Duo Security Review
What do you like best about the product?
Simple to use. Easy to install. Easy to implement.
What do you dislike about the product?
I really have nothing negative to say about this product.
What problems is the product 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.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Great product!
Awesome Security
What do you like best about the product?
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 the product?
So far I have found nothing to dislike as I have never had an issue with Duo.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am able to securely log into my work account on my personal computer.
Great, very secure 2-factor authenticator
What do you like best about the product?
Duo is very secure but at the same time easy to setup and use. I like that unlike with a random other system, my company's IT still has control over the login and can help me if I lose my credentials.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes Duo sends two login prompts at once, making me confirm my login twice. I think this is a bug but it hasn't been fixed in the past months.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Thanks to Duo mobile my confidential work data remains safe and secure.
A bit annoying sometimes, generally fine
What do you like best about the product?
As we have valuable data on our company database, our IT team deployed Duo two factor authentication for logging in to systems. Push notification two factor auth. is so fast sometimes i think does it needs to be connected to internet. Also its duo dongle is useful when i do not have access to my phone. I keep it with my keys.
What do you dislike about the product?
I am sure it secures our systems but sometimes it is not sending me notifications when i try to login.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use it for logging into Nation Farm’s databases.
Quick and Easy
What do you like best about the product?
Duo is very easy to use. I like that I can validate using my phone, or apple watch to approve a login attempt, I like that I can (for some systems) remain logged in for 90 days, and I like that you can use it offline. That feature has been a life-saver on many a flight when the in-flight wifi was down. You can also have them call your phone, if you don't have cellular data turned on to enable push notifications, and then mash a few keys. Basically, the fact that there are 3 ways to authenticate and all take less than 30 seconds (and 2/3 take literally 2 seconds) is great. I've also never had any kind of issue with it, either when I used it as student, or later in the workforce at different companies.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't have any real complaints - it did take me a little while to figure out how to find the "enter a code" feature but that was because I never did any kind of education or read any setup recommendations. It's still front and center in the app.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's made it quick and easy to use two-factor authentication. As a user, I hate security measures which inconvenience me, and this makes the process as painless as possible.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's super easy to use as an employee.
Duo Security Review
What do you like best about the product?
I love that you can send push notifications for a phone or even my Apple Watch. It keeps the process moving much faster than having to submit a code via text.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish that the login period was longer. I often times forget to check the box that will keep me logged in for 8 hours, so I wish there was more of a default setting for that reason.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am able to use Duo to log into the ATS system we use, Microsoft Sharepoint and our Outlook. It is able to approve all 3 tools with only one sign-on. That part has been a small time saver, but just so convenient.
Single Sing-on has been much welcomed to our organization.
Single Sing-on has been much welcomed to our organization.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Opt for the Single Sign On option, too. It is a lifesaver!
Best MFA Solution on the Market!
What do you like best about the product?
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 the product?
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 the product 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.
Extremely easy to use with multiple ways to connect
What do you like best about the product?
I like how easy it is to use. I can use my mobile phone to get access to my VPN two different ways. Using DUO allows you to push to your mobile phone to confirm. It also creates added security with its protection alongside Microsoft products.
What do you dislike about the product?
Hard to get started in understanding how to use it. Your organization should do training when rolling out the software.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Connecting to our network remotely and easily. Not having to drop tokens every time. Now I only need to hit a button to approve. Other products don't secure against programs that associates commonly use. In this case - it really helps us stay secure with Microsoft products
It's a must
What do you like best about the product?
The app is free and it allows you to have various methods of contact when it comes to getting a hold of you
What do you dislike about the product?
Hard to work with when you first download it into a new phone or tablet. Setting it up correctly can be a little frustrating
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
While it solves the problem of security and avoiding any unknown log in into the network, it can also be a little of a hassle. Duo Security provides a safe and "simple" way to access into our PeopleSoft software when outside of the university's network. This prevents theft, and any other risk items.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It can be a little confusing and hard to set up especially after switching phones. Make sure to contact your company's IT support so they can guide you to change settings.
Duo Security Review
What do you like best about the product?
It reduces security & compliance risk, It is effective, scalable security that is easy to use, easy to deploy and easy to manage.
What do you dislike about the product?
Every time to pick up the phone and approve the incoming Duo message. Sometime (very very rarely) I do not get the approval message on the phone.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I do not solve any problems but I do use the Duo security to login to my systems - Multi-Factor Authentication
