User Testimonials
	Azure Multi-Factor Authentication (Discontinued)	GateKeeper Proximity
Likelihood to Recommend	Microsoft If your solution falls within their standard use case or you have Office 365 - then it makes total sense. If you need a lot of customization or have a really specific business process that causes you to deviate from the standard flow it usually makes more sense to create a custom solution Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	GateKeeper Proximity The best uses that we have found for GateKeeper have been for medical offices. We have a customer that uses mobile workstations when doing patient workups, and this has enabled them to step away from the station, evaluate the patient, and then go back to their mobile workstation without having to log in via password since they were within a set range the PC didn't lock. If they had walked more than 5 ft from their workstation, it would lock by Gatekeeper Proximity so the private data on the PC would not be at risk.

Support Rating	Microsoft No answers on this topic	GateKeeper Proximity They always answer the phone and someone is available to help. Emails are answered immediately. MN Mark Natale IT Director Read full review
Alternatives Considered	Microsoft Honestly, they are very similar as is much of their offerings. It really comes down to which ecosystem are you already invested in? It doesn't make a lot of sense to try and interop with every cloud vendor - pick one and use them. While there used to be substantial differences in the cloud platforms, they are at basic parity now Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	GateKeeper Proximity By far the most reasonably priced solution. The customer support is top-notch. MN Mark Natale IT Director Read full review
Return on Investment	Microsoft Overall, it's a really good value compared to building a custom solution that you have to maintain Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	GateKeeper Proximity Although the number seems small at first, minutes saved per day not having to log in / having proximity unlock add up over time. Each user's gatekeeper pays for itself over the year just by shaving a few minutes of time off logins each day. Training time with end users generally takes 15 minutes or less.
