"Secure ZTNA using MFA."
What do you like best about Cisco Duo?

Cisco Duo's Unified Endpoint Visibility provides a dashboard that displays the security health of devices accessing your applications, ns it is very easy to use. It combines data from all devices, including corporate-owned and BYOD, to offer a comprehensive view of your environment. The unique feature is unified device visibility, device posture assessment without NAC, access control without any third-party tool, and Adaptive Authentication. the most advanced customer support can help at any time is the best advantage. Also, integration with the 3rd party firewall and VPN MFA. The in-depth implementation documentation library is available openly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cisco Duo?

Duo is part of the SSE and ZTNA bundle, but some users are expecting that the adaptive firewall security feature can run with Cisco DUO, then the most advanced tool can be helpful for cloud-based security. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Enhanced Security with Duo's Multi-Factor Authentication"
What do you like best about Cisco Duo?

Implementing Duo within our organization has really helped us become more confident about the security of accessing our data. A few of the many strengths of implementing Duo within our organization are as follows: Duo provides us with a detailed track record of employee's access to the assigned applications. Again, the Duo cloud-based architecture has allowed us to easily scale the solution to meet our growing security needs as per the requirements. Last but not least, Duo Multi-Factor Authentication capabilities have secured our organizations data from unauthorized access. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cisco Duo?

While Duo has really helped us a lot in terms of providing a safeguard, however, we see there could be some areas of improvement such as enhancement in customization options. Again, we faced some challenges in integration with the legacy system which required additional support from the Cisco team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Broad Multi-Factor and SSO"
What do you like best about Cisco Duo?

Cisco Duo provides a secure app and Multi-Factor process for signing into workstations and applications. You can tie it into 365 with a Federated Domain and use SSO validated against an on-prem Active Directory server or if you have P1 Licensing against 365 its self. So Duo can be used for many purposes for Single Sign On helping you meet Insurance Companies and Compliance standards. You can also program Yubi Keys and hand those out to your users, this process is easy and pain free. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cisco Duo?

Duos learning curve can be steep when you are setting up more advanced tasks such as SSO against on-prem. Ensure you read and re-read the documentation as you setup the services and that you fully understand the process. Keep in mind if you use an AD server that server must be on for users to sign into 365. If not then it will not let them validate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy to use and secure MFA"
What do you like best about Cisco Duo?

I love duo. The best feature is the DUO Push MFA. Some companies partner with duo. When they do this, you do not need a code. You can actually get a push notification and select yes and be authenticated at the touch of a button. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cisco Duo?

Sometimes software has trouble syncing up with their system and you need to close the app and then re-open it to get the correct code. The other issue that is a problem is when you opt for a text message code, they are 7 digits instead of 6 and they can be difficult to remember. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Duo Security- good MFA tool"
What do you like best about Cisco Duo?

Duo security is good security handy tool which provide you mfa for laptop user login and many other apps. Users have to enter the mfa code while login and in case of lost/stolen device, no one will be able to login the device, so your data will be secure. Simple looks and ease of portal option makes it easy to implement, integrate with other apps and manage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cisco Duo?

One main drawback of duo security is that your mobile phone should be with you at time of mfa, in case you forget phone at home or in case of stolen then there will be some husstle all day along. Also sometime lacking or hanging issue for SMS or passcode. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Duo Review"
What do you like best about Cisco Duo?

It help us to secure the data by adding an addition authentication process where user need to approve the authentication by accepting notification or need to enter the passcode. It also supports multiple ways to provide authentication like SMS, Phone calls, biometrics. It is very fast, reliable and user-friendly. It verifies the user device heather and security posture of device like OS version, encryption and notify user if any of the condition not match. Best part of the duo is easy to integration with different environments and we can also use this as SSO platforms like OKTA and user can authenticate themselves even in SSO login. It protect against phishing, stolen passwords and unauthorized access and help organisations and user to protect the data. As it is ease of implementation to any device and it provides supports for iOS and android. As i frequently using this for authenticaton to login my corporate office device and access the resources. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cisco Duo?

As of my knowledge, I don't feel like Duo has any cons but sometime we face the application is down and authentication notification is delayed and due to this we need to manually enter the passcodes. Some users may feel privacy issue if they are using this application in their personal devices as it continuously checking the security constraints. And Maybe is more costlier than other MFA are available in market like Google authenticator, microsoft authenticator etc. as they are free to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Simple and secure on its own. Confusing/frustrating if used with other authentication softwares."
What do you like best about Cisco Duo?

The app itself is easy to use, whether authenticating w/ online or offline codes. It's easy to add/remove devices and profiles. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cisco Duo?

I've found that when using it w/ other authentication apps (Microsoft Authenticator, Keeper, etc.), there's a tendency to get stuck in an "authentication loop," and therefore using Duo can get confusing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
