Provides heightened security and has a helpful customer support team
What is our primary use case?
How has it helped my organization?
Duo Security has provided us with heightened security. That's the biggest benefit because, nowadays, security risks are big due to hacking. This solution narrows down a lot of things that we have to go through.
What is most valuable?
If you have to log in to something, you must go to Duo Security to confirm that you're who you are on your phone. From there, you go back to the app, and it allows you access.
What needs improvement?
When you come to the push in Duo Security, there are some integrations where you have to use the code instead of the push functionality. Sometimes, you have to go and push from the app, go to Duo Security, and then go back over after you've accepted the push. It would be good if a seamless web comes down, you press the button at the top, and it goes away while you're still in the app.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Duo Security for about two years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
Duo Security is a pretty stable solution.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
Duo Security is a scalable solution. You can easily download the app, log in, and you have access. Scaling is not an issue with Duo Security.
How are customer service and support?
Duo Security's customer support is very helpful, going above and beyond what they normally need to do to get things fixed and resolved. I can always reach out to my reps, who try to figure out what's going on to help me.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Positive
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
Since I changed companies, I can't remember the old solution, but it was probably some Microsoft solution. It did almost the same thing as Duo Security, except that Duo Security has the push. So instead of going back and finding the code, it can easily just push to the app, allowing you access. So it's a little bit faster to access your systems than having to find these different apps.
What was our ROI?
We have seen a return on investment with Duo Security because getting hacked once would cost us millions. So investing in a solution like Duo Security saves us all that money.
What other advice do I have?
Most solutions do what we're trying to use Duo Security for. It ensures a person has different access to the system via a different device like a YubiKey.
Duo Security has helped to improve our organization's security posture through reassurance in giving out access. Having something like Duo Security on the back end can help pinpoint who's logging in and ensure there is no random bot.
I highly recommend Duo Security because it's still seamless from my standpoint. I don't know how it would be on the back end, but it'd be a great application for any organization wanting to heighten its security on user access.
Overall, I rate Duo Security ten out of ten.
Best MFA by Far
What do you like best about the product?
The Duo MFA is an entry-level product, but it is so flexible it has integrations to put MFA into almost any sign-on portal or service on the market. A very simple to follow guided install journey for these services is freely available on the Duo website. Beyond the MFA product, there are several other higher tiers of licenses that build on the excellence of the entry-level service.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is very little not to like about Duo; so far, I haven't really found anything.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Duo has helped us to secure the edge of our network initially, from VPN access through to several Web Portals that are internet-facing. We then expanded Duo's use onto some internal systems where SSO with MFA was required.
Duo is so easy to use!
What do you like best about the product?
I like using dúo because it functions so well with apple. I don't even have to open the app to authenticate myself- when I see the motivation I can just hold down on it and approve which saves a little bit of time and I love that cause every other app is much more of a hassle.
What do you dislike about the product?
I Guess that my least favorite thing... I really CANT think of a thing that I don't like about it I'm sorry
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I solves the sso challenge
Quick easy authentication
What do you like best about the product?
I really enjoy the ease and safety that duo has to offer. The app integrates with my Apple Watch and allows me to approve deny authentication requests right on my wrist without having to pick up my phone.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish it allowed me to login for more than 21 days but I do understand that this is done for security purposes to ensure the safety and confidentiality of our data.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Slowing us to securely access our accounts via SSO and safely store confidential data in a cloud based system. It's ease of use makes it superior to its competitors.
DUO is smart and easy and keeps up with new authentication challenges
What do you like best about the product?
I like that the Duo staff quickly recognize and address the inevitable "holes" cybercriminals find to crash new authentication protections. Case in point, some criminals will send many DUO requests to a user hoping that the user will get irritated and finally accept the push request (this happened at my company). Duo addressed that issue by allowing users to set push notification settings.
Duo also has excellent user education tools and instructions that are quite comprehensive and easy to follow. Our work to notify and educate our users about our change to MFA was made easy since DUO provided the material for us. Well done/professional sort of documents and posters

What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing, really The problems we have had using DUO are more due to administrative or odd scenarios that DUO cannot address. Case in point, we had a foreign caller saying he was an employee and wanted us to update our records with his new phone number. If we did that without authenticating the user, DUO would have been hacked essentially, since the caller could then authenticate with DUO on his phone. This assumes that the caller has obtained the user credentials via phishing or dark web, which is not difficult to do
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Protecting all remote access to our systems. since remote access is the norm now.. Easy resolution of user account management problems, which lowers our service desk calls. User education about Security and MFA. An easy to use product like DUO makes switching to more rigorous security and education about why easier. DUO also allows multiple ways of receiving pushes, so our diverse user base/work environments can all use MFA
Duo Security integrates with the products of multiple vendors to provide MFA.
What do you like best about the product?
We can integrate DUO with networking devices for 2FA to login into devices.
The SSO feature is very impressive. It reduces the need for multiple passwords for different applications.

What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing specific, But I have loved the product.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Duo supports MFA for RDP logon on Windows devices and SSH for Linux machines, as well as privileged activity on both platforms.
Great 2-factor authentication for multiple devices login security
What do you like best about the product?
The ease of use and the variety of options to receive your login authorization approval
What do you dislike about the product?
That only seems to work if you're connected to a Wi-Fi or cellular network
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Preventing unauthorized logins on private devices and keeping information secure
Duo is a Great MFA Option
What do you like best about the product?
We use Duo to secure our VMware Horizon desktop environment. Setup and implementation were straightforward. I love how easily it integrates with Active Directory.
Even better, end-user onboarding was simple. End users found the system easy to use, which is the biggest win.
I am also a fan of how the product is constantly evolving. Communication from Cisco/Duo is great!

What do you dislike about the product?
There is not much to dislike. Duo has a great product with good customer support. I am hard-pressed to write any dislike here. I have not experienced anything that would be a dislike. As with any product, a learning curve occurs when you start using it. Once I was past that, I have liked everything about the product.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Duo to secure our VMware Horizon desktops. Duo is the second-factor authorization after a password is entered. The user has an option of a push notification to their mobile device, being sent an SMS code, or receiving a phone call. I love the options, as every person has a different comfort for completing their log in.
DUO Security is the reference product for fully integrating MFA into your business process
What do you like best about the product?
DUO has built the most complete MFA product I have seen. It integrates with a lot of other solutions out of the box, and for anything not already integrated it provides Cloud-based, AD-integrated SAML SSO and virtual appliance options to provide protection to even custom interfaces. This has allowed us to extend our security perimeter wherever our business demands we go.
The product is rock solid in responsiveness so we're not accidentally blocked from required access, and provides enough fine-grained functionality we can tune it to our business demands for maximum secure productivity (believe me, those two concepts are mostly adversaries).
MSP options out of the box, great centralized control dashboarding and responsive support.

What do you dislike about the product?
Having trouble making the minimum 40 required characters on this one. Nothing at all is wrong with this solution--it's a complete, turnkey MFA integration product.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our security requirements demanded MFA, and DUO allowed us to execute on that within days and without disruption to productivity. Users onboarded seamlessly and had no technical learning curve.
