Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The solution is stable. We haven't experienced any bugs or glitches.""The mobile biometric authentication option improved user experience. It's always about security because, with two-factor authentication, it's always a separate device verifying the actual user logging in.""The soundness of the solution is its most valuable feature. For example, if you are in our corporate network, you can log on without any traffic interfering.""It's pretty stable as a product.""It gets a mobility portal in place in conjunction with Office 365. It provides very good possibilities and it's much better than other technology that we have used before which was unstable and slower.""We use the product to run different reports.""The solution has a smooth and configurable user interface for single sign-on capabilities.""I find the auto-discovery feature the most valuable. It helps us automate a lot of things using a single password across applications."

"The solution is simple to use and we have installed it in our clients' endpoints. The tool is just plug-and-play for the end user. The end user can just put in the key to the security computer and log in without any hassle. The solution is efficient, user-friendly, and easy to use.""It's small and lightweight. Like a phone, it doesn't run out of battery. It also doesn't have to be unlocked. It doesn't break. Moreover, they're very durable and it's very convenient.""The most valuable feature of Yubico YubiKey is security.""YubiKey is a hardware security device with advanced security features."

Cons
"PingID would benefit from a better user interface for integration.""They could use some bio-certification. It's just more user-friendly and more convenient than entering the one time passes. That would be an improvement.""The solution should allow for better integration with other platforms and the UBT.""The product is not customizable.""If the solution is going to compete with Microsoft, they need to offer more unique functionality to keep their current user base.""PingID classifies the type of environment into internal and external, which is an area for improvement because you need to take additional steps to trust internal and external users.""It has a long way to go until it is a cloud-based solution.""PingID should put a little more effort into making a pretty self-explanatory deck about their tech features and the services they offer."

More PingID Cons →

"It would be better if the product can come up with a serial number for the keys. It would be nice if they had a numbering system as a configuration identity that would help the IT and technical teams to identify the keys because they look all the same. It would be more like putting a tag on them.""Yubico YubiKey is inconvient. No one likes the idea of having to put a USB device into the system, having to remember to take it out, and having passwords. It may be very good for security but it is not great for people to use.""It's a hardware device, so it isn't cost-effective to use for all your accounts. You might have a hard time getting budget approval. It's better to take a strategic approach and use it only for critical accounts. You can use other forms of authentication for the rest.""Currently, an area where the product lacks is in addressing service needs."
