Duo Security

Pros: Duo has made it easy for our company to use 2FA across several of our services. It's easy to implement and easy to manage. Duo integrates easily with 3rd party applications and services. Users can use multiple ways to authenticate to Duo.

Cons: Push notifications to Cellphones can be spotty if a user has poor cell reception. Not necessarily a failure on Duo's part but it should be considered if you are going to use the App Push for authentication.

Overall: We wanted a 2FA solution for our VPN and password management solutions. Duo integrates with both. We also needed a 2FA solution that can be used by a wide variety of users. We have many remote users so being able to authenticate via app, text, or phone call makes it easy for all of our users to gain access in a way that is secure and available to them.

Pros: Security Features, Ease of Use, Apps

Cons: Their website is not easy to use because there are so many features available, which might be overwhelming to someone not familiar with it

Overall: Ever since I've started using DuoSecurity to access my website admin interface, I haven't had any breaches in security and I feel safer knowing that hackers can't access my website easily.

I've been using DuoSecurity for several years now and offer it as part of my Security Packages when I launch a client's website, because it's a quick setup and for ease of mind.

I use an app on my iPhone that sends me a notification when I go to log in to my site, allowing me to "Approve" or "Disapprove" access to the site's admin interface easily. I also use it to access other accounts online that allow for a Code to be entered, giving me that piece of mind that my personal information is secure.

Highly recommended!

Recommendations to other buyers: None.

Pros: I think it keeps accounts really secure because you can set up the account to be able to send push requests to a finite amount of devices. It's also pretty easy to use because you just press one button and it works very quickly to grant/deny access.

Cons: The 6-digit passcodes that are there that you can regenerate whenever you want are a bit confusing and it's hard to know what those entail. This could be a problem with the school system but it would be helpful if Duo gave some sort of instructions when downloading the app.

Pros: I use this as an inbound sales marketer for Carnival Cruise Lines and thoroughly loved it I had no issues with my computer whether I was working or not it did not allow any viruses to get through and no breach of security

Cons: That I had to help make sure my cell phone was right there to confirm my signing in

Overall: I had no issues with Duo security the company I was with I was taking credit cards and personal information and I had no breach of any sort no one getting in and no information getting out so overall it was an awesome experience and if we get back to doing that on our construction side that is definitely a program I would use again and definitely refer others to

Pros: Duo integrates out of the box with a lot of SaaS systems, and it is easy to set up for users. For unsupported SaaS, or in house apps, it possible to set up a lightweight agent running locally on your network that will extend 2fa functionality to unsupported systems. This agent is easy to set up.

Cons: Onboarding users onto the platform in bulk is a bit of a challenge. I wish there was more instructional resources for introducing the product to the company. Sometimes the app freezes when the user is expecting a push, and therefore they are unable to complete the 2fa process.

Pros: We go to Duo after Clef closed shop - Clef was ridiculously easy to use. After trying three other options (dismal failures) we hit on Duo and it has been perfect since. It works fast every time and has good supporting documentation available online. Authentication options are all good and they are all fast, pretty much instantaneous. Duo is well worth it for the peace of mind knowing the website has this layer of security in place.

Cons: Some difficulty getting re-set when I upgraded my phone; followed the simple instructions and had to do it all over a couple of times before it finally "took". Could have just been me, I wouldn't consider this as a real con, more likely user error.

Pros: It is very good that it is compatible with Apple Watchcon. The design is very intuitive and has an excellent Interfax, you do not need training to use it. In addition, the documentation they provide is well written. Support is quick answer any question. The end-user experience is very simple and easy. The product works and they have given us great support by bringing systems online. DOU is the best product I found in the market.

Cons: I'm just saying it's expensive. It is the only bad thing that this product has. I think we are getting all the quality we want ... DOU is necessary for the company and I do not regret using it.

Overall: DOU was a great choice in everything. Compared to some of the other multi-factor platforms, this is by far the easiest to manage and configure. This product gave the company a clear and clear documentation, which reflected its platform as one of the best. It is the best choice.

Pros: The software is easy to use for endusers via the app. It supports fingerprint authentication. It integrates quickly with a on-perm and SaaS solutions.

Cons: The initial setup for endusers can be a bit cumbersome for other platforms than iOS and Android.

Pros: I liked the fact that you are able to authinicate in a two step process, this gives more security to the clients as well.

Cons: I had to go to the administrator to send me a reactivation link because I quit receiving push notifications. I wish the company would have enabled the self service portal,as I would have been able to resolved the issue on my own.

Overall: the benefits that I got through this software was feeling more secure in the work environment, this is assurance that the client is using the appropriate security that is needed.

Pros: I like that I can have multiple devices registered. This helps me have access to my college websites from whichever device I currently have at the time. I do also like that it remembers my device for 30 days.

Cons: I do not like that sometimes I am not able to verify myself on my cell phone. Sometimes switching from Safari to the mobile app to verify would disrupt the verification process for some reason. It would say the "push" was no longer valid and I could verify myself after that.

Pros: I like that I know the services Duo is protecting are actually being protected and nobody is going to be logging into my accounts. I like how you can click on the SAVE FOR 30 DAYS button on a specific device so you don't have to get permission every time.

Cons: I get my Duo security access on my phone which is nice because I have my phone with me most of the time. However, on a few occasion I haven't had my phone with me and then I'm not able to log into my stuff. ANNOYING!

Pros: We have a lot of security restraints within our company so Duo makes it easy to work remotely. They have an app that lets you get a secure code to login on your computer in order to get access to all the files without a security breach.

Cons: Besides the manual set up, there aren't any cons that would make our company switch to a different security software.

Overall: Our whole marketing team has gained the benefit of working remotely due to this trustworthy security software.

Pros: We don't use Duo for our own purposes. We have several clients that use it, and therefore we have to also use it. So, for us, it's just an extra step that can sometimes be frustrating if the right people don't have access (i.e. I receive a push and I need to approve it for someone else, but I don't have my phone on me so they aren't able to log in).

Cons: It's a bit difficult to set up and get going. Adding users can be complicated depending on how the individual accounts are configured.

Pros: ZWorks on all platforms: iOS, Drois, Windows, Blackberry. Keeps your accounts safe with this single tap authorization app.

Cons: Found that the 'remember me for 30 days" option doesn't always work esp on Windows devices. At times it can be a lag in the time the push notification arrives.

Pros: Duo is a very small non invasive two factor authorization for logins which works great instead of phone calls, emails and SMs messages sent to an user. You just install and in two clicks you have a short fast code.

Cons: Maybe the option to add it two other services yourself and not just through corporate channels. Would be a great two factor authorization for sharing Uber trips, Amazon wishlists, email logins, and so on.

Pros: I like how easy it is to use for two factor authentication. I've been somewhat involved in the setup and administration of Duo, including its integration with F5 Access Policy Manager, and it's pretty smooth.

Cons: Most of the time the user setup is easy, but sometimes the explanations of what to do for the user can be confusing.

Overall: It helps my organization protect sensitive digital assets by providing another means of authentication of the user.

Pros: Easy to install on cellphone.

Very user friendly.

Easy to operate and really smart and effective way of two way authentication.

Duo Security, additional accounts can be added and managed simultaneously. Adding accounts is also easy, simply point the device at the generated QR code.

Authentication occurs right away you don't have to wait for more than 1 sec.

Cons: Fingerprint feature can be added as a good security feature.

If you switch your cellphone and download Duo application again it will again require re-activation.

Pros: It gets the job done whenever I have to log in to one of several services. In comparison to other authentication services, this is pretty decent- not the best, not the worst.

Cons: It works , but the design of the mobile app is not really modern. It also does not look like a native iOS app, but rather like a custom-made product, in a negative way.

Pros: The software allows me, as a user, to log into my protective medical records and email outside of the hospital.

Cons: There is sometimes a time lapse when sending a "signal" to allow access.

Overall: Duo allows information to have an extra layer of protection. It allows users to access their emails that are protected outside of the hospital and healthcare system. It makes my workflow, as a user, convenient, fast, and protected.

Pros: It's easy to set up and it's really convenient that it supports multiple devices and platforms. Very clean and intuitive interface. Also like the option of giving you a push or a passcode. Used it at two different jobs and never had an issue with it.

Cons: Sometimes the push doesn't show up in my phone's notifications, but otherwise it's great.

Pros: What I like most about Duo is how it gives you options for your security checks. If I forget my phone or don't have my laptop I am still able to a different option.

Cons: What I like least about this software is that I actually have to use it. It is a great tool and works fine but it makes logging in an inconvenience.

Pros: Ease of use, especially generating security codes and copying those codes into network connecting software

Cons: I have not found any significant downside to this software

Pros: My university uses this for extra security for its students and faculty. It provides affirmation from the user before the website displays sensitive information to the viewer. It's very clear to understand and states directly to the user what is taking place.

Pros: There's not much to it but it gets the job done. I can easily access the accounts that require double authentication.

Cons: The interface could be more appealing, but really I have no complaints.

Overall: Never had any problems with it! Glad that it provides extra security.

Pros: Easy to add an account and link services. Seems to have API and integrations for a lot of services that are popular.

Cons: I dont have any major complaints. The UI is simple yet effective and for what it does, it does it well. No complaints.

Overall: Effective MFA solution for services that we are required to use MFA for.
