We use client certs in the company where I work to authenticate into all internal pages. Once the infrastructure was in place (an easy way to generate a certificate to any new colleague) it has been a breeze to setup and use.
Server side, it is 3 or 4 Nginx lines. Client side, people only have to get the cert, click it to open, and install it on Chrome. After that, they are happy they don't have to remember any password for our different services.
I think we could implement it for our users if we gave the option to "login using cert" and "send me a new cert" (to the email they used for signin). People need minimal training but they don't have to be computer literate to do it (half of our company are not, and they found it better than passwords once the system was in place).
