Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Used for security purposes by providing multi-factor authentication for staff, vendors, and other contractors connecting to desktops/laptops, servers, web apps, etc. This has been especially important for our large amount of remote users and applications. It's easy to use and install. It's reliable and has worked every time. I've used it to manage accounts for large groups of various users.

Pros

  • Easy to configure MFA on desktop/laptop, servers, and web apps.
  • SecureID is accessible on a variety of devices/OSs.
  • GUI is clean and intuitive.

Cons

  • While the GUI is clean and easy to use, it does look very dated.
  • There is not an option for a temporary code to log in. It would be nice for situations where you are at a remote site but don't have your device (laptop, phone, etc.) with you, as well as other situations.

Most Important Features

  • Provides multi-factor authentication, thus increasing security.
  • Accessible on multiple operating systems.
  • Easy to manage and is reliable.
