Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Cisco, Fortinet and others in Authentication Systems."The app has greater stability than rival solutions such as Google Authenticator, and Duo Push authentication is a valuable feature."
"The ability for users to authenticate via phone, from any random phone number, has been very helpful for managing a distributed workforce. Using it across a distributed network for securing access to our applications is big for us."
"It is a good solution for hybrid environments and VPN."
"For me and my customers, the best feature is that it's very easy to integrate with the existing infrastructure. It takes a few minutes to configure it."
"The most valuable feature is the ability for users to connect securely to the office using the VPN."
"The flexibility is the most valuable feature. We use it for the app on the phone. When we're at different locations, the phone is usually there, so we can use that. It has just been a very flexible option."
"It's easy to use for the security part, and it helps to improve our security posture."
"It has definitely reduced embedding. We found a lot of problems with attackers being able to compromise accounts. Now, when they try to access accounts, they are not able to do so because there is an added layer of protection. Once we know that a username and password are compromised, we just reset the password to protect the company."
"OneSpan Digipass is very useful, easy to use and work with."
"Duo has some issues that we're trying to work through. For example, if I install it on a WordPress site and another admin needs to log in, they can't because Duo hasn't been set up for them. It doesn't appear that I can add permissions on a user-by-user basis. It's not obvious."
"I'd like to see it integrated into other applications. I know there are some integrations, but I haven't been able to explore that any further."
"The only time I really had some negative feedback for them was about the UI of their mobile app, but they improved it in the last version. It is good on the functionality side, but their pricing model is a little bit weird. Currently, there is no price advantage in signing up for yearly contracts. If you are on a monthly term or a yearly contract, you basically pay the same price, and that is very unusual. Normally, there is a discount when someone signs up for the 12-month system."
"Reducing or eliminating the "telephony credits" system used by Duo would be great."
"Duo Security should better organize its tile feature to organize applications better."
"The technical engineers in the first line of support should improve their knowledge."
"Sometimes, it's a little harder for customers to adopt."
"It already integrates with lots of products, but it can integrate with more products. There should be easy integration with Cisco products because sometimes, it can be quite complicated."
"At times, when the user is trying to scan and activate the license, it comes up with an error code."
