Simple and secure on its own. Confusing/frustrating if used with other authentication softwares.

What do you like best about the product?
The app itself is easy to use, whether authenticating w/ online or offline codes. It's easy to add/remove devices and profiles.
What do you dislike about the product?
I've found that when using it w/ other authentication apps (Microsoft Authenticator, Keeper, etc.), there's a tendency to get stuck in an "authentication loop," and therefore using Duo can get confusing.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It has added a layer of security at work that otherwise was not present.

Easy to use and secure MFA

  • July 06, 2025
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I love duo. The best feature is the DUO Push MFA. Some companies partner with duo. When they do this, you do not need a code. You can actually get a push notification and select yes and be authenticated at the touch of a button.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes software has trouble syncing up with their system and you need to close the app and then re-open it to get the correct code. The other issue that is a problem is when you opt for a text message code, they are 7 digits instead of 6 and they can be difficult to remember.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
My industry has security regulations imposed by the government to keep my client’s data secure. We are required to use Multi factor authentication in everything we do. Duo is making this easy when it is not an easy task to do.

A simple solution for a complex problem

  • July 03, 2025
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Duo was the only solution we found that was cost effective and did what we needed it to do for an MFA type solution. We enabled it as a network validator to our security stack as required by changing regulations.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only downside so far is the small expense for tokens.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our end users are lot legally allowed to use cellphones in their workspace, and there was no web based solution that would work since it was a network authentication verification that was needed.
