Likelihood to Recommend Cisco Duo is extremely well-suited for someone wanting to add MFA to an on-premise Active Directory environment. Some of the other vendors in this space do provide this feature, but they do not natively support it. One of the top competitors in this space requires signing up with another third-party service to make this integration possible. Less moving parts for something as crucial as this is a huge benefit and having only one vendor to point fingers at makes troubleshooting much simpler.

It "checks the box" for 2FA, but there are much simpler solutions out there today that can get the same job done with less complexity and, in many cases, at a lower cost.
Read full review Pros Speed - it's fast with almost no delay between triggering the MFA request and receiving the notification on an iPhone Security - in addition to the added MFA layer, a simple, 4-digit passcode can be added to the authentication request Ease of use - it doesn't scare users. It's simple to install, configure, and use. Dave Brown Computer and Information Systems Manager
Read full review AuthAnvil is simple to use. Whether using an OTP code or push notifications, the application is user-friendly. AuthAnvil applications are easy for the end-user to install. AuthAnvil is readily available across multiple platforms (Windows, Android, iOS). Read full review Cons If you need to integrate some legacy applications to Cisco Secure Access by Duo, it's not easy. If you want to have more detailed information and reports, you need to pay more for the licensing. The basic option is not enough. A constraint could be that each employee has to install it on their personal smartphone, which some don't like. But, there is an alternative using SMS, although sometimes it takes too long to receive the message. Read full review Does not offer faster login for trusted devices. App requires multiple clicks to get to security code. App is slow to load. App was difficult to install and pair and confirm as a trusted device. That process took over 30 minutes. Read full review Likelihood to Renew There are a lot of competing solutions on the market; however, Duo "just works", and there is little to no learning curve for the new members to be acclimated to it. As long as that continues I see it as the preferred option moving forward

Read full review Reliability and Availability In the last 5+ years we've been using Duo, there may have been 1 outage that impacted us. We do receive periodic notifications of issues but, for the most part, they impact carriers or functionality that we either don't use, or do not care about.
Read full review Performance We do not see any degradation of performance of the protected applications. There are occasional lags in receiving the push but no show stooppers.
Read full review Support Rating Since it’s a reputable company, I have received technical support when needed and I trust that if anything else happens I can contact them with any issues. I haven’t experienced bad customer service and I totally feel supported while using this authentication method. No complains so far and the high rating!
Read full review They are very helpful with helping us with any issues. There are a lot of helpful guides online if you get lost. Kaseya is also good about not bugging you with notifications. Kaseya offers easy to access to support options. Overall I have not had to contact them over a lot of issues. The software rarely broke or was down for maintenance.

Read full review Online Training This was not organized training but the videos that Duo provides to teach you how to install a particular integration are top notch.
Read full review Implementation Rating Implementation was straight forward and you can isolate different scenarios in order to test new application setup or add to an existing setup. Gui interface is pretty easy to understand and follow. I had no experience with Duo and still manage to easily set up new policies and rules.
Read full review Alternatives Considered Our school is based in Microsoft 365. Azure has a product built into their licensing (provided you have purchased the appropriate level or the add-on product.) The MFA in Azure is a work in process and doesn't offer broad integration options as Duo does. We didn't look into any other commercial products.
Read full review I selected Passly at first as it would allow for a single sign on with azure to
Kaseya VSA . Kaseya has made access to different products very different. VSA does not have single sign on with Azure where as Vorex/BMS does. This is a feature that Kaseya should make unified accross all applications.
Read full review Scalability So far, the only limits we've encountered were tied to our imagination. Duo's strong list of supported integrations is amazing.
Read full review Return on Investment Very positive ROI given it is inexpensive for a small group and helps us secure our most valuable IT assets. Lack of extreme policy granularity results in higher administrative overhead, as there is no middle ground (i.e. MFA every time or not at all). Read full review Kaseya has allowed us to be more secure. It's allowed us to link multiple 2FA devices to one account. It's provided us with basic logging. Read full review ScreenShots
