"It (Password Station) frees up time for me to work on other projects. And my wife wasn't liking those 2 a.m. calls either." - Jeff Bair, Senior LAN Administrator, American Color Graphics Inc. (from Reporter's Notebook: IT Security, by Mitch Betts, COMPUTERWORLD, June 15, 2002)

"Before using Password Bouncer, we could crack almost 100% of my 5,000 user's passwords in fewer than 2 hours using password cracking software. Now that Password Bouncer is installed, it takes us three days solid to crack 12% of passwords." - Senior Network Administrator, $6 Billion Chicago Based Insurance Holding Company

"In the past, Chevron's business units have had control over their own NT User IDs. Moving to an enterprise network solution meant that we either had to centralize control of User IDs or we had to give every business unit access to every User ID in the enterprise. Neither approach was very attractive."

"We deployed TEM to allow us to grant granular levels of authority. Every group can now control their own User IDs without worrying about other groups having access," continued James. "In addition, running User Manager over slow WAN links was unbearable. With 10,000 users, it would take an administrator several minutes to open User Manager and several minutes for screen refreshes after each change. TEM only displays groups under the administrator's control, so start and refresh time is seconds rather than minutes." - James Weider, Network Software Engineer, ChevronTexaco Corporation

“Windows NT gave us two options, we could either assign users full administrative control or none. Initially, we limited user rights to maintain security. Unfortunately, the support ramifications were tremendous—each time a user wanted to change their password, they called the support staff. Support calls from users skyrocketed to 15 calls per day. Half of my day was consumed by minor administration requests and I wasn’t able to address the real user problems.” - Jose Alvarez, Systems Support Manager, The News Journal, Gannett Co.
