Stronger authentication has protected accounts and simplifies daily access management

Review provided by PeerSpot
What is our primary use case?
My use cases for Cisco Duo include it being a more robust, easier to manage MFA solution than most.
What is most valuable?
What I like the most about Cisco Duo is the ease of use; the visual design with checkmarks and green checkmarks paired with red X marks is the best feature ever.
What needs improvement?
What I dislike about Cisco Duo is that anything that Cisco Duo lacks, we can do through Microsoft, which is a workaround because we're integrated with Microsoft, and that was the first thing I did. If anything ever has a problem connecting to Cisco Duo, I just connect to Microsoft, which then connects to Cisco Duo, so that resolved most of my issues.
The other problem I had is now fixed. Cisco Duo did not integrate with Cisco Meraki products, but now you do. I was not updated about that integration, and it would have been nice to receive an email about it. However, I sometimes receive a high volume of emails from various sources, so being informed of that update was not very clear to me. I'm not sure when that happened; I just noticed it on my own. It was a very welcome change and it would have been nice to receive clear communication about the new feature. If updates happen all the time, it becomes difficult to pay attention to them. There are some vendors that send too many updates. I cannot go through all of them, and honestly, I cannot remember off the top of my head if Cisco Duo is one of those vendors or not because it is a very common issue.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Cisco Duo in my career overall for three to four years or more.
How was the initial setup?
The initial deployment for Cisco Duo was not a problem at all. Most of the work involves having a good antivirus or spam filter; you just have to fine-tune the settings to where you want them to be, and that just takes time and knowledge on what preferences you prefer. It was actually really nice and easy.
We had an issue where our people were getting locked out of their accounts because somebody was trying to log in as them. We used Microsoft's MFA, and it stopped them from getting in but still locked the account, which was inadequate. Cisco Duo stopped that from happening, and that was awesome.
What other advice do I have?
I think the pricing of Cisco Duo is great; it's good enough that I do not think about it, and I do not look at other options. We tested out Microsoft's MFA before we tried Cisco Duo, and it failed on day one; it would not work and did not work for what our use case was at all, while Cisco Duo worked on day one, which was the best thing ever. I never had issues with Cisco Duo.
It was a bit of a pain when Cisco Duo had the proxy service that you had to have, and then you got rid of that, so you fixed that issue right away. Cisco Duo just works; that is the best feature. I would rate this solution highly based on my overall positive experience with the product and its performance.

Strong authentication has secured remote access but reporting and mobile options still need work
Reviewed on May 04, 2026
Review provided by PeerSpot
What is our primary use case?
What is most valuable?
My experience with Cisco Duo's strong security authentication system has been good; it performs very well when logging in.
I have not used Cisco Duo's conversational AI interface for admin tasks.
My impression of Cisco's Identity Intelligence capability to detect and respond to identity-based risks is that it is good, but the problem is that their reporting is not good compared to Palo Alto and Fortinet; the reporting would be a struggle.
I do not utilize the Advanced Identity Threat Detection and Response feature because we have Cisco IPS, so we are using that instead.
What needs improvement?
Cisco Duo could be improved by making it available on Microsoft Azure .
I would rate Cisco Duo seven out of ten because of the issues I have already mentioned. The Cisco firewall is a bit slow, and I am uncertain whether they have a mobile pass feature in Cisco Duo.
I think a mobile pass feature should be an alternative option nowadays in case there are any issues in the telecom sector.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been working with the product for more than two years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
There are no new features or functionalities in Cisco Duo that my organization has started using recently. We have two-factor authentication with FTD, and as I mentioned, we are moving to the cloud, so we will deploy Cisco Duo on the cloud for our cloud-hosted applications.
How are customer service and support?
I do not think Cisco Duo is the best option on the market thus far.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I used FortiAuthenticator and Microsoft Authenticator before Cisco Duo.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
I think the pricing of Cisco Duo is acceptable; we know how to reduce the cost.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
The choice depends on how the data centers are moving. If they are completely moved to the cloud, then we will use Microsoft.
What other advice do I have?
I have experience with Cisco Duo. I have been quite satisfied with Cisco Duo. The implementation of Cisco Duo is straightforward. I am a customer of Cisco. I would rate this product seven out of ten overall.

Efficient MFA with Room for Improvement
Reviewed on May 01, 2026
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
I appreciate Cisco Duo's efficient technical support, which helps solve all technical challenges I encounter. The Trusted endpoints feature is valuable for preventing non-work devices from connecting to our environment, enhancing security. The push authentication is lightweight and easy to accept, offering security with a level of convenience. Additionally, the initial setup of Cisco Duo was very easy.
What do you dislike about the product?
It lacks full integration with critical components of Microsoft RD Web Solution, which would enable us to verify users using a passcode for users who don't have the Duo MFA app. Cisco needs to ensure that there is support for critical Microsoft remote connection implementation as it is widely used.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Cisco Duo adds a second layer of authentication, reducing password compromise risks. It protects remote access and helps block unauthorized devices. It solves issues like phishing, credential theft, and weak passwords while offering convenience through push authentication.
