Overall Satisfaction with RSA SecurID Suite

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
  • This has led to increased productivity
  • Helped with work life balance
  • Helps me to keep in touch when on the road and the ability to work effectively from hotel or other remote location
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.
