We performed a comparison between Cisco Duo and Ping Identity Platform based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Authentication Systems solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable features of Duo Security are visibility and OTP authentication. The OTP is very important because it is a self-enrollment feature, you are able to enroll users very quickly with a shorter time period."
"I like the set time that users can log into devices during the day and how many times they can do so. I also like the ability to restrict the regions from which the user can get in. Users outside of our country or even the town cannot log in."
"The two-factor login is great. I receive a message and just have to press okay."
"Regarding the valuable features, I would say that Duo Security is easy to use, has speed, and is dependable."
"The anti-phishing feature is the most valuable."
"The solution is easy to use."
"We get fewer threats to remediate due to the two-factor authentication, which does not allow as many threats through."
"It's easy to use for the security part, and it helps to improve our security posture."
"I find the auto-discovery feature the most valuable. It helps us automate a lot of things using a single password across applications."
"PingFederate gives you granular control over the settings. There are many options for fine-tuning policies."
"The most valuable feature is multifactor authentication."
"The solution is stable. We haven't experienced any bugs or glitches."
"It's pretty stable as a product."
"It is a stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The only feature we were looking for in PingID was SSO integration with our existing web app."
"It is a scalable solution...It is a stable solution."
"Certain customers can not use this product because it is cloud-based."
"Reducing or eliminating the "telephony credits" system used by Duo would be great."
"When you come to the push in Duo Security, there are some integrations where you have to use the code instead of the push functionality."
"The technical engineers in the first line of support should improve their knowledge."
"Duo Security could be improved with the addition of more applications."
"For upgrades, there should be a better notification of when they're coming out. We always have a testing phase, so we need to be ahead of it. It takes us longer before we can upgrade to the newest version."
"The product could be more intuitive on the app."
"Removing the need for a password would be a positive change as well as the ability to cover all the different enterprise applications. They don't have coverage for everything."
"The initial setup appears to be difficult in the beginning."
"The timing of the token validity, if it could be extended, would be great. I'm not sure if there is even an option to configure these types of settings."
"PingID should put a little more effort into making a pretty self-explanatory deck about their tech features and the services they offer."
"It requires some expertise to set up and manage."
"It has a long way to go until it is a cloud-based solution."
"The product is not customizable."
"PingID's device management portal should be more easily accessible via a link. They provide no link to the portal like they do for the service. The passwordless functionality could be more comprehensive. You can't filter based on hardware devices. Having that filtering option would be great. Device authentication would be a great feature."
"PingID would benefit from a better user interface for integration."
