Keyfactor Command vs. Yubico YubiKeys

Great for securing admin accounts, VPN access, and anything exposed to phishing. They’re especially useful in environments pushing toward passwordless auth methods. Less ideal for very large rollouts without solid user training, or for legacy apps that don’t support modern auth, as they can add a bit of friction there.

• The durability and reliability of the Yubico YubiKeys is unmatched, making me feel safe to carry it with me on a keychain and have it accessible.
• I'm confident in the hardware security of the Yubico YubiKeys, knowing that the key material is well protected and that tampering with the key would leave obvious traces. This makes key revocation decisions intuitive.
• The ease of use of the Yubico YubiKeys for power users like myself is unmatched, and easy to train "less power" users on. The broad platform compatibility that Yubico was essential to is a huge driver here.

• Occasionally, once or twice it might happen that I would press the key, but it'll not detect that I pressed the key. So I'd have to press it again, but that's just occasionally, sometimes. So maybe even if the key was a little bit bigger and I've detected that, I would've pressed it. But apart from that, I think it's pretty good.

As for implementing YubiKey its simple so I don't see us using anything else as we have experienced no issues so fare. Adding these to our environment is still new for us currently but in the transition phase I only see us buying YubiKey. It is highly rated and well known and cost is reasonable so no need to find another solution.

I give slightly better than average rating because of the complexity in using a Yubikey. It is not as easy as native push notifications for 2FA products, however, it provides much better strength. Rating this higher or lower would be a disservice to people reading this review. If you are in the market for a hardware 2FA tool, Yubikey will be a great asset in your toolbox.

We have not experienced any issues with availability which is very important when you are dealing with a company that holds the keys to the gate. We have had more issues with availability from our SaaS providers before with authentication but that was on their end. YubiKey has worked every time for us over the course of the last 6 or so months we began testing phase.

We have not seen any lag in loading pages and getting into systems or sites. In comparison to other 2FA and MFA options it is actually faster most of the time to authenticate due to not having to type in. We require users to have long passwords and when there is an option given for password less they jump on it with excitement. As we explore going password less on their PC's the YubiKey is going to make their lives a lot easier to access the resources they need.

We have only interacted with support once but it was quick and easily answered. Mostly just questions regarding adding this to certain apps.

I figured it all out on my own with the excellent product documentation provided by Yubico. I even managed to produce a backup YubiKey in case I lost my frequently used one. This was crucial when I temporarily lost the original.

Yubico YubiKeys has been a leader in the security key market, and I think they have a new product we just read about two days back and they can store up to a hundred private keys now. So I think this is what it distinguishes them from the market, apart from this, whatever features we need personally and for our customers. So they provide all those features, but versus the other brands.

For us I feel like the ease of deployment has made this product very appealing, overall this will make the scalability very easy for us to push out once we roll out to our users and the management tools that we have looked at will make the admins like me happy as it is clear and easy to use. The rollout process looks to be very straight forward from the demos that we have looked at regarding the enterprise tools.

• With Yubico YubiKeys, we no longer worry about unauthorized access to business data/resources, which saves us money and protects our business reputation.
• Fast authentication using MFA and tap-and-go passwordless features ensures a better user experience and fast access.
• Since we have a hybrid workforce, Yubico YubiKeys make it possible to secure our remote work.
