Duo Security: Best Two Factor Authentication App

  • February 27, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I appreciate that Duo Security provides security through dual-factor authentication from the ease of a mobile app. It is effortless to use. It is faster than inputting a string of numbers from a text message for authentication.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wouldn't say I like that there is no way to approve dual authentication for a set period (i.e., 3 minutes). For example, if I am logging into multiple email accounts and other programs on a server, I have to hit the accept button in the Duo Mobile Security app each time I want to log in. If there were a way to approve logins for a set time window, it would cut down the time it takes to access programs. Perhaps there could also be computer recognition.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Duo Security provides network protection. As a part of the login process, every time I open up my email or any institutional account, I have to approve it through Duo Security.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It takes minutes to learn how to log in with the app. Duo Security can provide peace in that you know your accounts are protected.

Good two factor authentication tool

  • January 25, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Duo is instrumental when it comes to Authenticate our users. It provides extra security for login. Once it is set up then it is effortless to use. It offers multiple options to authenticate users, like via push notification in phone or a text message or a call, etc.
What do you dislike about the product?
I do not dislike anything about the Duo, but it is only dependent on the phone. I am not sure what people are doing if they do not have their phone with them (either forgot or misplaced or lost or stolen) during login.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Due has been helpful when it comes to security. It is very flexible, and the app is user-friendly to all users.

Very simple, really great

  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The first thing that I do when I start working is logging with duo security. It is mandatory to be able to access all of our tools, it is effortless to do, and it keeps me connected the whole day.
What do you dislike about the product?
I have to use another device to do the two-factor authentification, and it is usually my own personal device, but it is quick and shouldn't be a problem.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It secures all my apps by having to recognize myself to use them. No one could access the tools in my name without my consent.

Very convenient 2FA

  • December 03, 2021
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I love how easy it is to use Duo Security. It is the most convenient two-factor authentication software that I have used. I love that when you go to log in, it just pushes a request to your phone, and all you have to do is click the checkmark to confirm that you are trying to log in.
What do you dislike about the product?
I can't think of anything that I dislike about this program. Duo Security is very thoughtfully designed and convenient to use. I'm not sure what could be done to improve this product.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Duo Security is helping to keep our servers more secure and make sure that only the people who are approved to access them can log in. It is a very convenient way to keep our servers safe.

provides security and remote access

  • November 28, 2021
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The Duo Mobile app is a quick and easy solution for accessing my company's VPN while working remotely during the pandemic. I don't ever have issues with the app not loading or not quickly popping up a button for me to confirm remote access.
What do you dislike about the product?
The app is super fast (so no complaints there), but it does time out quickly if I don't confirm remote access fast enough on my phone. All that means is that I have to enter my password on my desktop again. So it's not a big deal at all!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Using Duo means I can log into my company's VPN and work remotely on my laptop during pandemic times. It's a quick and secure way for me to remotely access my company's W drive and all of the files I need without being limited to physically having to work from my office building.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It works well for my purposes of needing to securely log in to my company's VPN during pandemic times. If that sounds like something your company could benefit from, I've not had issues with this software and would recommend it!
