We performed a comparison between Cisco Duo and Venafi 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 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."
"The most valuable feature is the ability for users to connect securely to the office using the VPN."
"The push notifications and the integrations they offer are valuable. Their mobile app is very useful. It is very easy to use."
"Duo Security gives us an additional layer of security that would give us added confidence that our network will be less likely to get hacked, compromised, or otherwise."
"The two-factor authentication is valuable because that is the use case for which we are using it."
"The multi-factor authentication process and the geo-locking features are great."
"The administrator tool in the dashboard is the most valuable feature. It's really easy to quickly see if users are locked out from their device, firmware code, or just all the little dashboards and reports I can run to give the security for monthly reports. The dashboard's really good."
"Duo Security improved my organization by helping us secure all access points within the company infrastructure."
"Automating anything, whether on-prem or cloud, is possible."
"The feature that I have found most valuable is their certificate discovery."
"We use Venafi for PKI certificates."
"They can make authentication easier. It should be done in a shorter time. Sometimes, it can take a bit more time to get the answer on your phone. You have to wait a bit longer to get the SMS code and other things. There can be some internet or connection issues. They should make it faster because sometimes, it's urgent, and you need to access something as soon as possible."
"Technical support could be improved. I don't think all support should have to go through an agreement."
"They could just continue to add more integrations."
"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."
"I'm not a big fan of relicensing products every year or two years, but that's the model at the moment. I prefer to go back to licensing perpetually or permanent licensing."
"We were considering purchasing other products, like AMP for Endpoints, and it was not properly integrated with the firewall function. It might be better now with SecureX."
"Duo Security could improve by being more compatible with other vendors."
"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."
"I would like to see included in the next release of Venafi integration with the cloud HSM's, Hardware Security Module. Additionally, I would say other cloud services, because it's not only cloud that's essential. If you have a customer that has a lot of their IT moved into cloud, integration with different cloud services is always an area to improve."
"Venafi's overall installation could be made easier."
"Currently lacks the capability to automatically download certificates in JKS."
