    Logging into my work accounts is where Google Authenticator works best. Also, I had a personal account get hacked. I had an account created to book hotels, but someone was constantly resetting my password. To prevent further hacking attempts, I set up Google Authenticator. I do not believe it would be appropriate for banking accounts.

    The tool is really good for the enterprise having major exposure to public-facing web applications and this can be used to maintain the SSL Certificate Inventory and automated alerts can be set so that SSL Certificates can be renewed before the expiry. Organizations who don't have the visibility of the SSL Certificate deployed across various and then tool can be used to identify the certificates and inventory can be prepared. This tool must be handled by Information Security Team since the private key information is confidential in nature. This tool has the capability to extract the information from various cloud instances including Azure, GCP, and AWS. I will not recommend this tool for organizations that don't have many public-facing apps and for 8 to 10 apps this can be managed manually rather than purchasing this tool.

    Pros
    Google
    • One strength is in how it checks identity to stop unwanted people from getting access.
    • Another strength is in cutting down on the frustration of users for the authentication process.
    • With the pandemic and needing to work away from the office it also provided additional security in keeping our network/infrastructure safe.

    Cons
    Google
    • I once performed a factory reset of my smartphone which had Google Authenticator. I didn't have a backup for the device. When I restored my phone with the same google account, I was not able to restore the authenticator app settings. I had to add all the keys back into the app to use it. This is cumbersome, but I understand it is set up this way for security reasons.
    • I don't like the ease with which it lets you delete a key. If I accidentally delete a key, I am doomed to get my 2FA key reset, unless I still have the QR code saved somewhere.

    • False Positives Issues (Sometimes getting alerts for certificates that are already renewed).
    • Alerting Emails can be improved.
    • Audit Trail need to be improved.

    It's as easy as opening the app and what I need it for is there. I don't have to fumble with other accounts or getting something else to open it for me. I have all the access that I need for the use of the app within seconds and I can get access to the info that I need.

    Overall good product. The solution was able to meet our business case. It is not an expensive product as compared to other key vault solutions. Implementation is an easy and user-friendly console. We got the training on how to use the solution after it was deployed. It is widely used by many organizations. With this solution, we managed to create a centralized SSL Certificates Inventory and other details which were very difficult to extract using the manual search.

    I have found Google’s support to be hit or miss. There are times when they are very responsive, and I get my issue resolved quickly, and there are times where a response from them takes weeks. There is no in-between. But my support experience with this particular product is nonexistent because I have not had a problem with it yet. Hopefully, we do not have any problems with it either.

    Technical Support is good and available 24/7. Licensing Policy is also good and we have taken a yearly subscription model. Integration with Digi Cert is also possible. Secure Solution for management of SSL Certificates Life Cycle. We have not faced any issue with the deployment of the product and not many bugs in the products except some false positives and false negatives ratios.

    First, Google Authenticator meets the security requirements which should be considered "table stakes". Second, simplicity is critical. Many users don' understand why they are setting up MFA (or they just don't care), and so adding additional complications to their day-to-day is always challenging. When it is simple, it makes life a lot easier. Finally, trust (due to the brand name recognition, primarily) removes any notion of "what is this?" that the user may have from being required to install something on their personal device for work purposes.

    Return on Investment
    Google
    • More secure data = less worried about a data breach.
    • Takes longer to log in, and if I don't have my phone then I have to go looking for it, so it really makes it so that you can't be without your phone, which in certain instances is annoying or not possible and can hold up work time.
    • Everyone is willing to use the same program because everyone likes Google—makes it easier to manage.
