Cisco Secure Access by Duo
Cisco Secure Access by Duo is recommended if you need to enable multifactor authentication with no major effort to implement it, understanding you have to pay a license per user. It's important to mention that what you are paying gives you a lot of possibilities to enable SSO on your applications, even legacy systems., there is no need to pay extra for it. If you are looking for free or cheap software, Cisco Secure Access by Duo is not an option.

Univention Corporate Server is well suited:
- If an Organization would like to use it as a complete Active Directory Server.
- If an Organization wants to deploy other applications which are important like SSO, Mail Server, 2FA etc., as with one click all these Apps will be integrated magically thus reducing the Admin job considerably.
- Web based management which will be quite useful for the Admins who are from Windows background only.
- Univention as a company which has close to 2 decades of experience.

- Complete replacement for MS Active Directory Server.

Cons
Cisco Secure Access by Duo
- An extra step to configure when setting up with things like O365 products whereas the native client would have been easier.
- At the time of implementation it did not integrate with the rest of the cisco security suite.
- Documentation was light or lacking for any lesser known products.
- Had to configure ManageEngine as a "generic app" when doing SSO. Really need to build out the prebuilt app's base quicker for us lazy IT people.

- As Univention is from Germany, lot of informative articles are in German but English articles are also good but less in number.

Like all Cisco products, it can be a little difficult to configure and use properly. Once set up, it works like a charm, and we rarely have to reconfigure it or update it. We do wish it integrated better with our SonicWALL firewalls.

Most of my support has come from the pre-sales side, as I haven't done much with post-sales support. The engineer was helpful, though it would have been even better if he had more production experience. Hopefully the backing by Cisco will give Duo support the deep bench that one would expect out of Cisco.

Alternatives Considered
Cisco Secure Access by Duo
I think that Duo is better than SecureAuth because the interface is better. I like the usability better and I like the design and functionality better. I wasn't involved in the selection process and initially didn't want to make the switch because I had heard some complaints about Duo but now that I have used it for a couple of years I would definitely say it is better than what I was using.

We have evaluated Zentyal and ClearOS but we found out that UCS is more suited to every Organization.
