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 WSO2 ESB is an awesome product for companies looking to venture into the world of SOA with an ESB. They have a lot of other products too that can work really well with their carbon infrastructure. The interface is simple for deploying and managing proxy services. You can also write custom modules within the ESB using Java with IDE like Eclipse
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 One of the basic requirement of an ESB product is that it should be able to support transformation. WSO2 ESB provides support of XSLT, so you can transform your request to whatever format. Moreover, transformations like converting your xml payload into JSON and JSON payload to XML are out of the box available. WSO2 ESB provides a scheduler feature, by which you can configure your own scheduler to call a proxy service at a particular time of day or or initiate sequence. WSO2 ESB provides excellent error handling techniques, WSO2 ESB provides detailed error handling scenarios to tackle all the situations. WSO2 ESB also provides custom error handling by which you can make your own custom error message before sending it back to client. 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 While it's easy to configure for a quick start, it is not so easy to deploy by yourself in a complex production scenario. Not very stable for production usage, we encountered several trivial bugs that make us believe that this product is still not widely adopted. Lack of a built in mechanism for auto-restart in case of an application server crash. 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 Lack of auto-restart built-in capabilities. In case of running out of memory there are no built-in methods to recover from a crash, just for example, Oracle WebLogic Node Manager.
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 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 Adding a server node is really straightforward, there are just few point in the configuration files.
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 Very well documented tutorials and case studies makes it easy to learn. It has a really supportive community It is fast and it can easily handle 300 tps of average use on a VM with 4Gig RAM Read full review ScreenShots
