We are in the process of implementing Google Authenticator for 2-factor
authentication in both SSH and VDI authentication. A big reason for
choosing Google was, as a Google Apps for Education user, we were already
using it for email auth. And secondly, it's free. That being said we have
not finished implementation, so I may have more thoughts at week's end.

We currently use SafeNet SafeWord to provide stand-alone RADIUS
authentication for our PCI environment (we are planning to integrate with
our AD).  We currently use Citrix as the front-end web piece; our Network
Team also tie in their PCI network devices.  SafeNet is in the top quadrant
on the Gartner scale and works fairly well for us -- they have soft token
apps for Blackberry and iPhone (not sure about Android).

For the ones that were left, we’ve used Duo Security’s MFA solution.  It
has been pretty painless: inexpensive, easy to manage, and it does what it
says on the tin.  I like it enough that we’re considering implementing it
elsewhere. ****

I’m wondering if anyone is willing to share what methods/products their
institution is using to facilitate two-factor authentication for PCI-DSS
compliance, or I suppose even if your usage has nothing to do with PCI.**
