Passlogix®, Inc., announced today that its v-GO® Access Accelerator Suite, an integrated set of single sign-on, authentication and provisioning enablement solutions, was named SC Magazine’s “Best Buy” in a group test of seven leading password management products published in the magazine’s August 1 edition. The suite is anchored by v-GO Single Sign-On, the industry’s #1 enterprise single sign-on (ESSO) platform, with complementary modules that extend password provisioning and management to scenarios ranging from superuser accounts to shared workstations and users outside the enterprise.
v-GO earned five-star rankings on all criteria evaluated, including features, ease of use, performance, documentation, support, value for money and overall rating. Editors specifically praised v-GO’s comprehensive feature set, flexibility, “straightforward” installation and availability of an installation wizard for each application, easy-to-use administrative consoles, client-side plug-and-play capabilities, and the ability to populate credentials through the leading identity management systems so that users never need to know their application passwords.

“In evaluating password management products, SC Magazine noted that you have to consider more than the core functionality of the solution. You also have to look at how well it integrates into the existing security infrastructure as well as the cost of deployment, cost of ownership, and ease of administration and provisioning,” said Passlogix CEO Marc Boroditsky. “v-GO’s top ranking demonstrates that we excel in these areas as well as in providing a comprehensive, robust platform for managing high-risk multiple-use passwords.”
The v-GO Access Accelerator Suite has been widely deployed around the world with more than 15 million licenses sold to help businesses conquer a variety of sign-on, authentication and provisioning challenges. Benefits of v-GO’s password management and related capabilities include improved productivity, strengthened enterprise security, creation of a user/access audit trail to facilitate regulatory compliance, and streamlined identity management deployments.
v-GO Single Sign-On, the cornerstone of the suite, enables end users to achieve fast and secure access to any Windows, mainframe or Web application with a single Windows logon, eliminating the need for users to remember and manage multiple IDs and passwords.
A companion solution, v-GO On Demand, extends single sign-on beyond the enterprise to remote, mobile and temporary users, including home computers, physicians’ offices that require access to hospital networks, and third-party partners or contractors.
Other v-GO solutions automate user sign-on and sign-off of kiosks at sites such as hospitals; enable strong authentication to applications, desktops and networks without expensive custom integration; securely manage shared account IDs such as those used by system administrators for privileged accounts; reconcile userIDs to expedite deployment of provisioning systems; and automate resets of Windows logon passwords.
The v-GO ® Access Accelerator Suite scales to tens of thousands of users, enables wizard-based integration that eliminates the need to write scripts or connectors even to homegrown or legacy applications, and installs on existing servers without adding dedicated or proprietary hardware. These features lower the total cost of ownership and allow organizations to receive rapid payback on their investment.
