction with our internal Active Directory. This allowed us to secure our remote user connections and our internal user connections for PCI access. Later we tied it into ISE for secure wireless access.

It's probably really best suited if you have a business where you have disparate systems but need a way to synchronize the user account information including the passwords between them. If you just have a Windows Active Directory environment only, there probably is no real need for something like this, but if you do this will help manage them easily.

Incentivized

• Used in conjunction with our Active Directory for 2-factor authentication
• The virtual RSA token for multiple devices makes it easy to avoid needing a physical device
• The ability to leverage real-time analytics to identify when step-up is required

Incentivized

• Fully customizable
• Automate various portions of various applications
• Great at Access Management (but also Release, Change, Event, etc)

Incentivized

• The support for new LDAP version(389-DS)

• Sometimes it feels unresponsive and we have to restart the services.

Besides the random issue where it gets unresponsive and we have to restart the services or reboot the server, it's been really solid. I've only had to contact support 1 time in the 15 years I've used it which is saying more than most other software. The cost of maintenance is also very cheap compared to some of the other software we use.

Incentivized

The solution is stable and well supported.

I haven't used anything but Tivoli in this space.

Incentivized

• To be compliant with the Security Standards about the 2FA

• It has helped us all these years to not have to waste time managing users on multiple systems.
• It controls our password policy for our domain.
