Why LendUp Used FoxpassLendUp Deploys Foxpass to Deliver Automated Access Control to Its Infrastructure.

The Challenge
LendUp was growing quickly and the IT team started to feel the pain of manually managing access to its infrastructure. They had to create user accounts, reset passwords and manage their own LDAP and RADIUS using a combination of legacy and open-source solutions. This took up valuable resources and time and created reliability and stability issues that IT had to troubleshoot on a regular basis. LendUp wanted to find a single solution that would help them scale, automate and simplify access management to their infrastructure while saving them valuable IT time.
The Solution
Josh Goffstein, Senior IT Engineer at LendUp, says, "We selected Foxpass because we were using internal resources to run LDAP and Radius, which was taking a lot of IT time and giving us reliability and stability issues. Now our server authentication is reliable and fast, saving my team tons of time."Foxpass enabled them to automate access control to their infrastructure; it now serves as a directory and authentication service.
Benefits
Reduced IT burden
Foxpass delivered an access control solution that automated user access and server provisioning. Today, adding users and managing access to their infrastructure is fast and easy.
Saved money
LendUp had two engineers dedicated to managing LDAP and RADIUS prior to Foxpass. This was expensive, time-consuming, and complicated to manage. Now, those valuable IT resources can focus on revenue-generating activities.
Improved uptime
Traditional legacy and open-source products are time-consuming to set up, complicated to manage, and difficult to integrate into a cloud solution. Foxpass delivers reliability and stability for IT teams in organizations of any size.
