What do you like best about Cisco Duo?

It was simple to set up, and authentication is virtually immediate when connecting to my company's VPN. I prefer the push notification approval approach, as it only requires me to tap a button on my phone. It combines with many other out-of-the-box solutions, and it offers cloud-based, AD-integrated SAML SSO and virtual appliance alternatives to protect even bespoke interfaces. We utilized Duo to protect our VMware Horizon desktop environment; setup and deployment were simple, and I like how simple it is to connect with Active Directory. Even better, end user onboarding was simple, and end users found the system simple to use, which is the most important benefit. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cisco Duo?

I had some issues in the past when I moved phones since I didn't correctly backup my old phone. If you don't click approve soon enough, the request may expire, causing the verification to fail. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Cisco Duo solving and how is that benefiting you?

Duo Security guarantees that access to sensitive information handled by my organization is restricted to those who need it; we utilize Duo Security for all SSO logins. Our security requirements demanded MFA, and Duo Security enabled us to have it up and operating in a couple of days with no disruption to production. Users were easily onboarded, and there was no technical learning curve. We use Duo Security to safeguard our VMware Horizon desktops; the user can receive a push notice on their mobile device, an SMS code, or a phone call; I like the alternatives because each individual has a distinct way of completing their login.
