Two factor and dingle based authentication are an amazing feature of it. > > **Cons**: Slight has higher cost but I terms of feature it is the best application > > It's perfect tool for authentication ----- ### "Prevent unauthorized system access with ESET." — 4.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *17 February 2023* | Staffing & Recruiting | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: We precisely grant the servers and their access to only authorized personnel, the easiest way we have is to have implemented this program, it is very fair to say that when starting it and installing it, the coding is very simple, just like the setup.Key pairing to each user with a simple key is very interesting and there can be reliable and effective secure access management which is what we like best > > **Cons**: In the sense of aspects that I dislike within the software, I think what it could indicate is that it blocks some IPs by default, I think this is somewhat distressing when you do not initially know that the program does this by default and you do not know how to solve it immediately, The other thing is that push notifications often get stuck when you read too much information or the servers are very large. > > If it weren't for the only cons that I put above, it would be the best program I've had in double authentication, it's a real lock that you can trust so that nobody accesses your information in a violent way.It protects very well the information that we have in the databases about our collaborators in human resources, it is really true that it also prevents unauthorized departments from snooping on information that does not correspond to them by faculties. ----- ### "Love it when it works" — 2.0/5 > **Greg** | *24 March 2020* | Legal Services | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10 > > **Pros**: Simple for users to use, on premise based > > **Cons**: When it works fine, when it does not I have found support is useless. I have found functions on the app for Android that tech support does not know about and told them. Reinstalling is not always an option. Tech support always wants me to run all kinds of different diagnostics on our server, it is NEVER our server. It seems like ESET does not know what both hands are doing, the problems are always on some server there the techs do not know about. I have found that all problems go away if I just disable the software for a week and just wait for someone at ESET to discover they need to reboot a server and the problem goes away. I also know from talking with counterparts when ours does not work theirs does not a well for the most part. Not our server... > > Once again love it when it works, gets slow at times, and give up for a week if it breaks. --- see above ----- ### "Reliable MFA That Works Once It’s Set Up" — 4.0/5 > **Joshua** | *7 January 2026* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: ESET Secure Authentication has been reliable and consistent for us over the last several years. It fills in the significant security need for 2FA in environments that don't natively support it, even though by now they really should. Once it’s configured, it runs quietly in the background and doesn’t require much ongoing attention. For the specific environments where we use it, it’s done exactly what we need it to do without issues. > > **Cons**: The initial setup was a bit confusing and more complicated than it probably needed to be, especially in certain areas of the configuration. Support is fine overall, but it hasn’t stood out as exceptional. > > Overall positive experience. We’ve been using it for about four years in select use cases, and once it was up and running, it’s been stable and dependable. It gets the job done and doesn’t demand much day-to-day effort. ----- ### "Second Level Authentication" — 4.0/5 > **Vincent** | *31 March 2020* | Wholesale | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: The ability to be integrated into windows OS > > **Cons**: PUSH NOTIFICATIONS ARE SOMETIMES DELAYED. Server IP addresses are not US.. Layer 7 filtering does not work. s > > Remote Desktop is more secure ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/267030/eset-secure-authentication?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/267030/eset-secure-authentication) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
