Customer reviews
Secure, reliable access management for partners and internal teams
The adaptive access is a big advantage. For instance, if I log in from a new location while traveling, it prompts additional verification without locking me out. Similarly, I can onboard DSP partners and grant scoped access to specific dashboards, enough for performance visibility, but without overexposing unrelated data. This balance of flexibility and security has saved us time and reduced risk compared to manual credentialing.
For partner management, role-based provisioning makes onboarding smoother. I can grant scoped access to only the reporting dashboards or campaign tools a partner needs, and revoke it instantly when contracts end, eliminating the risk of unused credentials lingering.
Risk-based authentication has been a practical benefit as well. If logins come from unusual devices or locations, Verify adds extra checks instead of blocking access entirely. This flexibility is important for me since I often log in while traveling or joining calls from different networks.
The integration with Google Workspace has also been seamless, making day-to-day collaboration easier across teams. Audit logs provide visibility into who accessed what, which helps with compliance and partner transparency. While the admin side still requires some training, once configured, policies run reliably in the background without constant oversight.
Lastly, the self-service password reset tools ease the load on IT and keep campaigns running smoothly by reducing downtime for users.
Overall, it has reduced access management complexity, improved security, and supported the fast-paced demands of client-facing adtech operations.
