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.
Read full review Lacework is well suited for behavioral analysis. One thing to consider thought is in the early stages there will be quite a bit of noise generated by Lacework. There will be a higher volume alerts generated initially - until a good baseline is generated. Overall Lacework is good with alert handling - integration with Slack is good.
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 Easy to set-up the agent in cloud workloads. Easy integration with ticketing and messaging tools. Detailed visibility of all our container workloads across multiple accounts. 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 UI can be complicated and hard to know where to click to find information. Ability to create and manage cases or tickets from events that trigger. 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 In-Person Training There was no in person training but checking the box was the only way I could complete all of the questions.
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 Compared to Sysdig Falco (the free open-source IDS), Lacework helps security teams by providing actionable alerts and a user-friendly interface that gives you an overview of all workloads being monitored, and detailed insights into these workloads if needed. Falco requires you to build your own integration and interface around it, including a mechanism to whitelist certain alerts. This made it harder for the security team to focus their time on potential intrusions.
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 Being a FinTech company, financial institutions who partner with us want to know that we are appropriately maintaining a Security, Risk and Compliance program that maintains a level of comfort for their vendor management. Lacework gives us the ability to monitor and maintain a level of security for our infrastructure that puts our partners at ease, reduces the revenue cycle for new partners and opens doors to the future.
