We have not done any evaluations with other providers based on how Yubico supports the product.
Chose Yubico YubiKeys
We used to use something from Okta that has I think a passwordless authentication or readily get a notification that's an alternative, but it's software, not hardware. That's the other thing I would say. We have tried nothing else on the hardware side. Its hardware token, ease …
Chose Yubico YubiKeys
I don't think I've used anything else.
Chose Yubico YubiKeys
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 …
Chose Yubico YubiKeys
We actually were approach it to try it on and then we fell in love
Chose Yubico YubiKeys
If you compare it to authenticator apps, I'd say it's much more easy to set this up for the individual user. Well, it's Swedish. It's also very well documented. There are a lot of guides on how to use them and I have a lot of faith in the security posture of Yubico and how the …
Chose Yubico YubiKeys
I've never really used any other physical keys, I mean I've used multifactor authentication from Google Authenticator or Duo, but never another physical key, so this is my first experience with that.
Chose Yubico YubiKeys
I have used the tokens that display a little six-digit code that rotates, but I feel that's just like my phone does that, so why would I have a separate device for that? This at least provides a physical thing I have to either insert or tap to use. I think they're not …
Chose Yubico YubiKeys
I have tested the Google Titan Keys. I found Yubico YubiKeys to be a bit more durable and last longer. I've already had a few Google Titan Keys that have just gone out. They just stopped working. So the Yubico YubiKeys are a bit more lightweight and easier to fit on a key ring. …
Chose Yubico YubiKeys
I prefer Yubico YubiKeys because sometimes logging in with pass keys on an iPhone you have to do kind of two handshakes. One is the QR code and then doing a face ID. So that's an extra step versus the Yubico YubiKeys, which I can just put in and scan with my finger.
Chose Yubico YubiKeys
It's annoying to type in a OTP from an RSA token. Being able to simply touch the YubiKey is better.
Chose Yubico YubiKeys
Yubico YubiKeys seem more convenient. cryptocard might be slightly more secure because a pin or challenge is needed on each access.

Yucky 2 factor authorization was easier to use
Chose Yubico YubiKeys

Don't need to use personal devices
Chose Yubico YubiKeys
They offer ways to store passwords or MFA support, but most need a root password. In addition, LastPass and 1Password do not have much support for MFA. This results in a lack of MFA support. For Okta, although it offers MFA and SSO, the OTP can be very annoying to have as I do …
Chose Yubico YubiKeys
Yubico YubiKeys is slightly different than Duo but I do like that it's quick and easy. Our users like that they don't have to use personal phones.
Chose Yubico YubiKeys
Better solution and easy of use
Chose Yubico YubiKeys
Different products. Hard to compare. I use both.
Chose Yubico YubiKeys
When using HOTP Duo MFA fobs, the YubiKeys are much better because they are lighter weight, more durable, and easy to take everywhere.
Chose Yubico YubiKeys
Yubico YubiKeys make login seamless for our users compared to having to sync auth tokens between phones.

The risk of interception or manipulation by hackers is reduced. It manages to be combined with other means of authentication, they allow the developer's software to be completed with the AMF software. The application tests the user's rights and links him to its services and data. The authentication of the interested party is one of the many keys to this process.

When I used it as an engineer for a software company a few years ago, I would be able to continue doing work on the train ride into and out of the office. So that was an extra hour, two hours a day that I was able to access our systems and still be able to continue to work. So that was a lot of fun. Well, I don't know if stay fun, but it was nice to be able to have the access, not have to be connected directly to the corporate network.

Pros
  • It is recommended to introduce authentication software using a phased approach.
  • This authentication software can also be used via the risk-based authentication approach.
Read full review
  • 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.

Cons
  • This mechanism certainly allows to protect a work site, but it can be expensive from an application point of view.
  • It is unavoidable to precisely verify the user at the launch of the workstation and/or at the connection to its application using the measures of the security policy and also to show that the authentication procedure is correctly applied.

  • It can be about access control because either right now it's just you have access or you don't have access. I think there can be a use case where you are allowed a particular set of servers and not a particular set of servers. I think maybe it's there or we don't use it, but I haven't seen that. I think I've used Yubico YubiKeys at two companies and I haven't seen that. Maybe that's something that can be added.

As for implementing YubiKey its simple so I don't see us using anything else as we have experienced no issues so fare. Adding these to our environment is still new for us currently but in the transition phase I only see us buying YubiKey. It is highly rated and well known and cost is reasonable so no need to find another solution.

Usability
No answers on this topic
I give slightly better than average rating because of the complexity in using a Yubikey. It is not as easy as native push notifications for 2FA products, however, it provides much better strength. Rating this higher or lower would be a disservice to people reading this review. If you are in the market for a hardware 2FA tool, Yubikey will be a great asset in your toolbox.

Reliability and Availability
No answers on this topic
We have not experienced any issues with availability which is very important when you are dealing with a company that holds the keys to the gate. We have had more issues with availability from our SaaS providers before with authentication but that was on their end. YubiKey has worked every time for us over the course of the last 6 or so months we began testing phase.

Performance
No answers on this topic
We have not seen any lag in loading pages and getting into systems or sites. In comparison to other 2FA and MFA options it is actually faster most of the time to authenticate due to not having to type in. We require users to have long passwords and when there is an option given for password less they jump on it with excitement. As we explore going password less on their PC's the YubiKey is going to make their lives a lot easier to access the resources they need.

I figured it all out on my own with the excellent product documentation provided by Yubico. I even managed to produce a backup YubiKey in case I lost my frequently used one. This was crucial when I temporarily lost the original.

We used to use something from Okta that has I think a passwordless authentication or readily get a notification that's an alternative, but it's software, not hardware. That's the other thing I would say. We have tried nothing else on the hardware side. Its hardware token, ease of use, easy integration, more reliance on an external device like a phone or something. If your phone gets lost, then you are worried about your multifactor, no problems with this device.

Scalability
No answers on this topic
For us I feel like the ease of deployment has made this product very appealing, overall this will make the scalability very easy for us to push out once we roll out to our users and the management tools that we have looked at will make the admins like me happy as it is clear and easy to use. The rollout process looks to be very straight forward from the demos that we have looked at regarding the enterprise tools.

Return on Investment
  • Consequently, with an OTP system, the user has an expert forecaster who provides him with a password upon request.
  • This password is valid for a limited duration, and for a single use.
Read full review
  • I think it's the flexibility in being able to let users pick the type of authentications that they want to use. Some are comfortable with the touch device on the physical Yubico YubiKeys. Others prefer the mobile app. So it provides flexibility for our users to choose how they want to authenticate without running a file of our security requirements.
