“Not the best out there, but gets the job done.”

The setup and configuration of this software is a bit tricky, and takes a little bit to wrap your head around and can be a bit flaky at times. That being said when it comes to managing users accessing your network or whatnot it is a great piece of software that is easy to manage. It is worth noting that their helpdesk is also sub par.

SafeNet Trusted Access Likes & Dislikes

Like

I like most about the product is that it works as expected. The access policies and adding applications is very easy to setup and understand.

Like

Once you learn to use the software and the ins and outs of it, it is fairly easy to navigate. We use this mostly to manage our onsite users, offsite users, contractors etc who need access to files on our system or access into our network whether onsite or via VPN/RDP/RDS etc. We have run into our share of issues, but at the end of the day this software keep a good audit trail, as well as allows us to grant access for whatever to whomever needs it. This may not be the best software or easiest to use, but it is as reliable as the rest.

Like

SafeNet Trusted Access protects Hybrid and complex environments. Offers flexible and risk-based protection. Authentication is fast/reliable. I like the SSO feature.

Dislike

I dislike switching from the STA and SAS console to view data.

Dislike

The setup isn't as clean as it could be. We were helped all along the way by a Thales technician, but it felt very rushed with not a lot of information hand off, so we were left figuring out a lot of it ourselves as things didn't work as they should. It is a fairly solid product, when it is working properly. However, any sort of hiccup, ie loss of internet, faulty NIC etc can leave you chasing your til for a while.

Dislike

SafeNet Trusted Access has always been reliable. No issues.
