IBM Verify Overview

What is IBM Verify?

A centralized solution for managing customer and workforce identity and access including capabilities such as single-sign-on, multifactor authentication, adaptive AI-based access, passwordless access, and lifecycle and consent management. IBM Verify is a single-stack cloud-based, on premises, or hybrid-cloud solution for all identity and access needs listed above. Other advantages it presents are a way to integrate with legacy access and CRM applications, reverse proxies to help increase performance, reliability, and security, and a way to migrate from on-premises to cloud, not only from an application standpoint, but also in unifying directories. IBM Verify is available on AWS Marketplace. If data residency is a top concern, when combined with AWS, the vendor states that IBM Verify has the broadest tenancy, and can be delivered using a rapid deployment model that has already been put to the test in several critical situations. IBM further states they continue to invest in achieving and maintaining all the pertinent certifications such as SOC 2, ISO 27001, and PCI DSS, plus full FedRAMP authorization. IBM Verify is not just a solution IBM provides to clients for identity and access, but it is used it to establish a zero-trust posture for over 25 million of the company's own internal and external end-users, supporting 5,000 applications, more than 600 federated client companies and their workforces, and over 150,000 authorization groups, plus Mac, iOS, Android, Windows, Linux, and Z (mainframe) operating systems, which they state includes one of the world’s largest Apple deployments, and one of the largest Linux deployments.

What do you like best about IBM Verify?

I easily integrated the IBM verify tool with our HR tool, so when HR creates a new users account on joining day it will automatically create accounts in IBM verify. I created groups and mapped the apps based on department and role. So once HR creates new users they will get access to all apps immediately. And deactivation also same process when HR delete user that will remove all access. This is high secured user access management tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about IBM Verify?

IBM is an access management tool which lets you verify the user and adds an extra layer of security to your services (2 Factor Authentication) just in case passwords are not secure enough due to scams happening worldwide and techniques like trojan and phising it is a basic need to verify the traffic and users on the services used Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about IBM Verify?

According to me to add an extra layer of security is anything is no bad as it is beneficial for all of us but as ibm can follow up with government rules for verifying user as far as i have heard about gdpr which I am sure they must be already doing so in other case customer feedback can be taken so improve and make it as easy as it can Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is IBM Verify solving and how is that benefiting you?

User can have a control on their data - knowledge to your data being used on platforms is always good , Consent is recorded and if rejected they are unable to use it incase they perform or use any data legal action can be taken which is really helpful for today's generation as everything is online as data is badly used for setting algorithms across multiple websites data is being transferred without knowing Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Its also great for every business because it gives real-time alerts and useful data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about IBM Verify?

Setting it up at first can be a bit tricky, especially if you're not from technical background. The instructions can be clear in some parts. Also, after some updates, there are small bugs i faced that need fixing, but fixed it quickly. Overall, it’s a very reliable tool! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is IBM Verify solving and how is that benefiting you?

The main problem which I faced is Authorization...So It helps by making logins more secure and protecting accounts from unauthorized access. It solves the problem of weak passwords by adding multi-factor authentication etc., This gives me relaxation & ensures my data stays safe while being easy to use.

What do you like best about IBM Verify?

Instead than simply onboarding users into apps, it is critical to remove their access on time. Because data security is increasingly critical. Since we integrated SSO for all applications using IBM Verify, deleting users in the interface will remove access to all apps, which is a critical and required feature for all enterprises. This is extremely readily accomplished with the IBM verify tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about IBM Verify?

Till now I didn't face any issues with this tool. Much required IAM tool for us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about IBM Verify?

Our client required MFA to get access to our application UI. We used IBM Verify to set up a DEMO to prove it works as the client expected. Now, the MFA configuration is in Production. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about IBM Verify?

There are a few items that need to be improved. 1. Online help: More step-by-step details may help. 2. Permission on group: there is a need to create admin user for our client, and the client admin shall be able to onboard their Trading Partners, we created a custom "Administrator Role" and limited the user admin right to a certain user group by using scope. It is not working, the client admin cannot create a user in that user group. Without the scope of the user group, the client admin can create/update/delete any user in any group in clude admin user and admin user group. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

IBM Identity and Access Management is being used and successfully running in our organization from last seven years. This authentication mechanism secures your account from unauthorized access. We have implemented single sign on via intergrated active directory with IAM. User just use their domain id and password on numerous application via single signon.

Via IAM we can easily tag the rights to the right person. Also the Multifactor or two factor authentication is also in place to avoid unauthorized access Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
