Overall Satisfaction with Yubico YubiKeys

There are various use cases that we use Yubico YubiKeys for. All of our authentication to the Fido server is through Yubico YubiKeys, and we also use it for the VPN right now. A lot of my teammates are using it for the Linux authentication tool, and we also store digital certificates, so we use it for PKI. So there are a lot of use cases that we use Yubico YubiKeys for.
  • I think the best thing is it has a lot of capacity and it's very, very secure. It can store a lot of private keys versus all the other products. We have reviewed a few other products, but Yubico YubiKeys gives a lot more capabilities than some of the other security key brands.
  • I think the only thing that I feel is the capability to store more keys on it, and it's a bit expensive compared to the other security manufacturers. So if we really have to sell it to our customers, they're not very comfortable paying for the high price, but then you're paying for more features.
  • We are using Yubico YubiKeys for strong authentications for our personal use cases and for our customers, it makes our products more secure and the authentication very secure too.
Yubico YubiKeys gives you the capability to store digital certificates as well as private keys. So everything, it helps when phishing attacks and the DDOS too. So if you're using a digital certificate, you won't even see the main website. An attacker cannot even see the main website or the web application. So it helps in a lot of aspects.
We are using Yubico YubiKeys for the password net solution. So we are not using the multifactor authentications, so we are using storing the private key, like generating the private key and using that for authentication.
Yubico YubiKeys has been a leader in the security key market, and I think they have a new product we just read about two days back and they can store up to a hundred private keys now. So I think this is what it distinguishes them from the market, apart from this, whatever features we need personally and for our customers. So they provide all those features, but versus the other brands.

Do you think Yubico YubiKeys delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Are you happy with Yubico YubiKeys's feature set?

Yes

Did Yubico YubiKeys live up to sales and marketing promises?

Yes

Did implementation of Yubico YubiKeys go as expected?

I wasn't involved with the implementation phase

Would you buy Yubico YubiKeys again?

Yes

We've been using this for one of our products where the requirement is AL3 where you can only use the web certified security gear and it offers the highest level of security and authentication. So I think the key that Yubico YubiKeys is providing is the best for that use case. For less appropriate, I think right now, I mean with pass keys, the sync pass keys becoming a thing. I don't know how for a consumer market you become a person would not want to keep a security key. It depends on the level of security that you're looking for. So for a consumer market for probably my social medias, I won't use a security key. I probably sync it to the cloud.
