What are the Key Challenges Faced by Biometrics Middleware Providers?
Despite having unlimited security features, biometrics middleware is expensive and often not affordable by small to medium institutes or residential sector users. Also, there are a few negative sides that act as restraints to key players, such as-
- Complex technical features
- Biometric verification takes time and may not be suitable to be performed on a daily basis in institutes or offices with a high number of employees
- Additional hardware integration requires extra cost
- While the world is adopting the ‘new normal’, this system might not comply with the terms of hygiene, as thumb impression verification and others require physical touching
However, these few disadvantages of biometrics middleware are outpaced by its various advantages, and hence, manufacturers are optimistic of new opportunities coming their way.
