Passwordless logins have transformed daily approvals and CRM access with secure biometrics
What is our primary use case?
My main use case for 1Kosmos BlockID is passwordless authentication, and that is the primary feature we use.
I definitely use 1Kosmos BlockID for passwordless authentication in our organization. We have our resource employee portals and CRM integrated with BlockID, so every time we log in, we do not have to remember our passwords. Day in and day out, we log in multiple times to our employee portals to approve attendance and service requests, and when we get into the CRM, it is just a single scan of the QR code integrated with our login pages. You see a QR code on our login page, you open the BlockID application on your phone, scan the QR code, confirm it is you, and you are logged in—no username and no password. That is how simple it is.
Regarding my main use case with BlockID, I think it was pretty smooth, and we did not have any problems. It is pretty simple and very easy to understand for every user of the organization, whether in finance or HR. You do not have to be tech-savvy to understand the workflow or how to use it.
We used SSO with Okta prior to implementing 1Kosmos BlockID, which we still use, but for passwordless authentication, there was no solution before 1Kosmos BlockID.
What is most valuable?
The best features that 1Kosmos BlockID offers, besides passwordless authentication, definitely include accuracy. When it does the face scanning, it is very accurate and you cannot bypass that. Convenience stands out as well, as you can either log in with TOTP or QR code scanning, and those two options help you out a lot compared to other products.
1Kosmos BlockID has positively impacted my organization primarily by improving security. You do not need to worry about changing or remembering passwords, which often have to be 12 digits long with several criteria. This adds a lot of user convenience, and the QR code scanning is one of the best features I have seen. It saves a lot of time and removes the hassle of remembering passwords, which would often lead to wasted time resetting them, especially while traveling and lacking email access. It has eliminated those challenges, saved time, and enhanced user convenience, while also boosting security since you are using live biometrics.
What needs improvement?
I do not think there are any improvements needed for 1Kosmos BlockID. After using it for the last two years, we do not see any challenges, and the features we are using are pretty much enough for our use case.
We are satisfied with 1Kosmos BlockID, and I do not see a need for any improvements at least for this use case.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using 1Kosmos BlockID for almost two years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
1Kosmos BlockID is definitely stable. We have not seen any issues for the last two years.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
Regarding the scalability of 1Kosmos BlockID, it has been stable for our user base, and we have not noticed any limitations. The architecture allows us to add nodes using a horizontal scalability method without challenges.
How are customer service and support?
I am not directly interacting with the support team. However, from an IT perspective, I do not think there would have been any challenges because the SOPs and documentation were so seamless and easy to operate.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
We used SSO with Okta prior to implementing 1Kosmos BlockID, which we still use, but for passwordless authentication, there was no solution before 1Kosmos BlockID.
How was the initial setup?
The integration with other systems in 1Kosmos BlockID was pretty easy. We have integrated it with our in-house tools and the web API available on the web page makes it very easy to integrate with no hassle. We just need to have the right sets of APIs available and it is pretty simple. We do not see any challenges.
What was our ROI?
I have seen a return on investment with 1Kosmos BlockID, mainly through time saved and consequently money saved. Even if I am saving just a few minutes a day due to password resets for 2-3% of our workforce, that adds up over time. I do not have exact numbers, but time has certainly been saved and user experience has increased multiple times over, which I consider equivalent to an ROI.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
My experience with the pricing, setup cost, and licensing for 1Kosmos BlockID was seamless. Our IT team handled the setup, so I was not directly involved. From the user end, it was just onboarding, installing the application on our phones, and enabling biometrics, so it was seamless. The pricing and licensing are aspects I do not have details on as they are unknown to me.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
I did not evaluate other options before choosing 1Kosmos BlockID. It was a new product in the market almost two years ago with a unique feature, so we did not look into any other products.
What other advice do I have?
My advice to others looking into using 1Kosmos BlockID is that it is a wonderful product for passwordless authentication. It is very easy to integrate with applications and you should not look for other products for passwordless authentication. I have covered almost everything about 1Kosmos BlockID. I would rate this review a ten out of ten.
