We looked at Okta, and Okta is a great solution, but much larger in scope than what we needed. When we start our journey to identify/access management we will definitely consider them.
Microsoft was useful too, and minimal cost. It didn't seem to have as much support from …
I would fully expect a competitor like Okta or any other multifactor mechanic to function pretty similarly, and I hesitate to say duos the best. I think the idea is that it's a simple concept, but it does it well. So I haven't evaluated any myself outside of duo, but I'm also …
The organization chose Cisco Duo prior to the acquisition with its strong brand and reputation from the security community.

Chose Cisco Duo
Cisco Duo had an integrated method for handling MFA on Endpoints and Servers. This was a huge bonus. Administration and implementation seemed more efficient as well.
We use Microsoft O365, and it looks like I can leverage my existing license to save money by moving away from Cisco Secure Access by Duo. I am still in the research phase, so we might or might not stay with Cisco Secure Access by Duo.
When we were researching Multi-Factor Authentication platforms we also looked at Okta. Okta is also a decent product overall, but we just were not as impressed. It’s definitely not as slick as Duo. It didn’t let us in the server
the first time, but that could have been a timing …

Chose Cisco Duo
Pricing and simplicity put them ahead of the other products that I evaluated other than Microsoft. Did not go with Microsoft because I couldn’t see a way to integrate it with my VPN server.
There are Okta has that Duo does not have, however since my environment has CISCO solutions implemented and the service that we receive from the vendor and integrator is top quality, DUO was the right choice.
Okta had some different methods and features which stacked up closely with Cisco Duo but we went with Cisco Duo for the assurance that the system would perfectly integrate with our other cisco products and the ability to acquire support from one vendor instead of having to …
We choose Duo as we found the end-user interface much easier and more intuitive than other solutions. The push notification feature also worked very smoothly and was a factor in the decision. From the Administrator and security team side - the features and capabilities of Duo …
In my previous positions, I have used both Google Authenticator as well as Okta MFA for our dual security measures. I believe Google is very basic in its functionality and it had pretty limited functionalities to navigate complicated user access levels. Okta had multiple access …
As we were on Cisco VConnect mobility client, we felt the ROI of using a Cisco auth client would be much better even though when we took this decision, remote working wasn't in vogue. That's the main business reason for going with Duo / Cisco Secure Access, by Duo--a …
Duo Security has the ability to push a notification to your device where a simple Google Authenticator requires a rotating series of numbers. Duo also has the ability to use a yubikey to use biometrics as another form of authentication. The ability to use Duo to protect Windows …
Azure is free so with our Microsoft 365 licenses so that is going to be tough to get away from that. Duo / Cisco Secure Access, by Duo, is a better platform for both Windows and Linux.
Okta does offer similar solutions to Duo / Cisco Secure Access, by Duo, but Okta has a higher price-point from our initial investigations into which provider to use. The support that we received from Duo was top-notch and the ease of use really helped to decide which solution …
We use Duo security in partnership with Okta, so this way all of our apps, products, and software that we use have to be accessed by both Okta and Duo. This allows for great security when using both so we can protect personal and private health information that we might be using.
I like Duo Security a lot, I've met both of the owners, and I'm hopeful that Cisco's acquisition of them can propel them to the next level. I'm not convinced that will be the case, though, as Cisco has a mixed track record with their acquisitions. How Duo Security stacks up …
I think Okta Identity Cloud is just more of a complete solution. Whereas some of their competitors might specialize in one or two functionalities and [do] those things very well, Okta Identity Cloud provides a full suite of functionality and tools that is more of comprehensive …
I personally like Okta much more than LastPass because of how simple it is. LastPass I believe tried to get a bit too helpful with their chrome integration that pops up every time you try to enter a password on any website, and it became a bit annoying. Okta sticks to what it …
Okta came highly recommended and we have been pleased thus far -- it truly feels like the best solution in the market. A bit pricey -- but peace of mind often comes at a price.
Our evaluation boiled down to OneLogin and Okta. Okta had better API access, better application integration catalog, strong MFA options, and good directory integration. Okta's industry presence and growth in the market place shows consumer acceptance. The feature release cycle …
