|---|---|---|
| Automation and Telecommunications Analyst at Grupo Energisa | 4.5 | We use Thales Authenticators primarily for multifactor authentication, especially for VPNs and security tools. Its YAML 2.0 integration and management interface are valuable, yet improvements could be made in token delivery. It offers a good ROI. |
| ICT Specialist System Management at a financial services firm with 51-200 employees | 4.0 | We use Thales Authenticators for virtual machine login on a hybrid cloud, but it doesn't meet our needs. Lack of Microsoft 365 integration, redundant security features, and inconvenient issue resolution are drawbacks. We're considering migrating to a better solution like Duo. |
| Service Delivery Manager at a healthcare company with 10,001+ employees | 3.5 | We use SafeNet Authentication Manager for secure user authentication, finding its setup straightforward and support good. However, stability and scalability could improve, and we'll switch to Microsoft as SafeNet is falling behind. |
| CTO at TESSIS | 4.0 | I like SafeNet Authentication Manager's hardware token and OTP support, scalability, and easy setup. Technical support is good, but it needs multi-tenant architecture. I recommend it for PKI, rating it 8/10. |
| Director at a consultancy with 51-200 employees | 4.0 | As a long-time user, I find this product stable and scalable with a simple setup. However, it lacks integration with other platforms. I rate it an 8/10. |
