SecurID provides MFA with a reliable platform, easy to use interface, and simple deployment

Rating: 8 out of 10

April 6, 2022

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

Slow to provide updates to latest operating system versions.
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.

Likelihood to Recommend

Works well in a large organization with many employees and devices but may not work so well in smaller organizations due to alternatives that are cheaper and are already provided (such as Microsoft's Azure MFA). Using the soft token is easy and convenient. For a large environment, It has allowed us to have a single app used for authentication for all of our various users, and using the soft token is easy and convenient.

March 23, 2022

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

For our VPN tokens, we use RSA SecureID for authentication purposes. We have been using this product for as long as I can remember, definitely longer than the 6 years I have been using it at my current company. The software boots up extremely quickly, is secure, and works well for our over 5000+ employee workforce.

Pros

Identity management
VPN Tokens

Cons

Additional verification methods other than just PIN number would be nice

Likelihood to Recommend

For VPN purposes, SecurID works great. It boots up quickly, does not take much system resources, and keeps our users secure when establishing a connection to our server. It works well regardless of connection type, whether it's ethernet, home wifi, or public wifi (such as the ones used in the mega-hotels/resorts).

SecurID, quick and simple MFA

Rating: 7 out of 10

Incentivized

March 23, 2022

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

SecurID was our primary MFA tool for securing remote access to a number of internal resources. It provided a simple means to ensuring all required access could be secured with an extra layer of identity protection. All employees were setup with SecurID as part of their onboarding process.

Pros

Simple to set up
Simple to use

Cons

The UI was quite dated for the version we were using.
The ability to copy a code to paste into the required field was unreliable

Likelihood to Recommend

For an organization that needs a large volume of users to leverage MFA, on a relatively small set of resources, I think SecurID is a good tool choice. With minimal assistance, users can get set up and configured, and the tool works well enough for what it is needed for. If users were looking to need to perform MFA multiple times a day/hour, other tools with additional features might be a better choice.

Scalable and Secure 2FA solution manager

Rating: 9 out of 10

Incentivized

May 24, 2019

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We are using RSA Authentication Manager to manage 2FA (two-factor authentication) across the systems in multiple layers of the technology stack. We use it to ensure VPN security, application security and wifi security using both soft and hard tokens based on which use. For example, at our offshore premises where our security policies prevent people from bringing in smartphone inside the facility, those people are provided with hard tokens to support both onsite and remotely.

Pros

RSA Authentication Manager is easy to deploy and configure.
It is a scalable solution meant for a large enterprise.
Some of the key features of RSA Authentication Manager where it particularly does well are provisioning, mapping, and logging.
It has a very nice console with good administrative and troubleshooting options.
Reliable security for VPN, applications, and wifi.

Cons

The cloud-based 2FA needs improvement in terms of ease of management and performance.
There are some issues that have been reported by our team using MobilePASS authentication.

Likelihood to Recommend

RSA authentication manager is a one-point control over managing 2FA for VPN, application and wifi security. It is a highly scalable solution and works across the technology stack.

RSA SecurID - productively work from almost anywhere

Rating: 10 out of 10

Incentivized

July 13, 2018

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

The company I work for (and my previous employer) both use RSA SecurID to allow employees to log into work servers from remote locations while traveling or working from home. This is a great tool to allow better access and productivity while not in the office, but keeping corporate servers and information secure. In the past there was a "hard token" or a card that had a changin g pass code that was used to log into the servers while working remotely, in the past few years this has been changed to a "soft token" or a code embedded into the laptop that no longer requires the manual entry of a code.

Pros

RSA SecurID allows me to access network files from remote locations (hotels, other businesses, working from home). This allows me greater productivity and helps me with a work-life balance as I can work later at night or not get so backed up when I'm traveling.
RSA SecurID keeps information secure by limiting access to network files
RSA SecurID is easy to use with a soft token - one less item to carry around in my travel bag

Cons

The hard token worked, but it was one more thing to carry (and possibly lose) in my travel bag - plus another PIN # to remember

Likelihood to Recommend

This has been great for me in a corporate position with travel. I am often working on the road and many times at night need to respond to requests - and this way I can access my files on the network from anywhere where I can connect my computer to the internet. I enjoy the soft token aspect and not having to carry around a card/keychain.

Most reliable system I ever used!

Rating: 10 out of 10

June 27, 2018

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

To sign in to our local network and email accounts. Security is a must in our firm. The company is in constant development, hiring new employees and storing sensitive data. Our head attorneys and their executive assistants manage a lot of confidential information that needs to be protected. The perfect way to do it, in a time where passwords are not strong enough, is to use a SecureID.

Pros

Gives extra security in protecting the unauthorized access to our domain and email.
Helps the security administrators in policy enforcement. Even if a user password is weak the SecureID covers our companies back and let us focus on other threats that can harm our security.
Our customers feel that their information is well treated and secured rising our credibility and showing the level of commitment our company has in keeping data safe.

Cons

I've been a user for more than 18 years. Started with a little square like a pocket calculator, then a dongle, a smaller dongle, and the phone app. RSA is always improving so I'm pretty satisfied with the service.

Likelihood to Recommend

In my humble opinion, if you have to protect your local network from intruders and most of your users are not computer savvy it is a must!

June 25, 2018

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I currently use SecurID to access National Grid's web portal.

It is currently only my department; mainly me, who uses the SecurID.

SecurID addresses security issues, and provides an extra measure of security for the portal.

Pros

It is simple to use, and quick. Each user is assigned a 4-digit pin that goes before the sequence of numbers that changes frequently.
The life span of securID's battery is very long. in the 3 years that i have been using my fob, i have had no issues at all.
I have never had to contact any IT/help desk for any issues.

Cons

Have not had any difficulties with this... I have no feedback, fortunately

Likelihood to Recommend

In a tight, online security setting. web portals, etc.

RSA SecurID is a great advanced authentication for meeting compliance.

Rating: 8 out of 10

Incentivized

June 11, 2018

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

For compliance reasons we are required to use advanced authentication to protect some assets we have in our network. We use SecurID as our advanced authentication solution. Users, when needing to access these protected areas of the network must use their advanced authentication, RSA SecurID, to authenticate to the protected network.

Pros

Identity Verification
Ease of use
Self Service Console for end users

Cons

Upgrade process
Support of biometrics
Support for smart cards

Likelihood to Recommend

If you have a compliance requirement for advanced authentication RSA SecurID is a great fit for your organization. If you are looking for a single sign-on solution you'll want to look at something else. RSA SecurID is well suited to verify that the user is who they say they are when they are accessing areas of your network.
