Overall Satisfaction with DigitalPersona

Digital Persona is being used by employees here to log in to our fingerprint machine. Not only is it being used here at the Department of Public Safety, but all of our jails use it when we install new fingerprint machines around the whole state. All of the correctional officers use it to log in to their account before fingerprinting prisoners. Using the Altus Digital Persona for these jails has made it to where an individual cannot stay logged in for another person. It also makes it faster to get to fingerprinting people and everyone has loved it so far at the jails.
  • Faster logins. When getting the setup up, after placing your finger down, the login is extremely fast.
  • More security. No sharing passwords, you must login with your fingerprint.
  • Easy setup. Setting users up was very easy to get down. Also teaching others to set people up was pretty simple as well.
  • It recognizes prints extremely fast. I have set up multiple users with various fingerprint quality and it has not had a problem yet.
  • Some programs you seem to have to select a user name and then use your fingerprint. If you could just use your fingerprint when the program window opens and it finds the user automatically, that would be great.
  • More accurate logins. We need the correct people logged in when printing.
  • Fastest logins means jails printing people more often.
This is my first DigitalPersona product that I have used.
The only application that we're protecting with DigitalPersona is our fingerprinting livescan program from Crossmatch. These are all being included with the machines that we are shipping to around 20 jails in Alaska.
High security computer programs benefit from DigitalPersona a lot. Anything you wouldn't want others to get into just by finding a password.

I don't know of a scenario where it would be less appropriate, since I would rather use this than logging in with my password every time.
