Product Research Note: Quest One Identity Manager 5 - 70133 01.12.2011 Martin Kuppinger €195.00
In 2010, Quest Software acquired the German software vendor Völcker Informatik AG, based in Berlin. Völcker had established itself in recent years as a provider of technically innovative solutions and a vendor to be reckoned with in the field of Identity and Access Management (IAM). In the process, the company has become highly visible in the German-speaking market and has succeeded in creating a substantial customer base including many large and well-known corporations, particularly in the German-speaking market. However, Völcker has no longer been a niche player, but instead enjoyed a solid reputation as an established vendor in the IAM market space. The product which has been renamed Quest One Identity Manager – formerly known name as  ActiveEntry – is a core piece of Quest’s IAM offerings now, called Quest One. In contrast to Völcker, Quest has the marketing and sales reach to address customers worldwide. Thus Quest One Identity...

Product Report: Quest Defender 20.09.2010 Martin Kuppinger €95.00
Quest Defender is an authentication platform solution that, unlike others in the market, offers true two-factor authentication supporting a wide range of tokens, thus providing strong authentication for a wide range of devices along with simplified token distribution. A special feature, though hardly surprising coming from Quest, is the deep integration it provides with Active Directory, Microsoft’s near-ubiquitous directory service. Identities, roles and policies are administered within Active Directory itself, thus enabling users to hitch on to existing AD infrastructures and transforming them into a foundation for strong authentication. Integration with other systems is also possible, either in the form of strong authentication solutions already in place or by transmitting requests to other directory services. We are impressed by Quest Defender’s ability to integrate flexibly with legacy systems as well as applications and existing partial solutions for strong...

Product Report: Quest Defender 16.08.2010 Martin Kuppinger €95.00
Der Quest Defender ist eine Lösung im wachsenden Markt für flexible Authentifizierungsplattformen. Im Gegensatz zu anderen Lösungen setzt der Quest Defender konsequent auf eine Zwei-Faktor-Authentifizierung. Dabei werden sehr viele unterschiedliche Tokens unterstützt, so dass es dennoch eine große Bandbreite für die Authentifizierung gibt – sowohl im Hinblick auf die Unterstützung von Endgeräten als auch die Authentifizierungsstärke und die erforderliche Logistik für die Verteilung von Tokens. Eine Besonderheit des Produkts, die aber bei Quest nicht überraschend ist, ist die enge Active Directory-Integration. Die Identitäten, Rollen und Richtlinien werden im Active Directory gespeichert. Damit können bestehende Active Directory-Infrastrukturen, wie sie sich in den meisten Unternehmen finden, einfach als Basis für die starke Authentifizierung verwendet werden. Gleichzeitig wird aber die Integration mit...

Product Report: Quest Single Sign-On solutions for SAP 09.11.2009 Martin Kuppinger €95.00
The two products discussed here, Quest Single Sign-On for SAP GUI and ABAP and Quest Single Sign-On for NetWeaver, are Quest’s offering in the market for Single Sign-On (SSO) between Active Directory-infrastructures and SAP-environments on the basis of Kerberos. Quest also offers a „classic“ SSO solution called Quest Enterprise Single Sign-On as an option for infrastructures which do not run Kerberos. Authenticating primarily via Active Directory which is standard in many companies brings some big advantages. In addition, all necessary information is consolidated within Active Directory. Other operating systems such as Unix, Linux or Apple can be integrated easily by using Quest’s standard SSO solution. The solution offers true Single Sign-On at the system level. Both products are certified for SAP and support additional functions such as data encryption over SNC (Secure Network Communications). KCP ranks both products rank among the most effective...

Product Report: Quest Single Sign-On solutions for SAP 07.10.2009 Martin Kuppinger €95.00
Mit den beiden Produkten Quest Single Sign-On for SAP GUI and ABAP und Quest Single Sign-On for NetWeaver bietet Quest eine marktführende Lösung für das Single Sign-On zwischen Active Directory-Infrastrukturen und SAP-Umgebungen auf Basis von Kerberos an. Als Option für Infrastrukturen, in denen man keine Kerberos-basierende Lösung einsetzen möchte, gibt es zudem noch Quest Enterprise Single Sign-On, eine klassische Enterprise Single Sign-On-Lösung. Der Vorteil ist, dass dabei die primäre Authentifizierung über das Active Directory, die in sehr vielen Umgebungen Standard ist, genutzt wird. Zudem werden auch alle erforderlichen Informationen im Active Directory konsolidiert. Weitere Plattformen wie Unix, Linux und der Apple Macintosh lassen sich über ergänzende Single Sign-On-Lösungen von Quest in dieses Konzept integrieren. Es wird mit einem echten Single Sign-On auf Systemebene gearbeitet. Die Produkte sind für SAP...

Product Report: Quest ActiveRoles Server 16.07.2009 Martin Kuppinger €95.00
Quest’s ActiveRoles Server belongs to the category of Enterprise Provisioning products, but it is not a typical standard-issue provisioning solution. Instead, it is a tool for role-based administration of both Active Directory and a growing number of other system environments. As is to be expected, its greatest strengths are in management of Active Directory environments, where its functionality extends significantly beyond just simple provisioning. On the other hand, Quest has been systematically augmenting and improving the product’s existing provisioning functions over the years and through various releases cycles. The result is a powerful solution for Identity & Access Management (IAM) that extends far beyond Active Directory. It can be best applied in environments where Active Directory is employed or in which Active Directory plays a major role. It fully addresses the special requirements of typical Active Directory environments, as well as cases where an...

Product Report: Quest ActiveRoles Server 01.05.2009 Martin Kuppinger €95.00
Der Quest ActiveRoles Server ist der Produktkategorie Enterprise Provisioning zuzuordnen. Das Produkt ist dabei keine typische Provisioning-Lösung, sondern im Kern ein Werkzeug für die rollenbasierte Verwaltung von Active Directory-Umgebungen, das inzwischen auch eine zunehmende Zahl von anderen Systemumgebungen unterstützt. Entsprechend liegen die spezifischen Stärken des Produkts auch beim Management von Active Directory-Umgebungen, wo es in der Funktionalität signifikant über typische Provisioning-Produkte hinausgeht. Auf der anderen Seite hat Quest die Funktionalität im Bereich des Provisionings über die vergangenen Jahre und Releases hinweg deutlich ausgebaut und damit eine leistungsfähige Lösung für das Identity und Access Management (IAM) auch über das Active Directory hinaus geschaffen. Der Einsatzbereich liegt also in jedem Fall in Umgebungen, in denen es ein Active Directory gibt und bei denen das Active...
