('binary' encoding is not supported, stored as-is) Hello,
What are the pros and cons for using hardware RSA SecureID/Other and software with the same characteristics?

For example:
http://www.rsa.com/node.aspx?id=1313

Let's say there's a company that allow only customers using the hardware SecureID to connect its resources -
What might be the main arguments the company has to prefer the hardware and not the software?
>From the customer's point of view it's better to have software installed (management, holding of multiple tokens, user usage etc)
 
Kind Regards,
Elad Shapira ("Zest")
