Real stories. Real results.
“Specops gives us compliance and protection — with virtually no admin overhead.”
Since implementing Specops, I get maybe one breach alert a month — if that. It’s great value: simple to set up, minimal effort, and real protection. The better our users’ passwords are, the safer their work and their personal lives.
“We had a problem with weak passwords, and the AD password policy settings didn’t allow us to block common words.”
We installed the Authentication Client on all our endpoints so that our users would get the messages should they fail to choose a strong password. The feature is very helpful, making the implementation process very smooth. We only received a couple of calls to the helpdesk with questions.
“Password health is a lot better”
Our password health profile is a lot better now, especially so since we turned on the continuous scans for Specops Breached Password Protection
