Simple, Secure Logins with Cisco Duo’s Fast Mobile Push Authentication
What do you like best about the product?
What I like most about Cisco Duo is how it strengthens our login process. We use Cisco Duo for authentication for our company portal. It provides a six-digit code that you need to enter, and only then are you able to successfully log in to the company portal, AWS, and GitLab.
What do you dislike about the product?
One thing I dislike about Cisco Duo is that push notifications can sometimes arrive late, especially when my internet connection is slow.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Cisco Duo helps us secure company applications and VPN access through multi-factor authentication. It provides strong security while still making authentication easy for our applications. It solves authentication issues smoothly and enables secure access to applications without unnecessary hassle.
Stronger authentication has protected accounts and simplifies daily access management
What is our primary use case?
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.

I find Cisco Duo extremely easy to use, especially the phone-based application that allows me to quickly and easily verify my identity, ensuring that my privacy and organization security is always a top priority. It enhances security greatly by verifying my identity on the same platform or computer, or across several computers or devices. Our MIS department made the initial setup extremely easy.

Easy to use 2FA solution
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to deploy, easy to use, and fantastic tech support.
What do you dislike about the product?
Haven't really found anything I don't like about it. If I had to come up with one negative it would be cost, but even then, it's just not that expensive in the overall scheme of things.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
2FA has become a requirement for HB96 and DUO completes that requirement.
Cisco MFA Fits Seamlessly with Our Existing Firewalls
What do you like best about the product?
We currently use Cisco firewalls, and therefore the multi-factor authentication (MFA) requirement—being mandatory for us—can be fulfilled using solutions from the same vendor.
What do you dislike about the product?
Earlier, integration with the Duo LDAP cloud service was straightforward; however, it has now become somewhat more challenging.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The requirement for multi-factor authentication (MFA) for secure zone login.
Cisco DUO has been our most reliable 2FA solution so far
What do you like best about the product?
Cisco DUO is very intuitive for both the end user and admins alike. The DUO app works with all kinds of mobile devices that I have come across and appears to stay up to date. The DUO solution is integrated with our Cisco Firewall solution so it is easily managed. The App performs very quickly, though it does rely on a decent network connection of almost any type. Cost associated with DUO is very reasonable compared to other solutions, and support is very good.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is not much to say here, other than the DUO Push solution is sometimes too qick. The end user does not expect it to only allow them about 7 seconds to approve the prompt. However this is almost always a breif learning curve to just be prepared when you hit confirm on the laptop knowing the prompt on your mobile device is following asap.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use this as 2FA to confirm VPN credentials and connect to our internal network for remote Team members.

I like Cisco Duo because it's very easy to use. The Multi-Factor Authentication feature is particularly valuable as it prevents unauthorized access and keeps our information safe. Additionally, the initial setup was pretty easy.
What do you dislike about the product?
I guess if the price can be cheaper, it will be better.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Cisco Duo allows us to receive credit card payments and prevents unauthorized access with Multi-Factor Authentication.

What do you like best about the product?
I like the fact that every platform we use that requires MFA can go through DUO.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing is a dislike at this present time.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is solving our employees not having to go to different places for MFA.
