## Reviews

### "Cisco Duo is more than 2-factor Authentication" — 5.0/5

> **Paul Henry** | *06 June 2024* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Duo not only provides 2-factor authentication but also provides security posture checking for a dynamic behaviour of an endpoint.
> 
> **Cons**: Duo is purely cloud-based and does not have an on-premise setup.

-----

### "Duo Security Review" — 5.0/5

> **Sebastien** | *24 April 2025* | Automotive | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Duo security is a must to have for double authentification, it is super simple to use for a daily use.
> 
> **Cons**: The interface is not super friendly but there is all the needed functionnality.
> 
> I use Duo security for 6 month but my society decide to change for an other app

-----

### "Duo Mobile" — 3.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *29 July 2022* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 4.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: No one will ever get in to your apps or info
> 
> **Cons**: If you need to get in, you won't be able to. I had a phone stolen, and then unfortunately lost not long after I got a new phone. I had my back up codes saved when when the first one was stolen - did not let me into any of my apps and the worst part is - they give you 8-10 codes to use for a 'back up'. When the first one was stolen, I was extra safe and careful and then I sadly lost that one and I could, once again, not get into a single app using my back up codes.
> 
> Overall, because of these two experiences. I am genuinely going to look into an alternative option and preferably leave Duo as a personal preference. I love how secure it is but it's not okay to have a safety exit that doesn't work - like come on?

-----

### "DUO Security" — 5.0/5

> **Tyrek** | *22 January 2025* | Mechanical or Industrial Engineering | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The amount of visibility on user authentications and devices.
> 
> **Cons**: Console can be a bit difficult to navigate through when looking at applications/policies.

-----

### "Outstanding MFA Security" — 5.0/5

> **Ian** | *18 June 2023* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Multifactor authentication has been effective at making users have to sign in securely to our networks.   Duo admin console is easy for our techs to learn and user setup takes a few minutes to complete.  The device and user management for sign-ins allows us to manage the authentication more effectively.
> 
> **Cons**: We have experienced the admin console inaccessible at times when there have been updates or outages.  The timer for accepting pushes doesn't always sync up correctly.
> 
> Our users and administrators have both given positive feedback with using Duo.  I would recommend to organizations looking to have reliable and secure logins.

Easy to use and deploy, Duo provides identity-first protection and deep visibility across your identity ecosystem.  \n\nDuo verifies users' identities and establishes device trust in any IT and security environment: \n\n- Multi-cloud, hybrid, and on-premises application support \n\n- Diverse mix of operating systems and deep integrations with leading technology providers \n\n- Unique use cases including supporting homegrown and legacy apps, securing third-party devices, and protecting Winlogon and RDP \n\nPaired with deep insights into your users’ devices, Duo gives you the policies and control to manage access based on an endpoint’s health posture or user risk level which can change between authentication attempts. By providing simple, seamless end user and administrator experiences, Duo dramatically reduces your total cost of ownership. \n\nDuo Continuous Identity Security combines Cisco Identity Intelligence with Duo Passport to stop identity-based threats and boost workforce productivity. Cisco Identity Intelligence adds a comprehensive protective layer to existing identity platforms and security tools. Gain visibility across your identity sources into multi-factor authentication (MFA) usage, admin controls, unmanaged device access, inactive or dormant accounts, excessive permissions, and more.  Duo Passport eliminates MFA fatigue by minimizing authentication requests and friction in trusted scenarios throughout the workday. After login, Duo continually evaluates trust for every access request based on adaptive and risk-based policies and doesn’t prompt users again for authentication if the context remains the same. \n\nPrior to granting access to critical resources, Duo verifies users’ identities with strong MFA. Duo passwordless and single sign-on (SSO) build on MFA to verify user identity with authentication tools like biometrics, FIDO2 security keys, and push notifications from the Duo Mobile app. \n\nWhile establishing user trust is essential, you also need to have trust in the devices accessing applications on your network. Duo’s device trust tools deliver visibility into devices, assess their security posture, and continuously verify trust to allow or block access based on access policies. \n\nDuo Device Insight inventories every endpoint and provides data on operating system, platform, browser and plugin versions, including passcode, screen lock, full disk encryption, and rooted/jailbroken status. Easily search, filter, and export a list of devices by OS, browser and plugin, and refine searches to find out who’s susceptible to the latest iOS, Android, Java or Flash vulnerability.  \n\nDuo Desktop, a native client app for macOS, Windows, and ChromeOS, enables you to enforce corporate device health policies such as checking OS version and patch level, password and firewall status, AV agent enabled, disk encryption, and management status.  \n\nSelf-remediation enables you to block non-compliant devices at the point of authentication and empower users to bring devices back into compliance without contacting IT. Set up security requirements that automatically notify users of outdated devices, with direct links to update to the latest software version. Provide a grace period before application access is blocked, or block immediately with permissions reinstated once the device has been updated.  \n\nDuo Trusted Endpoints helps you define and manage trust for every endpoint, whether managed or unmanaged, company-issued, contractor-owned, or personal Bring-Your-Own-Device (BYOD). Create your own inventory of trusted devices with the option to add and remove devices, include a description, set a trust expiration date, and more. For organizations that choose to allow access only from managed devices, Duo supports native integrations with a broad range of leading mobile device management (MDM) solutions.","image":"https://gdm-catalog-fmapi-prod.imgix.net/ProductScreenshot/6bf177e9-8503-40bc-866f-79ccc4024a9a.png","url":"https://www.getapp.za.com/software/105105/duo-security","@type":"SoftwareApplication","@id":"https://www.getapp.za.com/software/105105/duo-security#software","applicationCategory":"BusinessApplication","publisher":{"@id":"https://www.getapp.za.com/#organization"},"aggregateRating":{"@type":"AggregateRating","ratingValue":4.7,"bestRating":5,"ratingCount":548},"offers":{"price":"3","@type":"Offer","priceCurrency":"USD"},"operatingSystem":"Cloud, Android, Platform ios, Platform ipad"},{"@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"name":"Home","position":1,"item":"/","@type":"ListItem"},{"name":"Identity Management Software","position":2,"item":"/directory/675/identity-access-management/software","@type":"ListItem"},{"name":"Cisco Duo","position":3,"item":"/software/105105/duo-security","@type":"ListItem"}],"@id":"https://www.getapp.za.com/software/105105/duo-security#breadcrumblist"}]}
