If you're holding a significant amount of money, they are a must.

Anthony, there are some good ones. Very good topic:

1) I personally hate Ledger. For various reasons.
2) I love Trezor. It's old-school.
3) There are some others that are quite good.

I’ve tested a few of these and honestly, it comes down to what you’re holding and how much control you want. Some are better if you're deep into altcoins, others feel safer with fewer connectivity features. I’d lean toward the one with open-source firmware if security’s your top priority, but if you need mobile access too, there are good options for that now.
