Overall Satisfaction with HID DigitalPersona

We were looking for a solution for additional Windows authentication to integrate directly with Active Directory. We found our solution with HID DigitalPersona. The integration with Active Directory works really well. Software upgrades are simple and the USB fingerprint readers have lasted years. I like that you can use a number of different factors for authentication such as password, fingerprint, PIN, one-time password.
  • Active Directory integration
  • Windows multi-factor authentication
  • Web browser password manager
  • Support at times has been difficult to work with.
  • Not compatible with all built-in laptop fingerprint readers.
  • Software interface is not bad but could use a refresh soon.
  • Employees save time by logging into Windows with biometrics instead of having to type a long password
  • Increased security by making it easy to lock/unlock workstations
  • Increased security for higher level employees by requiring MFA for their workstations.
We use HID DigitalPersona to speed up Windows authentication with biometics. Our users love logging into their workstations with just a fingerprint. In other cases, we can leverage the software to implement multi-factor authentication to Windows for users that need extra security. The web browser password manager is also well used.
We have integrated our HID DIgitalPersona software fully with Microsoft Active Directory. The integration works well and offers peace of mind that the fingerprint data is stored securely within Active Directory.
Windows authentication with Active Directory.
We have used HID DigitalPersona for over 8 years and have been so satisfied with the product that we just haven't even looked because we like the product that much.

Would you buy HID DigitalPersona again?

Yes

HID DigitalPersona is going to be great for any organization using Active Directory and Windows that is looking for additional authentication options. I believe that it also can integrate with Azure AD. It would not be suitable for an organization running Linux or MacOS as the software is not compatible with those platforms.
