Pros

“It provides the strict security our organization needs without acting as a bottleneck when I need to quickly jump between Jira tickets, code repositories, and different test environments to verify a bug.”
SA

Sigit A.

Quality Assurance Engineer

“Handling or bypassing MFA for service accounts or automated test runs (like Python scripts interacting with secure APIs) often requires complex workarounds or constant back-and-forth with the admin team.”
SA

Sigit A.

Quality Assurance Engineer

“A highly customisable, user interface rich single sign on platform which helps staff to manage all passwords and authentication methods to many SaaS applications through one secure pain of glass.”
RK

Raul K.

Group Director of Technology

Pros

“I would recommend Admin by Request to anyone looking to streamline privilege management as this software has really checked all the boxes in terms of security, convenience, and auditing capabilities”
MS

Mason S.

Lead IT Systems Engineer

“We have the ability now to approve requests for app installs remotely or to give administrator sessions if someone from the IT team is providing support on the device”
DM

Dane M.

Head of ICT

“The process to purchase Admin by Request took a bit more time and effort than I would have hoped.”
MS

Mason S.

Lead IT Systems Engineer

Cons

“What I liked least is that it can feel a bit clunky at times, especially when something doesn’t sync right and you get locked out.”
MV

Manuel V.

POD Coordinator

“On the downside, Okta can feel complex to configure at first, especially for advanced policies and custom workflows.”
AB

Altay B.

Athlete

“Additionally, troubleshooting issues can sometimes be time-consuming, particularly when dealing with authentication errors or integration mismatches.”

Manager

Cons

“On rare occasions, it doesn't work as expected and I must uninstall it, log in as admin, install software, then reinstall AdminByRequest.”
JE

James E.

IT Manager

“The mobile app while useful seems to be buggy and sometimes an afterthought.”
MH

Michael H.

IT Helpdesk Technician

“Some programs are difficult to pre-approve, so you get interrupted with a request for approval.”
