PortalGuard Reviews

SSO and MFA are a big plus for today's standards. As wells as the ease of integration.

Mostly we have seen issues, or delays with troubleshooting and customization in certain areas.

It has benefited in automizing the process of creating accounts for our students and solving password creation.

We've been using PortalGuard for several years now, and it has worked perfectly for us. It integrates all of our single sign-on (SSO) services and consolidates links to them onto one page. It enables us to include non-SSO links, since users find the one-stop shopping experience helpful. It includes password reset options for users and enables us to provide First-Time Users with easy access to all our secure online services. PortalGuard supports MFA and enables admins to customize the options for some features. The PortalGuard application has grown significantly in the past few years, while the customer support has remained among the best we've had from any vendor. We chose PortalGuard to replace a more expensive portal solution and have never been more pleased.

These days, we expect a solution we can install on our own. Although we needed the help of the implementation engineer, after several meetings, the rapport we developed was constructive for both articulating our specific needs and for getting those needs met. And honestly, the number of services we've had to integrate for SSO has been a bigger job than we expected. But even a complex configuration was made easy-peasy with the expert help we received! I'm hopeful that future releases will empower administrators to easily update branding and style features.

We found PortalGuard to be the best option available.

This product was less expensive than the solution we had used previously. It also introduced additional functionality, better customer support, and improved reliability.

Enhanced Security, Improved User Experience, Seamless Integration with existing applications.

The learning curve is a a bit steep at first. The customization options for the login page are still limited. Their support system is kind of flaky. The support itself isn't just their system.

PortalGuard from Bio-key helps me solve the following problems:

Its outside of the normal attack vector for Microsoft.

The on prem solutions interface is a little outdated

They solve passwrod resets and

I think that the MFA and SSO (offered by PortalGuard) is one of the best ways to not only streamline the user access but also ensuring protection for the user as well.

The downside to PortalGuard is that it might be difficult to utlize with technology deficient users.

PortalGuard allows for me to streamline my user access with ease of mind knowing that they are utilizing high tier protection. With this being said, this benefits me to not have to worry about my infomation being leaked or utilized without my permission.

The ability to have an IdP that can integrate with multiple user directories to provide a single login service for all corporate systems. Very flexible as it supports many authentication types with the ability to customize the reponse to fit the need.

Adding in integrations is a snap. Typical configuraton time is less than 5 minutes for integrating with SAML / OIDC.

Very friendly and knowlegable staff. I no longer have to update PG because it is in the cloud and they take care of it.

Sometimes when we request a change (ie updated security ciphers, protocols, etc) the request has to work with all their other cloud clients before they can do an update for us. This is understandable, but can be annoying when you are trying to meet audit requirements.

They were the first company that we used for Single Sign On. Since SSO is becoming bigger and bigger and it not going away, Portalguard helped us to get going on our project of SSO.

The technology is good and the support is even better; I've had good support experiences from all of the people I've worked with at PortalGuard since our rollout a couple of years ago - I've had lots of time working with support getting help setting up new connections or sorting out an issue here or there and it has been a great relationship that we plan to continue.

The biggest detraction from PortalGuard hasn't been much - just waiting for new features to be released - the core product which we use is solid but some of the cool new features that would improve the overall experience just takes a bit, that said they seem to do a solid job of QA testing as once things are released they generally work like they're supposed to.

Prior to PortalGuard we didn't have a proper self service password reset tool, with PortalGuard we do have one and it works well so it solved that issue. We've got a large number of separate systems and we're moving everything to SSO with contextual MFA to improve security and improve the user experience. We've tested the Biometric Authentication and it works but we've not been able to fully roll that out yet due to being busy. Overall the product has been solid and relatively easy to setup the individual connections and support is ready and able to help when needed.

This software is does everything you need it to do very simply. It is the hidden gem that no one knows about.

Nothing at all. It is a great product. If I could change one thing I would like for our Duo prompts to actually only prompt once per day and to limit the prompts by enabling them for every where, but my Public IP.

Simplifying SSO and creating a simple portal.

PortalGuard is very flexible in terms of configuration options, OTP methods, and customization of pages. We deployed PortalGuard to over 10,000 users within just a couple of months instead of the 6+ month project we were anticipating

I haven't found any dislikes with PortalGuard, it meets all of our expectations.

PortalGuard has solved many issues for us, primarily enhanced our security with MFA. We also implemented SSO across our suite of applications and Self-Service Password Reset. These services have saved our customers and support team an incredible amount of time.
