What do you like best about GateKeeper Proximity Authentication?

When other products fall short, Gatekeeper Proximity Authentication was is able to get the job done. Gatekeeper makes it super simple to lock down computers based on proximity. A user walks away and their computer locks and when they come back it unlocks. It couldnt be any easier for the users and the support team at Gatekeeper is top notch and very helpful. We've used Gatekeeper in several challenging environments from auto dealerships, police departments and government offices. I'll continue to promote Gatekeeper to my clients. It just works. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GateKeeper Proximity Authentication?

There isnt much to complain about. If I had nitpick, it would be nice if it could lockdown a mobile device like it does a computer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is GateKeeper Proximity Authentication solving and how is that benefiting you?

Some of our clients have requirments that un-attanded hardware be locked and getting users to do that is near impossible, especially if they "are comming right back". Gatekeeper solves that issue without them even having to think about it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about GateKeeper Proximity Authentication?

Simple to use and easy to understand. Once the server is setup and users are enrolled it is very simple. It is easy to look at the dashboard to identify who is using it and who might be having problems with it. My account rep is fantastic and is super responsive when approached with any questions or concerns. I use a token daily on my own system and it has been consistent and worked every time. This is a simple system to get setup and to implement for users, training material is provided and tailored to your business. It really doesn't get much easier for MFA integration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GateKeeper Proximity Authentication?

There really isn't anything to dislike. It makse MFA much simpler for both the user and the admin. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is GateKeeper Proximity Authentication solving and how is that benefiting you?

This solution provides EASY to use MFA for our users and is easily allows multiple users to authenticate to the same computer for different shifts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about GateKeeper Proximity Authentication?

This is a very simple solution to use and the reporting great. Sharing common usernames and passwords for web pages, saves us valuable time when setting users up and it also saves us time with not having to help get locked accounts reset. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GateKeeper Proximity Authentication?

The batteries in the Halberd tokens dont seem to last very long. We are looking forward to the new rechargable Halberd tokens. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is GateKeeper Proximity Authentication solving and how is that benefiting you?

We have increased our company password policy to 16 characters. GateKeeper's 2 factor authentication simplifies the login process and the time it takes for our endusers to login. GateKeeper has saved us numerous hours of work by not having to unlock accounts because of incorrectly typed passwords. Using GateKeeper for 2 factor authentication is also saving us on our cyber insurance policy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about GateKeeper Proximity Authentication?

The seamless ability to setup MFA login for Windows Active directory accounts while at the same time allowing the ability to setup secure access to shared resource accounts. This made our work process much more seamless as we are required to audit all logins to shared resources and with gatekeeper that ability is extremely easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GateKeeper Proximity Authentication?

There is not much i dislike about gatekeeper but if i had to choose i suppose sometimes we have strange issues with their propietary tokens for login but other than that we have no real complaints. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is GateKeeper Proximity Authentication solving and how is that benefiting you?

Compliance is the main benefit of using gatekeeper as we are required to protect our windows account logins and to audit shared workstation logins which prior we were finding was very difficult to do without business disruptions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about GateKeeper Proximity Authentication?

GK provides our employees an easy and simple way to comply with our security requirements. Management is very simple and accessible. It is very easy to customize your client in order to fit your staff's workflow. The onboarding team is incredible. While other companies might route through several different separtments and have you open several different tickets which then routed into the nether, GK's people are very reachable and very willing to work with you. The reashability of their staff is the best thing about this product, which is saying something. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GateKeeper Proximity Authentication?

A bit of a learning curve, especially if rolling out quickly. Staff may need to be trained more than once on the basics of how it works in order to enjoy the full benefit. Android app still is not available to me in the Play Store. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about GateKeeper Proximity Authentication?

It's simple to use and it's a nessary tool now that I do not have to remember any of my passwords. GateKeeper simplifies logins to my computer and autofills credentials on websites! I simply wear my token on me at all times and I forget that I even have it on me! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GateKeeper Proximity Authentication?

It works best if you wear it versus keeping it in your pocket but I have noticed that wearing the token enhances the overall end user experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is GateKeeper Proximity Authentication solving and how is that benefiting you?

There were several obstacles that GateKeeper helped us overcome. Due to the nature of the work at hand, there were several key challenges that we had to overcome: 1. we could not be limited to just one type of authenticator, 2. we could not change our shared PC workflow, and 3. we needed the solution to work without constant internet access.

1. Having authenticator options were important to our end users. GateKeeper supports three types of authenticators for computer logins: Bluetooth tokens (Halberd or Trident Smartphone app for iOS/Android), RFID/NFC cards, Email with OTP code.

2.We could not change our shared PC workflow due to the requirements of the tests that are being performed/monitored on said computer workstations. Someone in the morning might start the test, however someone on a later shift will have to sign into the same computer to monitor the same test. We needed a solution that would allow us to maintain this same exact workflow whilst also helping us identify who was actually signed in at any given time due to compliance requirements and accountability. GateKeeper has a special computer implementation called 'Kiosk mode' which was critical for our teams 2FA project.

3. The last bit may not be as important to others but if the internet were to go down for any reason, it was important that users could still login and out of their computers without issue. There's a locally cached database with last used credentials in the rare event your internet were to go down. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about GateKeeper Proximity Authentication?

The solution took seconds to set up on my computer and it was straight forward to use. Cheat sheets and guides were customized for our project. Installation was guided and has been working without issue since day one of using the solution. Customer support is extremely responsive and easy to reach. I wish many of my other projects were as simple as GateKeeper. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GateKeeper Proximity Authentication?

Trident iOS users have to bring the app up into the foreground when unlocking the computer but it isn't that bothersome after you get used to it. I prefer using the halberd Token instead. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is GateKeeper Proximity Authentication solving and how is that benefiting you?

Without GateKeeper, we would have to keep all of our computers either unlocked all day or issue really weak, simple usernames and passwords. Now that we have GateKeeper, we can issue long, complex passwords without having the end user actually type it in every time they need access to a particular computer.
