Better:

"Without a doubt, he will succeed."

or

"He will succeed, without a doubt."

Is the comma really necessary?

The comma helps avoid the misreading "He will succeed-without-a-doubt" (that is, he will succeed without his having any doubts). The reader would eventually figure out what was meant without the comma, but if it costs the writer nothing to insert it, it's better to do it.

Thanks for the concise explanation.
I never saw that there might be another interpretation.

Fixed.
