What advice do you have for others considering Duo Security?

I would recommend Cisco Duo for its reliability, stability, and ease of implementation. I'd rate the solution eight out of ten.

The platform plays a crucial role in supporting our organization's remote access security needs by serving as the secondary email security for our VPN, thereby enabling secure remote access for our employees. It has continuously evolved by introducing new solutions and products to address emerging security threats in our industry, demonstrating its commitment to staying ahead of evolving security challenges. If the pricing aligns with their budget, I recommend considering Cisco Duo for its robust security features and scalability. It is highly adaptable and scalable, making it suitable for organizations of various sizes within the industry. Thus, there are no significant considerations to be made regarding infrastructure compatibility. I rate it an eight out of ten overall.

Cisco Duo effectively safeguards against customer factors, such as unauthorized access attempts or server breaches. It provides a high level of protection, ensuring only authorized individuals have access to the environment. I am confident in its security features. I would rate it 8 out of 10.

I would rate Cisco Duo Security an eight out of ten.

To advise somebody about Duo Security, I would say it works. It works. I have not experienced another security program like Duo Security. I don't have a way of rating it other than to say, I'm happy with how it works, and it makes my job easier. I'll give it a 9.25 out of ten.

It's a good product. We've been pleased with it. There are no complaints. I'd rate it a ten out of ten because I don't know what's better than this.

To someone researching this solution who wants to improve cybersecurity in their organization, I'd say that definitely give it a look. It's easy to set up. It was very easy for us to set up. We even had our Cisco team call us and make sure we had everything going. It was almost no effort, so it's worth a try. I'd rate Duo Security a ten out of ten.

Overall, I'd rate Duo Security a ten out of ten.

Duo Security's add-in value lies in its access security for establishing trust for every access request, no matter where it comes from. However, when I say "no matter where it comes from," it's not just about computer logins or VPNs; physical access requests are equally important. It covers both cybersecurity and physical security aspects. While Duo Security adds value to both areas, it's worth noting that it doesn't fully cover the physical security aspect, which is the focus of our integration. However, in terms of digital security, it is indeed effective. Now, if someone is considering getting Duo Security, my recommendation would depend on their specific needs and reasons for wanting it. However, if their goal is to implement multifactor authentication, then absolutely, they should go for it. Overall, I would rate the solution a nine out of ten.

I give Duo Security a nine out of ten. For those who want to enhance their cybersecurity, Duo Security is an excellent initial step. It enables individuals to eliminate easily exploitable vulnerabilities and embark on their security strategy journey. This journey cannot be completed in a single day, but Duo will assist in taking that crucial first step. For those currently evaluating Duo Security, I encourage them to take advantage of the free trial. They can sign up at little or no cost and try the product to assess its feature sets and availability. Utilize this opportunity to thoroughly test and explore the product and make use of the available documentation. It's an excellent method to gauge the capabilities of Duo Security.

Since I'm not an admin, I don't know how the device gets set up. The product is pretty good at securing our infrastructure. It protects everything and hardly leaves anything open. The infrastructure is secured. Duo Security cannot do it all when it comes to reducing the risk of breaches. It can probably provide up to 50%, and the rest depends on the user. Things like phishing emails depend on the user. There is nothing that Duo Security can't do. The product does a pretty good job of protecting the infrastructure. Duo Security’s user authentication and device verification are very good and very reliable. When we get a message to upgrade, we upgrade the tool. I don't have to spend a lot of time to get the device up to date. The solution is reliable for establishing trust for every access request. It definitely is able to establish trust for the identity to protect the infrastructure. Our organization doesn’t necessarily believe that all resources must be considered external. We try to strike a balance between convenience and security. We don't treat everything as external. We keep certain internal stuff that doesn't have to go through the authentication. The product increases the awareness of the employees about cybersecurity. Every time I log in, a Duo box pops up saying that I am authenticated and not leaving everything wide open. Try it and get a trial base, and then you will see the difference the tool can make. Duo is the first platform that we used. My organization did an analysis to see how many potential attacks we'll have and how much money will be lost if we do not deploy Duo. I am not sure about the metrics, though. Overall, I rate the product a nine out of ten.

Duo Security Self-Service Portal has significantly helped free up our IT staff for other projects. Instead of managing thousands of accounts across hundreds of SaaS applications, it's all in one spot now. Duo Security has probably saved us four or five hours at least. I think Duo Security does a great job of establishing trust for every access request, no matter where it comes from. It is very important for our organization that the solution considers all resources to be external because it frames the activity as zero trust, and that's how we run our network to zero trust across the board. So when you treat all resources as external, we want to lock them down every time and not just have random passwords floating everywhere. Duo Security will significantly simplify the life of someone who wants to improve cybersecurity in their organization, and they should definitely try it. Overall, I rate Duo Security ten out of ten.

To someone researching this solution who wants to improve cybersecurity in their organization, I'd say that it has been very beneficial. Overall, I'd rate Duo Security a ten out of ten.

I would rate the solution a nine out of ten. Duo Security can get spotty at the back end but it doesn't break. It would be great if I could use the product to log into the routers or switches in the infrastructure. We already have Active Directory enabled in our routers and switches. However, if we could do two-factor authentication, then it could go a long way since no one's getting into them unless you want them to. We are all for more security in healthcare.

Most solutions do what we're trying to use Duo Security for. It ensures a person has different access to the system via a different device like a YubiKey. Duo Security has helped to improve our organization's security posture through reassurance in giving out access. Having something like Duo Security on the back end can help pinpoint who's logging in and ensure there is no random bot. I highly recommend Duo Security because it's still seamless from my standpoint. I don't know how it would be on the back end, but it'd be a great application for any organization wanting to heighten its security on user access. Overall, I rate Duo Security ten out of ten.

My advice to you if you are evaluating Duo Security would be to do your research and compare it to other competitors. If you are a Cisco-oriented company, you will see that there are several benefits to using Duo Security. You will also see that it has the edge over other solutions on the market. On a scale from one to ten, I would rate Duo Security at eight. The stability and user experience are great, but there's room for improvement in terms of text message and SMS delivery.

I'd rate Duo Security an eight out of ten.

Duo Security is very helpful and fits what we were looking for to satisfy the requirements of our security office. On a scale from one to ten, with ten being the best, I would rate Duo Security at eight.

I rate Cisco Duo Security a nine out of ten. I would give the solution a perfect score if it were a little cheaper. Cisco is expensive.

Definitely take the end user process or perspective into account when trying to choose something. I feel like that will make or break a product. We did VPN. Network connectivity was a requirement for VPN. In that regard, it would be easy. I would rate it as nine out of 10.

Resilience security is all about business continuity. Resilience is an expected function of that, which is necessary and not optional. For businesses wanting to build more resilience, I would say, "Keep it simple," and fewer moving parts is better. That is one of the reasons that we ultimately moved away from Duo. Not because anything was wrong with it, but we could collapse two functions down into one. I think simplicity is really critical. It reduces the amount of time our staff has to spend on it, making things easier. Simplicity would be my number one reason for building resilience into an organization. It allows you to understand better how you are dealing with threats and more simply respond to threats. We are a valued reseller who works with Cisco and other vendors. We are primarily a Cisco networking shop across eight locations with 120-odd users who are mostly working from home or at least part-time working from home post-COVID. We have two major offices, a small data center, and five other locations, which are all remote access, using Cisco DMVPN. Microsoft is the application stack that we primarily use, plus cloud applications, and Juniper Mist for our wireless. I would rate it as seven out of 10. In the world of network security, it is outstanding and very strong. I have a lot of positive things to say. I think that it needs to be much more seamlessly integrated with today's application stack.

Fortunately, we haven't had to evaluate it when it comes to helping us remediate threats more quickly, but we're confident that it will. Regarding resilience in cyber security, two-factor is definitely a must-have. We're satisfied with it as far as that goes, in addition to it fulfilling our regulatory requirements. For our use case, for logins, it just works.

It is somewhat of an uphill battle to get users to buy into it, but after it gets implemented and they see how easy it is, it is a pretty seamless experience. A big challenge with end-users is that they see it as another layer that they have to remember and worry about. It is very easy to set up the application to get authenticated. Once you break that curve, it gives end users a sense of security where they know that if they're trying to sign on to Office 365 or some other application, they need to authenticate with Duo to make sure that they have the multi-factor authentication. If they saw a request come in and it wasn't them, they can deny it. Duo Security has had minimal impact on our organization, but we do have an increased feeling of security. Knowing that you have to have a certain device to authenticate into whatever you need to authenticate into gives peace of mind. It hasn't eliminated trust from our organization's network architecture, but it has added efficiencies to it. There are other things that we might put in place to make sure that we get towards a zero-trust model, but it obviously aids in achieving that end goal. It doesn't really provide single-pane-of-glass management. In terms of the security posture of an organization, Duo Security is not a one-stop solution for everything. You still need a combination of a lot of different security measures to develop the full posture, but as far as authentication is concerned, in that one layer, you get the authentication logs and easy integration with all different applications, and you also get some device insights and things like that. All of those together definitely give it points towards being a single pane of glass, but you need other security applications to make that holistic environment very security agnostic. It is one of the many key pieces that all organizations need, especially if they want to integrate with many applications. There are other solutions out there, such as from Microsoft, for multi-factor authentication. I would rate it a nine out of ten. There is always room for improvement, but for end-to-end authentication, it definitely provides a great mechanism for organizations in getting that single pane of glass.

I don't place too much value on any single product, since placing too much trust in one thing creates a single point of failure. This is just a single piece in a broader spectrum of security products to accomplish our actual goals. Building resilience is nice, but there's a point of diminishing returns when it comes to doing that. Part of my job is to help our leaders understand where that diminishing return is. The single pane of glass management is desirable, but it's like a unicorn. No single pane of glass is ever really a single pane of glass. That's something that would be nice, but it's not something I expect. Duo is a very consistent product and flexible in how it can be deployed and has good support. It's a product we're very happy with.

I would tell leaders who want to build more resilience within their organization to do it right now. It's definitely important and there are a lot of resources out there that can help them on that path. Duo helps with that. It does what it's marketed to do.

I rate Duo Security nine out of 10. Duo is a solid solution, but it still has some minor issues with adding users.

I would recommend this solution to others. I have seen it being used in large banks and there has never been a complaint about them. It is a very good solution. I rate Duo Security an eight out of ten.

If you're interested in using this solution, be sure to get the onboarding team to set everything up during the onboarding phase. Set up a proxy server if you can and get them to do everything during the onboarding phase — then you won't have any problems. Compared to the after-purchase support, the onboarding people are a lot more willing to just take over your computer and set things up for you. Overall, on a scale from one to ten, I would give this solution a rating of ten — it's the best.

I would advise others to look at the integrations that are available and see if they can roll it out to as many applications as they can. Encourage users to use Duo Push versus the six-digit pin code that the applicant generates. I would rate Duo Security a nine out of ten.

I would recommend this solution. Duo Security is the best solution for the cybersecurity challenges that we are facing nowadays. I would rate Duo Security a ten out of ten.

As a user, I would give Duo Security a rating of nine out of ten.

On a scale from one to ten where one is the worst and ten is the best, I would rate Duo Security as a six-point-five. If I have to choose a whole number it is more of a six. I have not tested all the features extensively, so I do not know how they scale. I work on generic RSA products, so I know about all the features.

I would rate this product a six out of 10.
