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 solution is easy to use."
"The anti-phishing feature is the most valuable."
"It's easy to use for the security part, and it helps to improve our security posture."
"It's pretty easy for users to figure it out."
"The integration with Azure Active Directory and the AWS cloud is amazing, as most products nowadays require the creation of a customized integration. With Duo Security, it was more like native integration, and it took me five minutes to register."
"Multifactor authentication is the most valuable feature."
"Duo Security provides a high level of certainty regarding the identity of the individual performing an action. Whether it's logging into a system, using VPN, or utilizing Autopay, establishing that trust is crucial. I can't imagine any security company, organization, or IT team that wouldn't prioritize having multifactor authentication enabled when accessing critical systems."
"The ease of deploying Cisco Duo Security and onboarding has greatly benefited our customers."
"We use Venafi for PKI certificates."
"Automating anything, whether on-prem or cloud, is possible."
"The feature that I have found most valuable is their certificate discovery."
"We found it difficult to integrate it into our broader product family of Microsoft tools and other applications used across our organization."
"Cisco can further enhance the integrations, as they possess exceptional integrations with various providers' products and feature sets."
"More automation and device insights would be helpful in achieving a seamless single pane of glass. Having the additional capability to streamline processes would also make things better."
"I wish that the support would be a little bit more prompt and a little bit more flexible because there are certain things that they will do and certain things they won't do."
"The new smart license model doesn't always work. It's very complicated."
"From an administrative standpoint, I'd love to see it be a little better at remembering a device and location so that I don't have to continually authenticate. That's pretty much it."
"One area that might be improved is that setting up SMS texting is not as easy as using the app, even though it does support it."
"The only thing I can think of to improve for tech support is to have a dedicated engineer but then I would get an engineer that has priorities in one area or another and maybe not the scope I need."
"Venafi's overall installation could be made easier."
"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."
"Currently lacks the capability to automatically download certificates in JKS."
