An Easy Solution to Implement Enterprise-Level 2FA

  • October 26, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
This is a 2FA solution that just works! It offers multiple ways to authenticate, including text and phone calls. However, I have found it easiest to receive a push notification to my device. This lets me get through verification in less than 5 seconds. It doesn't get much easier than that!

After continuing usage for a few year since original implementation, it's continued to provide a consistent, reliable method of securely signing into my work accounts.
What do you dislike about the product?
As with the implementation of any 2FA program at an enterprise level, there will be some users who will find the process foreign and time-consuming. Additionally, individuals who do not have texting or smart devices might find the phone verification cumbersome. However, once they build it into their workflow, it will become second nature.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Improving data security and authentication for institutional accounts. Used as 2FA verification across all single-sign-on applications, making it harder for secure data to be compromised.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
From my experience, this is about as good as it gets! After getting over the learning curve, I have had nothing but positive experiences.

Good security measures

  • October 12, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I like the push code option because it's much easier than having to type in the pass code. The notification pops up at the top of your phone screen and you simply tap "more options" and "approve". Super fast and easy.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish that there was a way to approve the push code without having to sign into your phone or click the "more options" button. It's easier to just click things once.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am solving problems with multifactor logging in! It helps bypass any flaws in the login process and protects user and organization safety.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Use the push code option! It's faster and easier than the pass code option.

Has a good purpose but annoying to use

  • October 11, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
There are three different ways to verify your number: a push notification, a code generator, or a call. It's a great program if you need multiple ways of authentication, as it's very simple and use to use.
What do you dislike about the product?
If you don't have your phone on you, it's impossible to log in to an account. Also, the maximum number of days you can stay logged into an account is for 7.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am able to ensure no one can access my account at the university because I need to verify it through my cell phone.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
The push-notification on the iPhone is the easiest way to get authenticated.

Great way of securing logins

  • October 07, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Due works seamlessly with our work login system to ensure two step authorization to log in to our accounts. The app works extremely quickly and also has back up codes if for some reason the linking isn't working.
What do you dislike about the product?
I have no found any negatives with duo.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It has certainly made our login system a lot more secure. Facial recognition is required on phones that are capable of it, and these are needed to login on a computer.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Very easy setup and easy to use.

Senior account executive

  • August 26, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Very easy to use. It connects to your phone easily to authenticate with the press of a button.
What do you dislike about the product?
When you’re logged in and then go offline and come back online, it makes you reauthenticate but still remembers you had a session going, so it gets confused and makes you override the old session. The session should automatically end when you go offline.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It makes my computer safer and makes it harder for someone else to access important information from my computer.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Instead of pulling up a code from your phone to log in, you can just type your password and then type “push” and a button comes up on your phone to authenticate. It’s much easier.
