Useful solution for beefing up security posture

Integrating DigitalPersona

We have been able to randomize most of our users' AD passwords so that they are more secure. Most users now authenticate using only their fingerprint.
Right now, only Windows authentication and 3rd party website logins.
  • We have not done any integrations. We only use DP to authenticate to 3rd party websites.
  • We have done as much integration as we plan on doing for right now.
None of the above
None, we do not have any integrations.

Overall Satisfaction with DigitalPersona

All users authenticate to Windows using biometric fingerprint readers. We also use password manager through the Altus console to authenticate to 3rd party websites. We have over 120 3rd party logins that we manage, so this solution saves us time logging in to 3rd party websites and applications, and also gives us a secure way to store passwords.
  • Windows authentication
  • Password management
  • multifactor authentication
  • We have issues with fingerprint misreads with our users who do not have as defined of a fingerprint
  • We also have issues with the Agent not loading in Internet Explorer consistently on some workstations.
We have struggled to get it working with VPN due to the fact that VPN is mostly used on laptops. Getting the built in fingerprint reader on laptops to work with DP is shaky at best.
  • Positive impact is for the users for which the solution works they love it and it saves them time.
  • We don't have any benchmarks, but, anecdotally, users report that the solution saves them time logging into websites and frustration with managing passwords.
DigitaPersona, as a password manager, is a more robust and stable tool than Dashlane.
When it works properly, I would recommend to anyone. The reason I'm rating a 6 is we have some users who don't like the solution at all because of the issues I described previously.
