ManageEngine ADSelfService Plus
Both IT teams and end users are afflicted by password reset tickets. IT teams will often push more urgent issues down the queue to ensure that users don't have their work put on hold while their passwords reset. Password reset tickets can be costly if they aren't addressed promptly. Nearly 30 percent of all help desk tickets were caused by forgotten passwords. It is not surprising that large companies have spent more than $1 million to resolve password-related help desk requests. It is a good habit to change passwords regularly, as it helps prevent cyberattacks caused by stolen credentials. Security experts recommend that administrators ensure that users change their passwords regularly and have password expiration policies in place.

Description

Many developers are unaware that the most powerful tool for managing users, handling authentication and authorization, and even designing custom login and signup pages is completely free and open source: Keycloak 🤯. However, being free means you’re responsible for setting it up and maintaining it as your application scales. This creates several challenges that we aim to solve: Awareness: Developers and businesses are often unaware that Keycloak can address all their IAM needs. Cost: Many businesses are paying significant costs with current IDaaS providers. Maintenance: Businesses already using Keycloak face challenges in managing maintenance overhead and meeting compliance requirements for sensitive data. Skycloak is a managed Keycloak service that provides enterprise-grade identity and access management capabilities without the complexity of managing your own infrastructure. It combines the robust features of Keycloak with additional tools and services to enhance your security and development experience.
