It is so quick and easy to use, two steps.

I really do not have any cons or dislikes. It is a great app
It states that because of security reasons it cannot be screen shot

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
No one can log on anywhere except our sites without a Duo login approval
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Quick two-step authentication, so easy
One of the simplest 2FA apps I have ever used
What do you like best about the product?
Simple and straight to the point. Works for notifications, phone calls, and 6 digit codes that refresh every 30 seconds. There doesn't seem to be any issues with platforms. You can use it on WIndows and Mac and use it for iOS and Android. The admin portal is very user friendly. You can easily add phone numbers to users if they prefer to have both their work and personal phone setup.
What do you dislike about the product?
If the computer time and the phone time are not in sync, you will get a "Bad timestamp" error when trying to login. You won't know what is causing it since it doesn't tell you right away. Depending on how your computers are set up for your company, you'll be in a loop where you can't login because of the bad timestamp, but can't adjust the time because you can't login. The only way is to boot into safe mode, or hopefully your local admin can login and change the time.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
My company was switching over from using RSA. and the happiness level with users became night and day. They hated RSA's "PIN and the passcode". With Duo you only have to remember your Windows Password. When users were locked out with RSA it was not fun on the admin portal side either. The user would remain locked out until they were enabled again on the admin portal. With Duo, we were able to set it to unlock accounts after 30 minutes. In any instant that someone lost their phone, we can do a bypass setting, and they can log in as usual temporarily. We were not able to do that with RSA since the software was installed directly onto the laptop. For any users that were not wanting the Duo app installed on their phone, it still allowed the calling feature as an option. Such a small footprint and very versatile.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are using RSA, definitely switch to this. Your users will be happier.
Duo saved my companies life!
What do you like best about the product?
Security is key. Having an application like duo has allowed me and my company to get the safety we need, without constantly having to monitor every application. The onelogin system is genius, secure and easy for all of my employees. The app is integrated with so many companies, I have never had to request for soemthing new to be added, it truly is a one stop shop! I have also used this at a lot of companies so I didn't have to re-learn a system.
What do you dislike about the product?
when I got a new phone, I had to set everything up again, there should be a cleaner process on logging into your duo so you dont have to go down this road.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Security! Plain and simple. it also is a huge time saver for my IT department.
Excellent streamlined 2FA
What do you like best about the product?
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 the product?
Nothing that I've experienced so far, all good!
What problems is the product 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.
Work & Home Safety
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to use and could transfer to my new phone. I was also able to help many of our employees learn how to use it without much hardship.
What do you dislike about the product?
I had to contact my company's helpdesk to transfer the key to another phone, but that may vary depending on your workplace. We have a good helpdesk team, so it was more of a hassle. It could also depend on the package purchased.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Having many of our employees work from home while handling private information, we needed services that could help us all maintain security in addition to vpn-access servers. This way, our databases remain safe even before the vpn servers are accessed.
No issues so far after almost a year of use.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
I've used Duo at both my current workplace, and at a prior one. For employers, it makes it easier to track clock-in times of the user for timecard purposes. I recommend encouraging your team by explaining the use of this app will help them demonstrate they are on time. Of course, a relationship of trust should already be developed before this conversation, but it is beneficial to be able to have something to show in case explanations are needed when reporting to higher management.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Do use tje app for any privacy or authentication related work to make things secure and safe
Duo Makes Security Convenient and Simple. With Just The Tap of A Button, You Are Authenticated!
What do you like best about the product?
Duo makes it so easy to log in to the systems I need to use it with. With just a tap, I am authenticated and logged in! With just a tap, you can generate passcodes right from the convenience of your cell phone! I love that I can have piece of mind, just by quickly opening an app and tapping the button when I log in! I have used authenticators in the past that were not so easy and you surely could not use it from your personal cell pone for work purposes. But now that we use DUO at work, it is so much easier than jobs before, when it comes to safety and passcodes. DUO authenticator is the best app I have ever had the pleasure of using at work!
What do you dislike about the product?
There are absolutely NO downsides to using DUO! How can you not love it! It is so simple and easy to use! The ONLY thing I dislike is not anyone's fault but my own. I hate when I leave my phone in another room ad I am in my office about to log in and realize that I do not have my phone with me and have to run to where I left it to tap the button to authenticate. But that is my own forgetfulness lol. But I seriously recommend anyone who needs an authenticator to try out DUO! Just give it a shot! You will absolutely LOVE IT!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have been able to add an extra layer of security to our work. I use it every single day, and it actually makes me feel like my work is more secure when I tap that button to authenticate. It is great! I have been using DUO every day since starting this job and it is fantastic!
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Try it out! It is absolutely the easiest way to authenticate, with just a tap on your phone you can quickly authenticate or get a passcode right from your cell phone!
Duo
What do you like best about the product?
I like how easy it is to use duo from my mobile phone
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes it can be inconvenient to have to use a separate device to log in to my remote desktop
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Easy, safe, and secure login to remote desktop
Easy and secure two-step verification
What do you like best about the product?
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 the product?
There is nothing I dislike about this software. It is super user friendly and secure at the same time.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Working remotely presents an increased security risk, and Duo Security is a great solution for that.
The best authentication methods are invisible
What do you like best about the product?
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 the product?
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.
What problems is the product 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.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
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.
