Pricing is based on the duration and terms of your contract with the vendor. This entitles you to a specified quantity of use for the contract duration. If you choose not to renew or replace your contract before it ends, access to these entitlements will expire.

This listing has one pricing dimension: Duo Premier (Users). You buy access in blocks of 50 users. Pricing scales with the number of user blocks you need. To cover more people, you add more 50-user blocks. This is a contract model, so you commit to a set quantity for the term. There are no separate tiers or instance sizes to choose from. Your cost is driven entirely by user count.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
What counts as one user for billing in the Duo Premier (Users) dimension?
A user is one person whose identity and device you protect when they access your applications. You buy access in blocks of 50 users. Each individual who authenticates through Duo counts toward that total. To cover more people, you add more 50-user blocks.
What happens to my cost if my user count crosses a block boundary?
Access is sold in blocks of 50 users. If your headcount rises past a block limit, you add another 50-user block to stay covered. Cost scales with the number of blocks you hold. This is a contract model, so you commit to a set quantity for the term.
Does cost depend on data volume or number of devices instead of users?
No. Cost is driven entirely by user count in blocks of 50. Data volume and device count do not change the price. Each protected person counts as one user, regardless of how many devices they use or how much they authenticate.

Painless MFA with Clear Policy Enforcement
Reviewed on Sep 15, 2026
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
For the most part, the push notifications make MFA painless and easy. Setting up single sign-on with MS 365 and Google Workspace was pretty straightforward. I also appreciate how clean and clear the policy enforcement rules are; they let me manage conditional access by user role without having to jump through too many hoops.
What do you dislike about the product?
The main drawback for me is the pricing jump whenever I need enterprise features such as advanced policy controls. Could be relooked for smaller teams. Also, while the basic navigation is fine, finding specific security settings in the admin portal can feel a bit scattered. A few options are buried two or three sub-menus deep, which makes them harder to locate quickly
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It solves the constant worry of account compromise by adding a quick, reliable layer of security to my everyday logins. I use it to access my work email and internal tool dashboards safely. Biggest benefit for me is sheer convenience. Getting a simple push notification on my phone means I stay secure without losing time (messing around with manual SMS codes or security tokens)

Rapid User Responses and Flexible Notification Options
Reviewed on Sep 15, 2026
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
The software's responses to the requests from users is quite rapid. End users have options to choose whether to receive notifications via text, or via the DUO Mobile app, etc.
What do you dislike about the product?
After setting up new users, their configurations will remain active only for a certain length of time. This can sometimes be an issue, since we set up new users some time before their actual start date.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
This single sign-on system does help tremendously in preventing many types of phishing attempts, as well as hacking, and other attacks from bad actors.

Strong Security Without Complicating Logins
Reviewed on Sep 15, 2026
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
We’ve had a really positive experience using Cisco Duo. What I like most is that it adds a strong layer of security without making the login process feel complicated or frustrating for our users. Once it’s set up, authentication is quick and straightforward, and the mobile app makes approving sign-ins very convenient.
What do you dislike about the product?
While I’ve had a positive experience with Cisco Duo overall, there are a few areas that could be improved. The initial setup and configuration can feel a little overwhelming, especially for teams that are new to MFA or have a more complex environment. Some of the administrative settings also take time to understand and navigate. From a user perspective, having to approve authentication requests can occasionally feel like an extra step, particularly when logging in frequently throughout the day. It would also be nice if some of the management features were more straightforward and intuitive. These are relatively minor issues, though, and overall they haven’t had a major impact on our experience with Duo.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
From an IT perspective, Duo is also easy to manage and gives us good visibility and control over user access. The setup and integration with our existing environment were relatively smooth, and it has helped us strengthen our security without creating a lot of extra work for our team.

Integrates Seamlessly but Needs Better Third-Party Support
Reviewed on Sep 15, 2026
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
I like how Cisco Duo integrates well with the rest of the Cisco stack. It's useful for our setup since we're a Cisco shop, making the integration with firewall, network access, and so on quite convenient.
What do you dislike about the product?
I find the interactions with third-party networking equipment problematic. It would be better if Cisco Duo used more standard protocols for authentication to ease these interactions.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Cisco Duo solves multi-party authentication problems and integrates easily with our existing Cisco software stack for better network management.
