Use Cases and Deployment Scope

RSA SecurID is being used by my associated department (Engineering) and to the best of my knowledge is used by the entire organization for the same purpose. It is used to be able to get a secure token to connect to a VPN client and access the private organizational network. Working in a FDA regulated healthcare facility, security and safety is of utmost importance. Only softwares approved by the organization through a validation procedure are used on office machines. RSA SecurID is one that is approved through the procedure and is working well for me. It is pretty easy to setup and use and haven't faced any particular problems with it.

Pros

  • UI is concise and simple. Required buttons are right in front and avoid any ambiguity. Surprised at how minimal of the screen space it uses.
  • Fast! Never had a problem in waiting for a pin number to be generated. Even has a copy button cause well more often than not you will be using that function.
  • From a security point of view each pin generated times out in 60 seconds, which is good in my opinion.
  • Setup was also pretty easy. As a software developer understanding new software is not a personal challenge. However from a unbiased perspective it is pretty straight forward for even people who are not as good with technology.

Cons

  • Maybe the token name displayed can be modified a little bit. Although it may not be done that often, hovering over it and waiting for it to appear is a minor nuance.`
  • Add an option of dynamically resizing the GUI. No major flaws come to mind.

Likelihood to Recommend

In a corporate setting I feel this is pretty useful. It's quick and easy to setup and does what its supposed to using as little effort from the user as possible. However there aren't any obvious links to how it works and what it does (through the software itself I mean) which might be more beneficial for someone in a small business setting without the resources and contacts to validate the workings of the software easily.

RSA Authentication Manager Review

Rating: 8 out of 10
Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

My organization uses this program to manage our two-factor authentication required for server access.

Pros

  • Management of RSA tokens is pretty user intuitive
  • Fast and reliable report building, useful for metrics and information

Cons

  • Managing the connections and software itself is a bit confusing
  • Profiles for trusted realms has still not been explained satisfactorily after reaching out to support multiple times to grasp this concept

Likelihood to Recommend

RSA Authentication Manager is well suited for use in two-factor authentication. Haven't really seen a viable competitor.
