opConfig vs. Userify

opConfig provides a thorough automation solution that covers everything from pushing configurations to alerting users about changes and ensuring adherence to industry regulations. By facilitating operational delegation within your business, you can empower your team to troubleshoot network devices effectively while still preserving tight control by avoiding the provision of 'root' access. Our platform supports the implementation of various compliance standards such as PCI-DSS, HIPAA, and COBIT, allowing users to either utilize existing industry-standard rule sets like Cisco-NSA or develop personalized rules that fit specific requirements. It adeptly gathers and secures configuration data across diverse environments, compatible with a multitude of vendors' hardware and software, whether hosted in the cloud, on-premises, or in a hybrid setup. With opConfig, you can craft powerful command sets designed to assist in identifying the root causes of network problems. Our flexible software solutions can scale both horizontally and vertically, having already managed and monitored over 200,000 nodes effectively. You can also evaluate current configuration details against previous versions or different devices, ensuring that all configurations remain consistent. By employing compliance policies as a structured task checklist, you can reliably verify that all devices satisfy compliance standards while safeguarding security. Additionally, this method bolsters overall network integrity and promotes a sense of responsibility within your organization, ultimately leading to improved operational efficiency.

Efficiently oversee SSH keys for your team across diverse cloud platforms and global locations by leveraging tools such as Ansible, Chef, Puppet, Salt, CloudFormation, Terraform, or custom scripts. Userify operates smoothly across multiple cloud services that are widely distributed and can handle high-latency networks. It incorporates advanced security protocols, including Curve 25519 encryption and bcrypt hashing, ensuring adherence to PCI-DSS and HIPAA regulations. In addition, Userify has achieved AICPA SOC-2 Type 1 certification and is relied upon by over 3,500 organizations around the globe. The solution's passwordless SSH key login feature not only enhances security but also facilitates user convenience. Notably, it stands out as the only key management tool engineered to work effectively over the open Internet. Userify makes the removal of departing administrators incredibly straightforward, reducing the de-provisioning process to a single click. It also aids in fulfilling PCI-DSS Requirement 8, which is essential for protecting personally identifiable information (PII) while completely phasing out the default ec2-user account. Additionally, Userify supports compliance with the HIPAA Security Rule, thereby safeguarding essential healthcare systems and protected health information (PHI) by limiting internal access and control. This comprehensive approach ensures that organizations can maintain high security standards while efficiently managing their SSH key infrastructure.
