Secret Double Octopus Reviews & Product Details

Setting up a new computer or device is always made more frustrating by the sheer number of logins required for all of the different apps, services, and websites one uses. Maintaining proper security means avoiding reusing passwords or writing them down, so some sort of password manager is a necessity today. However with traditional password management tools, that just means one more app you need to track, and another password and 2FA scheme to keep that tool safe. After setting up a new computer in my home office, being able to use SDO for some of my services instead of traditional password management was refreshing. Microsoft 365 was set up and connected to all of my work services quicker and easier than any site or service, all thanks to SDO. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only downside is that I am not able to use it with all of my sites and services. I'm dependent on my mobile device for so much more than just SDO, so the only potential weak point to using SDO for authentication doesn't even count as a consideration from my perspective.

My company recently implemented Secret Double Octopus for Microsoft 365. As a user, implementation was a breeze. In fact, I kind of forgot about it til Microsoft Teams asked me to sign-in and I started to scramble for my password - until I realized I didn't need it. Just verified using face ID on my phone and I was in! Now I want the company to implement it for everything else I use! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I can only speak to the user side of things (and not the behind-the-scenes implementation) as I'm not on the technical side of things - from my perspective, usage has been seamless and I have no complaints. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Love the focus on keeping the user at the center. Easy to use, a value-added security product that does not run into a large "J" curve in adoption. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Can be complex to manage and maintain but is worth the extra effort in providing a secure method of storing and accessing passwords. Would like to see some additional self-service options for the end-users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Simple passwordless solution provide great user experience to the employees and security to the IT team based on the organisation policy

The ability to connect to any cloud service and legacy applications that are installed on premise or in the cloud

Smooth integration of the Windows and Mac agents to the users Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

First time use is somehow complicated, can be better experience with the onboarding. once users on board everything works great

Users should understand how to enroll and the mobile app should guide them more to the action needs to be done

Integrating with none standard applications was a bit complicated and required the help from SDO support team, but they provide the solution to all the required application even when they did not work in the standard and it took a few days to figure it Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Super easy day to day work with our SDO protected systems

It has become such a part of our work, that we take it for granted that we are protected and in such an easy and intuitive manner.

I also like the way that (as part of our employee leaving policy), I only have to login to the Admin UI and "block" the user in one place.

From this point onwards the ex-employee is blocked from all our inner systems - this is a very important feature. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Dislike is too strong a word.

There are some "glitches" in the Admin UI but totally negligible and the team constantly works to improve it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

the multifactor authentication for active directory users, ease of use for the end-users, ease of enrolling for end-user in massive deployment, no more stickers to stick on the monitor for the users to remember the password. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The simplicity of the product - easy login to all my applications

Password less Authentication and easy deployment.

Daily use with no friction , great support

the company response time is great fo any issue that we had during the deployment process Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

First Deployment was a little challenging for some of the users as they process was not clear (they needed to read the documentation first)

The servers installation took about 2 days as it requires to open some firewall ports and connection to AD which took some time for IT group to enable. suggest to have more wizard type installation to avoid confessions

looking at the solution in general - everything is working very good and it is great Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The Simple and smooth day to day work , no need to remember passwords anymore and the ability to free the users from remember passwords and policies Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The first time on boarding was a little complicated not too much but can be improved Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The fact that it's a single platform for authenticating all users to all computers and services.

Also the ability to integrate with different IAMs and fit to what the end user already have but more securely Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It took some effort for everything to work smoothly so we can really forget all the passwords but once it works it's amazing even for employees who are not very technical. Need more self-service but Octopus are very responsive on this and working to deliver. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
