We performed a comparison between Cisco Duo and Google Cloud Platform Cloud Identity-Aware Proxy based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two ZTNA as a Service solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The single pane of glass management is very important and it is part of the reason we went with Duo. Anything we can do to save time for our administrators, help desk staff, and engineers, is valuable to us."
"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."
"Multifactor authentication is the most valuable feature."
"It is a good solution for hybrid environments and VPN."
"It's easy to use for the security part, and it helps to improve our security posture."
"It's a lot easier for our end users to connect to our network. You don't have to type in a code. You get push notifications, that's probably the best thing about it. The fewer clicks they have to do to be online, the better it is. They can easily get into the network and do remote work."
"The push notifications and the integrations they offer are valuable. Their mobile app is very useful. It is very easy to use."
"It provides single-pane-of-glass management, which is pretty easy and straightforward. Because we manage multiple access tiers, it allows us to essentially manage everything from one viewpoint and not have many viewpoints for the same product. This is important because it is a time and resource saver. It also saves us money."
"Google Cloud Platform Cloud Identity-Aware Proxy provides more control of our assets because normally when you're using Google Cloud, you have to use your Google email. IAP can control the assets that only come from the dedicated company or IP address."
"We do not need to learn anything new to use the product."
"The product’s valuable feature is the ability to add a large number of users."
"The solution can be used for building the infrastructure on the cloud."
"Google Cloud Platform has the best feature for real-time collaboration."
"UI representation is the aspect I like the most about GCP, even more than Azure or AWS."
"The solution is easy to install and use."
"The solution has many features for stability and security."

"Duo Security should have more customized use cases. For example, if a client needs to have more customization, it would be better to connect directly with Duo's R&D to try to discuss the issues together in order to add customizations."
"Its documentation must be in French because we are a French-speaking country. They should also provide more training documentation. Its management interface should also be improved. They should also improve its update period. If I compare its update period with other products such as Palo Alto firewalls, this solution is really slow in updates."
"While two-factor authentication with mobile devices provides a high level of security, it's still not foolproof, as someone could potentially steal your phone. It would be beneficial to have information about the authentication location."
"For the back-end, there could be a few more security features applied."
"Sometimes, it's a little harder for customers to adopt."
"We use Yubikey for pushing it to the phones. Yubikeys can get expensive because people tend to lose those for some reason. Fifty dollars a device is pretty high."
"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."
"I would like to see some features simplified, such as securing, configuring, and implementing Microsoft Remote Desktop. Other than that, the solution was rock solid throughout my time administering it."
"They should include case studies to learn about the use cases."
"The product must be more user-friendly."
"Despite using GCP for all the resources, potential clusters on GCP caused difficulties."
"the documentation could be a bit better in terms of what is presented on the screen versus what actually happens."
"The solution is quite expensive."
"Stability-wise, the service could be improved."
"The product’s user interface must be more user-friendly and detailed."
"Sometimes, it just fails to get some documents, and then it resumes normally. Google should work to enhance the overall features of the solution."
