Cisco Duo Reviews & Product Details

What I like most about Cisco Duo is the push feature, which allows me to receive a notification and simply press the approve button, without having to search for and copy a 6-digit code. Additionally, I love that I can use it from my watch, which allows me to approve access without having to take out my phone, saving me from distractions. It is much faster and safer than using slow text messages or searching for passwords in authentication tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Well, it's that if I don't have my phone on hand, or I ran out of battery, or I don't have my watch on hand, well, my smartwatch, then I'm blocked, and I can't access anything. It would be good to have more backup options that are easy to use without having to contact technical support. The process of changing devices is a bit tedious because you have to go back to and if I don't have the IT administrator, it's necessary. See all those issues, so that's what makes it difficult for me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like how easy Cisco Duo is to use and deploy. The push-based authentication is quick and user-friendly, allowing users to approve access with just one tap, which reduces login delays. The deployment integrates easily with existing systems, saving setup time and effort. We value Duo Push the most because it provides fast, secure authentication with minimal user effort, and its easy integration for VPN and application access. The initial setup was very easy, supported by clear documentation and quick integration into our existing environment. I would rate it a 9 out of 10 because it is very easy to use and secure.

Reporting and troubleshooting could be improved, as deeper visibility into authentication issues would make administration easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use Cisco Duo as our main MFA security feature and appreciate the ability to have users authenticate twice via password and then Duo push/call. I particularly like the push notifications feature, where I can receive a push to accept rather than having to enter a text number and input code. It's convenient not to go looking for codes to enter when I can just accept a push, and it even shows the location and time of the push. Additionally, the initial setup was easy by just scanning a QR code. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Cisco Duo has several drawbacks, such as its relatively high cost for smaller teams, which can be a barrier for some organizations. Users may also experience fatigue from frequent push notifications, and the process of setting up policies can be quite complex. Additionally, the reliance on mobile devices for multi-factor authentication can be inconvenient, and there are times when support responses are delayed or inconsistent.

Sometimes the window to confirm a login is hard because there's not enough time. Or when I'm not around my phone, it's time-consuming to go other routes if I need to log in quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like how secure Cisco Duo feels, and I love the mobile app. It allows me to connect remotely so that I can work from home and still share files seamlessly on our shared SharePoint.
