Their support is second to none. I wish other SaaS companies are as responsive and helpful as they are. When you have an issue with IT infrastructure, you don't want to wait around while your employees lose productivity. We've had their CEO reach out to us directly when there were issues. Also they have great documentation that explains how to integrate Foxpass into your infrastructure which helps a ton.
Also, you can't beat the value for what Foxpass offers. Their competitor, JumpCloud, is already 2x more expensive per seat. If you want to run your own servers, be prepared to spend a considerable amount of your personnel's time making sure everything is running smoothly, up-to-date, and secure. As a startup, we can basically get enterprise level IT infrastructure for fraction of the cost.
It's pretty obvious they don't have a professional UI/UX designer. Their UI and UX flow feels a little bit clunky and unpolished but is straightforward enough to not to get lost in the interface. Their RADIUS authentication is lightning fast but listing LDAP resources feels a bit slow.
If you're looking to sync Google Apps for Business, users will need to either disable 2FA or set up App Passwords to correctly authenticate with LDAP or RADIUS on Foxpass.
We're a startup company and don't have a dedicated IT department that can run and maintain LDAP and RADIUS servers full-time. Foxpass allows us to bring enterprise level IT infrastructure for fraction of the cost to run our own services with a full-time personnel.
Foxpass is rock solid, easy to use, has excellent support, and is a critical piece of our infrastructure.
There isn't much I dislike. If i have a problem, I reach out for support and get help instantly. I am confident in building more services on top of Foxpass.
One key aspect of Foxpass is how incredible their support is. If you run into a problem, you are going to get someone dedicated to helping you, which often involves them writing new software. They care deeply about their user experience.
We use Foxpass to create a link between Google domain and identity in other services. The most valuable piece for us is integrating Google-based identity with products that support LDAP or other identity technologies. It lets us leverage our Google domain as a single source of truth for identity. For example, our internal Wiki 's login system is backed by Foxpass, allowing automatic login for new users without having to create new accounts.
So easy. So little effort required. At previous companies I've wanted to perform acts of violence against AD servers for all the time (money), energy, and hair-pulling frustration they've induced. Using FoxPass has induced the opposite of those emotions.
Sometimes the setting up LDAP binders has been a bit fidgety. But I mostly blame LDAP for that, not FoxPass.
I wholeheartedly recommend Foxpass. If you are maintaining your own LDAP or AD server, you are probably wasting a ton of your IT staff's time that would be better served on other projects.
LDAP in the cloud. I don't need to run an LDAP or AD server myself. Substantially reduced effort/cost from IT personnel.
The fact that it integrates with G Suite, formerly Google Apps is the feature we tend to use and like most about it. We use G Suite as our main SSO and we’ve been happy ever since we signed up for Foxpass.
Only thing I think could be a bit better is the fact that it took a little bit for us to get the hang of using it, so I think the user friendliness could be improved a little but nothing that will get us to back away from the product.
FoxPass is very feature rich and there is a lot to do within the system itself. If you are looking for a SSO provider, FoxPass is definitely a good service to be using.
Seems much easier for us to manage users than some of the older services we have used in the past. Also takes away the need to have physical servers on-site.
Working with the Foxpass team on initial setup was a great experience. Once we had Foxpass in place, it's been one of the few systems that really are "set it and forget it".
As with any newer products or services, there are challenges that arise that can be unexpected. That being said, Aren and the Foxpass team have been extremely efficient with resolving any issues that we've encountered.
As we previously hosted our own instance of LDAP, not having to manage and administrate our own hardware/software has been beneficial to myself as this is a big piece of IT administration that can take up more time than most realize.
Ease of integration, use, and deployment. I'm able to add server authentication and bindto/onboard new services in a flash, while securing my wifi environment.
There has been little to no caveats with Foxpass. I was one of the early adopters and we've only ever had small, quick servicing issues and it was very early on (3 years ago). These issues were rare, and no longer populate. I have no nothing but appreciation for their level of service.
Do it, they are fantastic, and you can be up and running in a day if you wish.
We're all Cloud here at LendUp and having servers on site is not in our best interest for many reasons. Foxpass allows us to operate in the manner we wish to, with security.
I like that they truly provide an end to end solution for LDAP, radius, and a few other related services. We have been able to integrate them into both our core identity stack as well as integrating it into our network authentication as well.
There is very little to dislike since they have been very turnkey for us and added features when we've asked. If I have to pick one it's downtime, but to be fair there has been very little of it but it's the only thing I can nitpick about
We are solving for having an integrated identity stack that fits in well with our other SaaS and on-prem identity products.
We've been using Foxpass for over a year now to provide integration between our GSuite and VPN solution. Foxpass made it incredibly simple to enable our small team to move forward with a secure solution. The developers there are friendly, quick to respond, and were willing to go the extra mile to help get us up and running.
At the time we setup the integration they only offered Duo support for Two Factor Authentication, while it works great, it is a little pricey!
Exposing our GSuite user groups as LDAP groups for authentication into our VPN. Without an IT solution or a robust operations solution we were able to get up and going in a day.
The different directory integrations offered by Foxpass is what makes this an invaluable tool to link G Suite or Okta with your internal tools using LDAP or RADIUS to have a truly SSO experience.
I've been using Foxpass at two different companies and I haven't found any dislikes yet.
Using this with an IDP such as Okta will allow you to use automated workflows. Also, check out "sudo" functionality in LDAP posix users, no more editing the shudder's file on a linux system!
Centralized user management is a golden ticket to minimize risk at any organization and Foxpass is the key element to glue different systems together in a coherent way.
The clean and simple interface. The easy integration with AWS and various open-source tools.
There is not much I dislike about Foxpass.. the interface is mercifully clean and seems to be designed with administrators in mind. If anything, I would like Foxpass to expand it's offering to support SSO for various 3rd party sites without having to use another service like Okta (although that is really a different service than what Foxpass is aiming for).
We use Foxpass as an authentication for various services such as VPN and Hashicorp Vault. This allows developers to get the access they need in a fully self-service way without having to wait on the devops team.
FoxPass is an easy to use access control tool to keep your organization's accounts in check. I really like that it integrates with our Office365 as our primary directory service. That way we don't have to set up entirely new accounts just to configure access for things we already have. The LDAP interface is incredibly useful as well since it integrates with both our Linux Samba server and OpenVPN configuration. The 30 day trial is a great way to see if it works for your business needs.
Lately we have been having issues with stability, it seems as though recently the service has not been as reliable as it previously was. I definitely believe this is just an issue with a current patch or host issue and nothing that should reflect the overall product.
You may need to set aside time to talk with support to get all of the tiny mishaps ironed out. In general, though, it is an easy product to set up.
At our business, we have a LOT of accounts set up to access different controls throughout our infrastructure. Foxpass makes it easy for us to go from service to service and access our control systems with a few clicks with increased security, instead of relying on all users manually accessing systems. We have also seen a large decrease in phishing and other private information being stolen. I believe this is due to using a secure system.
Foxpass has greatly simplified our user management, and is quite easy to get setup on our hosts. We ran into some troubles early on, but their support team was extremely helpful!
The lack of audit logging available to ship logs where we need them. (We have heard it is coming shortly, though)
Read up a bit on LDAP, if you've never really used it. It's pretty easy, but if you've never directly used it, it might be confusing in a few ways.
Management of many users across many hosts. We were previously doing it "by hand", and this obviously was not working well for us. We now have it centralized and can save time, and improve our security at the same time.
I like the integration with another auth systems such as Okta for doing Delegated Authentication. Also we can rely all our auth to foxpass including SSH Keys, Radius, LDAP.
I would like to have better log filters
We are doing double delAuth for Wifi Radius authentication, our APs send the Radius request to Foxpass which send it to our Okta then to our LDAP. We will include soon more services to rely on foxpass auth mechanism
The Foxpass team have made a Software Service as a Service. Bridging the gap between all the modern saas directories and things like LDAP, Radius etc. Foxpass makes it easy to deploy things like 802.1x, LDAPaaS etc
The service is great, but understanding the nuances of some of the connections can be frustrating when legacy based services don't want to connect to SaaS based services.
Our first major project was rolling out 802.1x to all of our locations across self managed and third party managed networks (like wework)
Foxpass allowed us to set up our network quickly by having a hosted RADIUS server through their platform. We were able to get online within a few minutes. The price is great consider the easy to use UI as well as Foxpass handling all the maintenance.
Not much to dislike on this product but I wish there was an easier way to set up Meraki Client VPN without hosting it in our own infrastructure. I know this is more on the Meraki's configuration and set up.
Foxpass allowed us to implement WPA2 Enterprise in our organization. Foxpass also allowed us to use VPN through their service. This enhance our security compliance within the organization.
The product was easy to deploy and replaced us having any hardware on premise.
Not knowing about the product soon enough...I did not have any dislikes. It worked as promised and solved the internal issues that we needed for having a hosted RADIUS and LDAP server.
Try Foxpass on a single application where you need a hosted LDAP or RADIUS server while keeping your other applications on your premise server. See how easy it is to use and then move the others over gradually. If you're a startup then start with Foxpass from the beginning.
We needed to have an LDAP Server and RADIUS server for two other products that were required. Foxpass allowed us to have those features hosted without us having to purchase a server or rent space on a collocation. My IT team was able to do this fairly quickly with the Foxpass support team of Aren and his group. We were very happy with the ease of setup.
Super easy to setup machine ACLs, great support, easy to integrate into existing systems easily, makes it easy to add correct authentication, lots of implementation documentation, makes self-management quite easy.
UI could use a little improvement but overall it does it job and gets out of the way. Not a lot of things to keep in mind when working with it.
Access Control to Linux machines, limiting access to users, easy high level administration of access.
The ease of use to setup and maintain. Aren and his team are absolutely on top of issues when they occur.
As with all 3rd party applications, losing the ability to have 100% control can be frustrating to certain administrators.
We are solving the ever painful issue of hosting our own LDAP solution. The benefits of having Foxpass in the cloud has saved us time and energy.
Foxpass makes me feel better about our security. I like the self-service features that translate into less work for me. Great integration with AWS. Support has been great too.
There's nothing I really dislike. Maybe the web UI could be better.
No more sharing ssh keys, centralized user management.
Foxpass is the easiest way to manage user auth(n/z) on my AWS instances.
Adding users is a bit of a pain, each user has to sign up, then I can enable their account (as an engineering or posix user), then they can upload their ssh key. It's much more interactive than I'd like.
Foxpass hugely reduces user de/provisioning complexity.
We don't have to manage LDAP - no schema management, etc.
The flip side of any hosted solution is the limits of what you can do. Not really a dislike, just a trade off constraint of it being a hosted service.
Login management for LDAP enabled login applications in our internal infrastructure.
This fully hosted service just works. It ties in directly with our Google Apps domain and our Okta service, providing us entirely hands-off LDAP and Radius authentication globally.
Not much - I suppose it would be nice to see the system globally replicated with regional endpoints.
We were able to remove our home-grown LDAP solution and allow Google Apps to be our primary source of truth for all employee records. Simplified our HR and IT on-boarding processes, and removed another service from the list of things we have to run in-house.
I love how easy this was to set up and make adjustments. The logs are easy to read and have helped me to identify root causes quickly.
We have had a few outages prevent everyone in the company from accessing the internet, however, their status page updates informed me of the issue quickly and had details that I could pass on to anyone experiencing an issue.
We have connected Foxpass to our company directory and a Single Sign-on and it makes handing out access easy and secure.
Foxpass provides LDAP with zero infra management, a must have for every growing team!
Some of the documentation is a challenge, but there are many integration examples.
Management of users ongoing utilizing Google account sync. This is best left to non technical roles so it is a huge time saver.
Support is pretty amazing. We've been using it for 802.1x auth for wireless and just started to use that and MAC address authentication for port security. Pretty smooth!
I've only administrated it for the past 3 months and so far I haven't had any dislikes.
Security is pretty important here at our company. We needed a solution for our users to be able to individually authenticate to our wifi network. Foxpass provided that solution.
It's an inexpensive way to create VPN networks for a small to medium start up company. Many other larger VPN providers are very expensive and may not be needed for a growing company
It can be very difficult to set up if your network admin does not writing a clear instructions. Even with clear instruction it can still be difficult to set up. I had to help a few co-workers to get it working.
Our last VPN provider was too small for our growing company. Too many people were trying to log on at the same time and security was also an issue with our last provider. Foxpass gave us the next level solution for a medium size growing company
Foxpass is solid. It's our main user directory. Customer support and docs are fantastic.
Some features are hard to find. The free vpn ami for example.
Foxpass backs our Gitlab, Jenkins, ssh, and AWS VPNs.
Foxpass lets me securely, and most importantly, easily access my work materials without having to jump through any complicated loops. It's awesome for when I need to work while I'm away from the office.
Although Foxpass is incredibly easy to use, I did have some difficulty setting it up on my different devices. But this is ok, since you only have to do it once!
Use foxpass if you're looking for an easy way to get employees onboard for secure access to work! Perfect for a team that travels a lot.
We are solving the problem of being able to securely access materials for work. Foxpass allows us to do this easily.
Tones of integrations and documentation, really good customer support and open to hear our needs to help us to make grow our infrastructure securely.
Low level of company branding customization.
Web logs bigger than 1 day not in web, just through API.
The trial is free and with full functionality. Really clear documentation and easy to test all the capabilities.
Having a RADIUS server for Wi-Fi and VPN identification on the cloud without having to care about server maintenance.
Having a LDAP server for Wi-Fi and VPN identification on the cloud without having to care about server maintenance.
Delegate authentication to Okta.
Integration with Jamf as LDAP.
Foxpass has been an integral part of our company wide 802.1x rollout.
I have not had many issues with Foxpass. Sometimes the webpanel is a bit slow.
We used Foxpass for our company directory.
The clean and simple UI makes LDAP administration painless.
I haven't found anything to dislike about it.
It eliminates time spent maintaining our own LDAP servers, letting us focus on business needs.
It a secure process for employees to access company data while working remotely, or if the company has wifi open to guests. Easy to set up!
Field to enter login & password should specify Foxpass, I was initially confused if it was asking for my laptop admin info.
Keep your information safe by implementing Foxpass!
In a growing company information security is key. Our tech department starting using Foxpass to make sure everything is kept safe!
Foxpass allows us to be in full control of user management on multiple different platforms. It is easy and powerful.
I would like to see even smoother enrollments of new vms to foxpass. Ldap service not supported by all old equipment
delegating access to services, key managments
