SecurID Reviews and Ratings

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Used for security purposes by providing multi-factor authentication for staff, vendors, and other contractors connecting to desktops/laptops, servers, web apps, etc. This has been especially important for our large amount of remote users and applications. It's easy to use and install. It's reliable and has worked every time. I've used it to manage accounts for large groups of various users.

Likelihood to Recommend

Works well in a large organization with many employees and devices but may not work so well in smaller organizations due to alternatives that are cheaper and are already provided (such as Microsoft's Azure MFA). Using the soft token is easy and convenient. For a large environment, It has allowed us to have a single app used for authentication for all of our various users, and using the soft token is easy and convenient.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

SecuriID is used for external access to our company network. It enables multi-factor authentication and helps to secure the access. SecurID is preventing illegal access to the organization internal network and applications. SecurID address the need of adding a critical layer of protection since there are a high number of employees accessing network externally.

Likelihood to Recommend

SecurID is well suited for Employees to connect remotely and work from any location. After installation, end customers may simply use it for email or VPN connections. It is indicated for companies who have a high percentage of its employees accessing the network externally. It may not be indicated for companies who just need to provide access to e-mails or basic stuff to the employees.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

For our VPN tokens, we use RSA SecureID for authentication purposes. We have been using this product for as long as I can remember, definitely longer than the 6 years I have been using it at my current company. The software boots up extremely quickly, is secure, and works well for our over 5000+ employee workforce.

Likelihood to Recommend

For VPN purposes, SecurID works great. It boots up quickly, does not take much system resources, and keeps our users secure when establishing a connection to our server. It works well regardless of connection type, whether it's ethernet, home wifi, or public wifi (such as the ones used in the mega-hotels/resorts).

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

SecurID was our primary MFA tool for securing remote access to a number of internal resources. It provided a simple means to ensuring all required access could be secured with an extra layer of identity protection. All employees were setup with SecurID as part of their onboarding process.

Likelihood to Recommend

For an organization that needs a large volume of users to leverage MFA, on a relatively small set of resources, I think SecurID is a good tool choice. With minimal assistance, users can get set up and configured, and the tool works well enough for what it is needed for. If users were looking to need to perform MFA multiple times a day/hour, other tools with additional features might be a better choice.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use this solution for multi-factor authentication on our wire platforms and for access with the Federal Reserve bank.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We are using RSA Authentication Manager to manage 2FA (two-factor authentication) across the systems in multiple layers of the technology stack. We use it to ensure VPN security, application security and wifi security using both soft and hard tokens based on which use. For example, at our offshore premises where our security policies prevent people from bringing in smartphone inside the facility, those people are provided with hard tokens to support both onsite and remotely.

Likelihood to Recommend

RSA authentication manager is a one-point control over managing 2FA for VPN, application and wifi security. It is a highly scalable solution and works across the technology stack.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

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.

Likelihood to Recommend

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.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

To sign in to our local network and email accounts. Security is a must in our firm. The company is in constant development, hiring new employees and storing sensitive data. Our head attorneys and their executive assistants manage a lot of confidential information that needs to be protected. The perfect way to do it, in a time where passwords are not strong enough, is to use a SecureID.

Likelihood to Recommend

In my humble opinion, if you have to protect your local network from intruders and most of your users are not computer savvy it is a must!

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I currently use SecurID to access National Grid's web portal.

It is currently only my department; mainly me, who uses the SecurID.

SecurID addresses security issues, and provides an extra measure of security for the portal.

Likelihood to Recommend

In a tight, online security setting. web portals, etc.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

For compliance reasons we are required to use advanced authentication to protect some assets we have in our network. We use SecurID as our advanced authentication solution. Users, when needing to access these protected areas of the network must use their advanced authentication, RSA SecurID, to authenticate to the protected network.

Likelihood to Recommend

If you have a compliance requirement for advanced authentication RSA SecurID is a great fit for your organization. If you are looking for a single sign-on solution you'll want to look at something else. RSA SecurID is well suited to verify that the user is who they say they are when they are accessing areas of your network.
