Excellent streamlined 2FA **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Higher Education | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 13, 2021 **What do you like best about Cisco Duo?** I like how quick it is, even though it's 2FA, the process of sending a notice to my phone and getting me in takes probably 5 extra seconds. **What do you dislike about Cisco Duo?** Nothing that I've experienced so far, all good! **What problems is Cisco Duo solving and how is that benefiting you?** I'm solving password security with Duo. I use it on my school's platform where it's protecting my grades, enrollments, and other private information. ### 32. The best authentication methods are invisible **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Telecommunications | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 19, 2020 **What do you like best about Cisco Duo?** In my opinion the best authentication methods are invisible, they do their job and get out of the way and if it's done right the impact of the user base is so small but you often forget they're there until you have to hit the single button push notification to sign in, one and done then they go right into the background until they are needed again. Duo dual Factor security is like that, and it has options to be more visible you can use a authenticator style access with a code oh, you can have it call you and enter in a time-limited number string for access, but bar none those push notifications are done so well that you get used to reaching over unlocking your personal mobile device and granting yourself access with minimal impact but maximum confidence in the security it provides. Administrating it is a breeze, from managing licenses to granting new users access, I would highly suggest using bulk enrollment even on a single user basis as it's two simple pieces of information vs filling out a user profile, or manually having to set up a device in the system for access. **What do you dislike about Cisco Duo?** I dislike that you can't sat or maybe you can easily set a custom time out for the access, we use this on a lot of multiple RDP session down jump boxes where you might have to deal with environment specific password rules which add extra time in the case of having to do a password change along with dual-factor access, so sometimes you will time out. It's more of a pet peeve though and less of an issue overall, the product works seamlessly there would be more to dislike if it didn't. **Recommendations to others considering Cisco Duo:** I would recommend it highly, after administrating it for 5 years I can say that other solutions I've touched are not as simple and easy, Duo does what it does and gets out of the way. **What problems is Cisco Duo solving and how is that benefiting you?** All of our authenticated access we have multiple customer vrs which require two-factor authentication on connection, we have business partners with their own engineering teams and managing them and Duo is infinitely simpler then having two managed access with issuing and reissuing and replacing and distribution of RSA tokens, this was a massive chore and undertaking in an Enterprise 10 years ago and I wish I had had Duo then. ### 33. Duo security Secure cloud!! **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Luis O. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 07, 2020 **What do you like best about Cisco Duo?** This is a cloud-based platform that gives you security against any threat. In this way you can verify the identity of each user and the health of their device before they access or connect to the applications they want. It is easy to install on your mobile, the way to add accounts is simple and it allows you to log in quickly, safely and easily. It has a 2-factor authentication that allows you to reduce the risk of some type of data breach. In general it is very complete. **What do you dislike about Cisco Duo?** Our experience has been satisfactory with good results, but sometimes the notifications from the mobile application do not appear and I have to start the application manually, I do not understand why this happens. If this improves it would actually provide better performance to the user. It is not bad software, but it can be better. **Recommendations to others considering Cisco Duo:** It is ideal for any type of company that handles private customer information. You will be sure that all the information that we use and with which you work will be protected, by a security system like Duo that requires you to log in with two devices.

Convenient and Safe Duo Security **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Hospital & Health Care | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 26, 2020 **What do you like best about Cisco Duo?** My healthcare organization recently started using DuoMobile (Duo Security) and it has provided convenient safety when logging into my email or employee domain. Considering my employee domain has information on my finances, SS, address, and countless personal information I feel safe having this as a requirement. **What do you dislike about Cisco Duo?** It's a bit of a hassle having to approve the login each and every time I want to login to my time card, email, or employee domain. If I am not by my phone, I will have to run to grab it and most of the time it expires and I have to do it all over again. Not to mention if you get a new phone or new phone number it is a huge headache trying to get this all set up again. I had to spend 30 minutes on the phone with IT figuring out how to get it set up with my new iPhone. **What problems is Cisco Duo solving and how is that benefiting you?** I have realized that I can feel 100% positive that my information will remain safe. If someone tries to login with my info, they have to approve it through DuoMobile and they will not be allowed to if they don't have my phone. ### 36. Great Two Factor Login Software **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Stacey M. | IT Manager, Food & Beverages, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 24, 2019 **What do you like best about Cisco Duo?** Duo Security offers a great option for two factor login. It is easy to deploy and has a great android/apple app that requires minimal permissions to run. **What do you dislike about Cisco Duo?** I dislike the fact that we are required to use tokens for land line calls. **Recommendations to others considering Cisco Duo:** It is a great two factor login software that is easy to deploy, easy to administer. It is also easy for end users to use and great apps for android and apple. **What problems is Cisco Duo solving and how is that benefiting you?** The problems I am solving include meeting government standards, and make us compliant. The benefits are greater security with windows logins. ### 37. Easy and secure two-step verification **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Arielle R. | Manager, Pricing & Planning, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 13, 2020 **What do you like best about Cisco Duo?** Easy way to enforce two-step verification on any device. You can choose to receive a phone call, text message, or push notification. You also have the option of maintaining your secure connection for 24 hours, so that if you log out, you have the option to log back in without doing the two-step verification process again. **What do you dislike about Cisco Duo?** There is nothing I dislike about this software. It is super user friendly and secure at the same time. **What problems is Cisco Duo solving and how is that benefiting you?** Working remotely presents an increased security risk, and Duo Security is a great solution for that. ### 38. Duo Security Review **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Christopher H. | Compliance Officer - ISA, PCIP, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 18, 2020 **What do you like best about Cisco Duo?** Simple to use. Easy to install. Easy to implement. **What do you dislike about Cisco Duo?** I really have nothing negative to say about this product. **Recommendations to others considering Cisco Duo:** Great product! **What problems is Cisco Duo solving and how is that benefiting you?** Remote access to servers. For the installations we have, we use push notification. Login to VPN client with simple easy to remember passcode, then type push for secondary authentication - sends to Duo App where I can approve/decline the authentication request. ### 39. Security of two variables when accessing confidential knowledge **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Alessandra M. | Senior Analyst PMO, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 30, 2020 **What do you like best about Cisco Duo?** Duo 2FA was the best function we placed in all over the business. I can quickly stable links, and we can handle end-user connectivity quite effectively with Duo Push. A wide-ranging business plan will be in the making, applying 2FA on all of our everyday product uses. This can be rendered quite straightforward when utilizing the Duo 2FA defense and it will be dead on accurate to use as shown by testing. **What do you dislike about Cisco Duo?** Often, I need to go through the software to make the push alarm actually show. However, to approve the move you must open your machine, or it won't happen. Even, when you do not have your computer in you, you've got to insert your information into your programs. **Recommendations to others considering Cisco Duo:** This software is certainly recommended by our organization 100 percent, it will be incredibly efficient, modern and compatible with other systems very quickly. It is a system where you can find what it provides in terms of protection. If you'd like to keep your clients, staff, personal and commercial data secure, that's the resource for you - and the organization. **What problems is Cisco Duo solving and how is that benefiting you?** Until using Duo our staff and clients regularly updated their username and are therefore forced to retain the protection of their websites or sites of entry, now that we use Duo Authentication the transmits and passwords are better and can be held for a longer period of time. Ultimately, note that it often exists for applications by third parties and for personal use. ### 40. Works well, no complaints! **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 04, 2020 **What do you like best about Cisco Duo?** I've used Duo at two companies and it works well. Not *too* difficult to use, although it can be annoying to always be reaching for your phone to authenticate. **What do you dislike about Cisco Duo?** The main issues I've had are 1) when I've left my phone at home or at my desk. It just means I have to wait until I have my phone again to authenticate and keep working on whatever I was working on. 2) when I've traveled abroad and am not on the phone network, Duo didn't work with wifi. This caused a problem and I had to contact our IT department to manually let me in. **What problems is Cisco Duo solving and how is that benefiting you?** We were required to use it for security at both companies ### 41. Easiest way for 2fa **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 24, 2020 **What do you like best about Cisco Duo?** How easy to deploy, add accounts. Keep your websites login safe and secured. when u login with username and password you can either select push request to your mobile or generate temp pass-code to login with. this will always apply and block any unauthorized logins **What do you dislike about Cisco Duo?** I had some difficulty when i had to reset the mobile or got a new one to reinstall the software and login. had to contact the administrator to reset account for me but other than that it is working perfect. **What problems is Cisco Duo solving and how is that benefiting you?** Keeping my important website logins secured and block any unauthorized logins ### 42. Dual Factor: Important. Duo: Irritating **Rating:** 0.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Higher Education | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 06, 2020 **What do you like best about Cisco Duo?** Dual factor is crucial for information security, especially since I deal with student grades and graduation dates, etc. **What do you dislike about Cisco Duo?** The set-up is complicated and there's no IT support--I got some support from my University but not enough to make it an easy process. More importantly, though, I got a new phone and now the app is no longer relevant; I have to use texted codes every time. Of course, the receipt of the codes is based on my reception and sometimes takes a minute or two to get through. Half the time, by the time I've finally gotten the codes (and selected the correct one out of the 9 texted to me) the shibboleth login for my university times out and I have to close the tab and start the whole mess over. **Recommendations to others considering Cisco Duo:** Maintain constant contact with your IT department because otherwise it's impossible to implement. **What problems is Cisco Duo solving and how is that benefiting you?** Benefits: Dual login protects information in case of a compromised laptop or a similar situation. ### 43. Awesome Security **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Patricia E. | Writer | Content Writer | Ghostwriter, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 23, 2020 **What do you like best about Cisco Duo?** I love that it is simple and gets the job done swiftly. As soon as I click to send the push notification to me, it arrives in the blink of an eye and I am able to securely log in to my work account. It also offers to call to verify as well. **What do you dislike about Cisco Duo?** So far I have found nothing to dislike as I have never had an issue with Duo. **What problems is Cisco Duo solving and how is that benefiting you?** I am able to securely log into my work account on my personal computer. ### 44. DUO fast, easy authentication for mobile **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Higher Education | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 13, 2020 **What do you like best about Cisco Duo?** Convenience, speed and ease of use are the hallmarks of Duo. Plus, their management tools to view activity are excellent. **What do you dislike about Cisco Duo?** There have been several outages which can certainly impact application access. But generally a solid product. **Recommendations to others considering Cisco Duo:** Run a pilot program and train users for ease of implementation. **What problems is Cisco Duo solving and how is that benefiting you?** It provides a solid 2-factor authentication solution for apps. ### 45. MFA for the MSP **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Jared M. | Network Operations Manager, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 07, 2019 **What do you like best about Cisco Duo?** Duo is very managed service provider (MSP) friendly! Reselling this tool has gone very well, their multi-tenancy works well for our needs. Having a go-to MFA tool that can be resold due to being able to manage it on our clients behalf is really fantastic with the way the big players are beginning to require this tool. **What do you dislike about Cisco Duo?** Its a bit pricey - and now that Cisco owns them it makes me a bit nervous that that may only get worse.. Feature-wise though it has everything you could want out of an MFA tool with multiple levels to resell. **Recommendations to others considering Cisco Duo:** Make sure you research the requirements for Duo's various requirements for use. In some cases you must build out your own "DAG" (Duo Access Gateway). This requires a a device that exists in your DMZ zone. Don't get me wrong, many many apps can integrate with duo without one (most notably O365 login, so anything you SSO with under that would be covered by that integration). But if you want to use this with one of your clients random one-off programs that has SAML support, you will likely require some additional configuration/investment to get it working the way you want. It can always be used via OTP as well though! **What problems is Cisco Duo solving and how is that benefiting you?** Jump on the bandwagon! Everybody is beginning to require MFA - why not adopt a tool that is so easily managed? The push feature in particular makes MFA a much smoother process and less of a pain to adopt for your clients/employees. ### 46. Duo **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Broadcast Media | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 13, 2020 **What do you like best about Cisco Duo?** I like how easy it is to use duo from my mobile phone **What do you dislike about Cisco Duo?** Sometimes it can be inconvenient to have to use a separate device to log in to my remote desktop **What problems is Cisco Duo solving and how is that benefiting you?** Easy, safe, and secure login to remote desktop ### 47. Best MFA Solution on the Market! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Ben C. | Director, Network & Security, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 22, 2019 **What do you like best about Cisco Duo?** The push MFA capability on your phone or watch is great compared to using a token or sms verification. Duo Restore is also a serious time saver when you get a new mobile device and need to transfer all of your MFA tokens to that device. The ability to selectively enforce MFA based on location or other criteria is also loved by our end users. The admin console gives you great insight into the devices connecting to your network, OS versions, etc. **What do you dislike about Cisco Duo?** We tried using the Duo Access Gateway as more of a SSO solution and it's ok but doesn't compare to other leading SSO solutions. **What problems is Cisco Duo solving and how is that benefiting you?** MFA across all enterprise accounts. This is eliminated much of the risk around credential phishing and account compromise. ### 48. Duo is not friendly **Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Education Management | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 14, 2019 **What do you like best about Cisco Duo?** It’s easy to be able to verify so that is one thing that I absolutely love about this software and it’s accessible anywhere on your phone and your iPad and your computer so that makes it even better **What do you dislike about Cisco Duo?** The thing that just like the most is the fact that is such a hard app to get to work correctly it took three calls after work to call the IT department to be able to get this application added to my iPad the problem was it was in sinking so it was causing a lot of issues even when they removed it manually and everything I ended up having to go to the IT department personally so they could take a look at the problem was having and them to be able to solve it needs to be easier to use than that so complicated **What problems is Cisco Duo solving and how is that benefiting you?** The benefit I realized as I don’t have to worry that if I’m using my account from work my outlook of my people solve my Krono’s don’t have to worry about it being an issue I know that I’m being secured by having to use a dual security application that is really heavy ### 49. Prevent your from potential hacking threats with Duo **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Carlos S. | IT Consultant, Information Technology and Services, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 22, 2019 **What do you like best about Cisco Duo?** Duo Security offers further requests to the client, so that all of the two steps for authentication can be done. Also, it gives us the opportunity to authenticate iPhones. I would say the system is not very complicated and, even though we had small difficulties at first, the program can be specified at the whole level. Besides, customer support is very helpful for mobile software implementation. **What do you dislike about Cisco Duo?** It offers excellent and insightful processes and reports on common platforms, but this causes you to feel stuck in attempting to use them with certain non-listed apps. Also, we programmed all our clients to work remotely, and we find that we charge for even more control permits than what we use for a given period of time. However, although its encryption proxy was not the simplest to incorporate into the network, after downloading it and operating with it, everything worked out great. **Recommendations to others considering Cisco Duo:** Duo Security is suitable for large companies that want to add an extra security layer to a technical device, as it works as an internal or external support system. Consider the work is always best done when it is accompanied by a real-time analysis before the procurement of Duo Security. **What problems is Cisco Duo solving and how is that benefiting you?** In our backup systems, we use it for authentication. It helps to prevent our business from potential hacking threats and strengthens confidentiality. Duo Security has multiple options for 2FA including attach, mobile and SMS. Clearly, the two-factor authentication is much easier for remote entry. There is a detailed and well-defined list apps that work with Duo Security. ### 50. Two-factors authentication to access your apps **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Ana D. | Information Technology Staff, Information Technology and Services, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 10, 2019 **What do you like best about Cisco Duo?** Duo Security is very quick when it's working. It is as easy to use and the resources used to search for a QR code are relatively low and makes it a lot less challenging for competitors. When you think you won't have access to your mobile, you could create 2FA codes with anticipation. It allows you to set administrative regulations based on user preferences, where you can select which tools and software should be used. **What do you dislike about Cisco Duo?** The mobile application does not perform well. It would be nice if it could be improved. Also, it would be great to add more native apps. It would nice if users could lower the license usage count for the 90-day period provided. **Recommendations to others considering Cisco Duo:** Having a Cloud-based MFA is the most practical way of providing a wide range of cloud services, and being able to have access to it by using Duo Security is a real victory for a company. It is evident that further work on the viability of deployment must be carried out if you are going to be working with routers, security devices or even when software is not compatible. **What problems is Cisco Duo solving and how is that benefiting you?** Duo Security is used in our enterprise for protection using two-factors authentication and to provide access for an additional link with internal resources and connections to support services by any outside vendor. We use it in different systems via remote access, including VPN and SSO. It lets us reduce potential username and password undermining concerns and provides an extra security element. ## Cisco Duo Discussions - [What is Duo Security used for?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/what-is-duo-security-used-for) -
