Biometrics Solution Evaluation

We made the decision to purchase the solution after a close evaluation of this product. We are currently using the biometric devices for network authentication and to allow users to login to their applications/websites using their fingerprint scanning device. It allows the users to login and authenticate without having to type their user name and password. It's also used as a password manager tool in the environment. The software manager is very intuitive and user friendly. Enrolling the fingerprints is a very easy process.

The solution allowed us to serve as a Windows authentication mechanism for single sign-on and use with third-party apps such as thin client (web based) applications, thick client apps, cloud based apps, O365, and any other app that is compatible with this solution.

We have benefited from AD integration. The additional extension of the schema allows having a better control to unlock, reset, and clear credentials of the users. It's easy to use and it becomes available on all the domain controllers in the environment. It also allows users to have a centralized password manager to be able to update their system passwords from one location.

The product does not work well with custom based applications. We're using it for Office365, in-house applications and thin client (web-based apps). Some of these include thin client (web-based) applications, thick client apps, cloud based apps, and any other critical system application that could potentially have any non public information.

Azure AD has allowed us to integrate with the HID solution over the cloud for all users that authenticate to the network. The additional schema feature allows for management of the credentials and user profile from the cloud. It is very useful and easy to use.
