GateKeeper Proximity Authentication Reviews & Product Details

Proximity MFA for shared workstations. MFA for Shared Computers is a cutting-edge security solution designed to enhance user authentication and access control in environments where multiple users share computing resources. This innovative approach allows individuals to log in using their physical presence rather than traditional passwords, creating a seamless and secure experience across computers, VPNs, websites, and desktop applications. Patented and designed for rugged environments including law enforcement, healthcare, manufacturing (ICS/OT cybersecurity), and compliance. Targeted primarily at organizations that require stringent security measures, such as healthcare providers, financial institutions, and government agencies, this solution addresses common challenges associated with password management. By eliminating the need for users to remember or type passwords, it significantly reduces the risk of forgotten credentials, password resets, and the chaos that often accompanies password management. The continuous authentication feature ensures that users remain securely logged in as long as they are present, while automatically locking the system when they step away, thus preventing unauthorized access. Key features of MFA for Shared Computers include passwordless proximity login, which utilizes a wireless key to authenticate users effortlessly. This technology allows passwords to auto-fill across various platforms, including electronic health records (EHRs) like Allscripts PM and eClinicalWorks, as well as web applications such as Office365 and banking sites. The solution integrates seamlessly with existing systems such as Active Directory, Okta, and RADIUS, ensuring that organizations can maintain their current infrastructure while enhancing security protocols. The benefits of adopting this solution extend beyond mere convenience. Organizations can automate access control and ensure compliance with various regulatory standards, including CMMC, CJIS, HIPAA, and NIS2. By streamlining user authentication processes, businesses can improve productivity while maintaining a high level of security. The ability to manage passwords efficiently across shared computers not only enhances user experience but also fortifies overall organizational security, making it an essential tool for any entity looking to safeguard sensitive information in a shared computing environment.

"Works great"

5/5

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.

What do you dislike about GateKeeper Proximity Authentication?

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

"GateKeeper saves time and money"

5/5

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.

"Gatekeeper is the all-around simple solution for companies in need of MFA"

5/5

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.

"Password management made easy with an excellent MFA"

5/5

What do you like best about GateKeeper Proximity Authentication?

I liked the interface, which is user-friendly and intuitive, easy to manage passwords, and secure them with multi-factor authentication. Also liked the features breach alerts and password sharing with expiration options. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GateKeeper Proximity Authentication?

GateKeeper password manager is a fantastic platform, but there are a couple of areas where I can see room for improvement, biometric login speed can be improved, and implementing built-in VPN is my suggestion. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

GateKeeper's built-in phishing detection shields me from many phishing and spam emails, it keeps my inbox clean. Also generating strong passwords and securing them is a great feature, I have to create profiles on various blogging sites and I can't use the same password across all the sites, but GateKeeper has made my job easy.

"Unique product, helpful staff, good partnership"

4.5/5

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 departments 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 reachability 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.

"A sticky solution for passwordless authentication: necessary tool for speed and efficiency."

5/5

What do you like best about GateKeeper Proximity Authentication?

It's simple to use and it's a necessary 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 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.

"You forget you're using GateKeeper! Simplified Computer Locking and Unlocking."

5/5

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.
