Customers trust security needs in private cloud with seamless integration and user satisfaction

  • April 28, 2025
  • Review provided by PeerSpot

What is our primary use case?

Our customers in the fertilizer industry use Cisco Duo for their security needs. The solution helps secure access to their private cloud, enabling client VPN and SSL VPN connections with ASA.

What is most valuable?

I find that the client VPN and multi-factor authentication (MFA) features are the most useful. Additionally, I appreciate the adaptive authentication capabilities. Integration with existing security solutions is easy, and the simplicity and user-friendliness of the product have satisfied me and my customers, as evidenced by subscription renewals over the past four years.

What needs improvement?

I think Cisco should allow easier integration with third-party equipment because Cisco's own equipment is expensive. This change would be beneficial for customers using third-party hardware, as the integration of Cisco software and Cisco Duo subscriptions with non-Cisco devices is currently limited.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been working with Cisco Duo for the past four years.

What was my experience with deployment of the solution?

The deployment of Cisco Duo is straightforward. It generally takes about two days to complete.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

I have received no complaints about stability from my customers.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

I find Cisco Duo is scalable enough for my customers' needs.

How are customer service and support?

I would rate Cisco's technical support at ten out of ten.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

My customers have previously used SafeNet solutions. However, they switched to Cisco Duo because it offers more technical features and is cost-effective.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup of Cisco Duo is very easy. I would rate the ease of setup as a nine out of ten.

What was our ROI?

Cisco Duo is cost-effective, providing a good return on investment as it saves costs compared to other brands.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

The price is reasonable for my customers. The approximate cost is around eighty dollars per user.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

My customers previously evaluated SafeNet solutions.

What other advice do I have?

If I were to recommend Cisco Duo to my customers, it would be for its cost-effectiveness and user-friendliness, as it offers a lot of features compared to other brands. My total rating for Cisco Duo is ten out of ten.

Security measures and seamless updates improve organization

  • January 14, 2025
  • Review provided by PeerSpot

What is our primary use case?

At this point, the primary use case of Cisco Duo is to secure access to systems, applications, and data through multi-factor authentication (MFA), and we use Cisco Duo, which we also provide to other clients. We implemented it and use it ourselves. The IT and finance departments should be involved in the process.

How has it helped my organization?

Simplified Access Management with a centralized admin control, security remote access even with their BYOD etc.

What is most valuable?

All features of the solution are effective, Duo supports BYOD policies by allowing users to authenticate securely from their personal devices. This flexibility allows employees to work from anywhere while ensuring that only secure devices can access corporate data. This has been very effective for our organization, and we have not encountered any issues. We use Cisco Duo and provide it to our clients as well. We implemented it and also use it internally. The IT and finance departments should be involved.

What needs improvement?

I found some issues yet do not remember them specifically. There was an project requirement related to facial recognition integration imbedded in duo.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using this solution for two years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The stability of the solution is okay. We have not found any issues.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

Until now, we did not find issues related to scalability as we did not implement the solution at a large scale.

How are customer service and support?

The customer service is okay. However, the response time could be faster.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup consists mostly of demos, so it is not very hard to implement.

Additionally, there is also online support available. The setup took around a week, depending on how big the infrastructure is.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

The setup cost is reasonable, estimated at around six euros per month.

What other advice do I have?

We did not find any issues. The clients who want to acquire this product need to change something in the security infrastructure by implementing MFA security authentication, like Duo, and so on. My overall rating for the solution is ten out of ten.
