Sectigo Certificate Manager vs. Yubico YubiKeys

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.

• 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.

• 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.

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.

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.

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.

We have only interacted with support once but it was quick and easily answered. Mostly just questions regarding adding this to certain apps.

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.

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.

• 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.
