Duo Security

Pros

Duo security mobile app is very convenient since i am working from home and have my phone on me all the time and it is very easy to use the mobile app you just need to open the app and it will show you the one time code for my computer login. And you can also refresh the code anytime if you get it wrong.

Cons

For my use it is very convenient and I have not yet got in to anyproblem using the mobile authenticator.

Pros

Duo Security is a great product to fill a very specific gap in infrastructure security, specifically for SSH management. For requirements for 2-factor authentication for SSH, Duo is quick to implement

Cons

Duo is difficult to enroll users with, which creates a significantly higher administrative overhead than other options. There are also significantly more delays in the Duo pushed-based notification systems (depending on the user and their network, etc.), which can cause issues for users authenticating.

Reasons for Switching to Duo Security

Pros

Our company switched Managed Service Providers, and we used DUO. When we switched over, DUO authentication stopped working. We had multiple users who DUO simply stopped working for. We and our MSP were unable to contact DUO support after multiple hours. I did get through to a person who put the phone down and appeared to be watching a video on YouTube in the background for about 10 minutes and then hung up on me. This had a serious negative impact on our business and I'm surprised that we were unable to get anyone to assist at all with such a business critical feature.

Cons

That when support is needed you can spend multiple hours on hold without any assistance. When someone does actually pick up the pick up the phone and place it on their desk and do not actually answer the call.

Pros

One thing I really like about Duo Security is that you can secure many things with the app. I mainly use it to log into anything that's school related, but there can another layer of security for other things like social media accounts.

Cons

One thing I don't like about Duo Security is how often it tells me to redo the two factor authentication. I get the importance, but it's so annoying when you're in a rush and you see that you need to log in to the Duo Security app to continue. It's even more frustrating when it refuses to connect at times.

Pros

The mobile app makes MFA less of a pain by speeding up the process by being able to select "approve" rather than receiving SMS codes to tediously type into a website

Cons

Can't think of any negatives, it functions fast and exactly how I need it to.

Pros

I like that it is quick to load and easy to use

Cons

I dislike that it can be hard to set up if you get a new device

Pros

Duo provides a layer of protection that companies need to keep their employees protected. Strong passwords alone are not enough to keep social engineering attacks and credential harvesting schemes at bay. This is why Duo is the product companies need in order to keep themselves protected.

Cons

Sometimes setup can be laborious. Users may have a difficult time with adoption, especially those who are resistant to change.

Pros

The best thing about Duo Security is its reliability and security. Duo provides great solution for 2FA, it is fast and easy to use.

Cons

I did not encounter any issues with Duo Security.

Pros

Easy and secure way to protect data.
I like that I can manage it from my phone.

Cons

I do not have any negative experiences with Duo Security app.

Pros

Duo Security simplifies the implementation of two-factor authentication, enhancing security against unauthorized access. With a user-friendly interface and a variety of authentication methods, it offers flexibility and peace of mind for organizations seeking to bolster their security measures.

Cons

Occasional delays in the authentication process can be a minor inconvenience when using Duo Security.

Pros

What pushed me into using Duo Security is their trustworthy. It focuses on business protection and solutions leading to an overall best performance. I have enjoyed a user friendly dashboard. Very customizable features with secure multi-factor authentication solution. Deployment went well and didn't consume more time than expected.

Cons

With confidence, I salute Duo Security and highly suggest it to anyone. Let it do it for you. Always there for assistance. I have no cons.

Pros

Easy to use. Love the access to this on my phone. Provides great security measures to avoid unauthorized log in.

Cons

Requires multiple log in pushes when changed from different applications within the same program. One verification per program would be nice.

Pros

It can integrate seamlessly with all platforms and apps of our organization. Easy to install, use, track, and recover from lost or damaged phones. It has push notifications and also alternate access via text or call.

Cons

Sometimes it takes a couple of times to sign in to a network.Sometimes due to poor data access on the end user part, a push notification doesn't come up although data is available, Which leads to a timeout. A little bit difficult in the initial configuration.

Pros

This app is user friendly and I never had a problem with authentication. When it comes to security? Top notch!

Cons

There is nothing that I can say that I least like about this application. When it comes to authentication app... For me this is the best so far!

Pros

It's an app that I have on my phone and so easy to use. I use it for work when I have to work remote at home. Whatever I am trying to get into as far as work accounts, its trigger's my duo app to make sure I am the actual user. All I have to do is hit accept in the duo app and I am logged into whatever work feature I am trying to use remotely. It's safe and protects confidentially.

Cons

The only thing I forget is that if you get a new phone, you have to re download the app and re-register your duo account with your IT department at work. It's easy to do, but It's not something I think of until I try getting in and can't.

Pros

As a result of the type of company we run, it is vital to incorporate multi factor authentication. The setup is easy, the platform works most of the time and the customer service is amazing as well.

Cons

So far, nothing that I can think of from using for over 1 year.

Pros

The most important thing about duo security is the fact that it works and it is necessary. It is always important to be secure with sensitive accounts and information and the 2FA factors make it a breeze to use

Cons

The fact that sometimes it is quite annoying to open and use 2FA. I wish there was a way that the device would remember or there was a way to lessen the security for familiarity based on IP

Pros

You can easily approve your Two Factor Authentication right from the notification or open the app to approve. Can have multiple Duo programs under the same app.

Cons

Should allow a login for easy installation on a new phone or tablet. Currently limited to only having on one device for approval

Pros

Being able to use this for MFA on servers/computers is awesome

Cons

Sometimes it doesn’t send the code like it should. However, thats just how tech is.

Pros

The product is very simple and easy to use. After the one-time setup to any 2fa-enabled website or application, you only copy the access code and you're in. The implementation with Canvas, which Oregon State University requires, is seamless. After inserting the university's login information, a notification is sent to the device of preference. You only have to click a button and you're in. This one-click access is dependent to applications that support it, otherwise a copied code is required.

Cons

For mobile application: The only concern is the application doe not have the ability to enable lock, such as FaceID or fingerprint. Therefore, other individuals could access those codes if the phone is unlocked.

Pros

I like the convenience factor most. Some two-factor authentication solutions take some time (entering a code, etc.), but I love how Duo has an Apple Watch widget that allows me to make a single click to authenticate. I also appreciate the simplicity of the UI. I also like the QR code pairing that some sites have to set up the Duo config. It's quick and easy.

Cons

I have no complaints, so it's difficult to write about what I like least. If I were forced to make a suggestion, it would be to make the mobile app more visually appealing.

Pros

I love how easy this system is to use either remotely through a computer or a phone. I never had trouble accessing my patient charts when outside of the hospital. It was a very reliable system.

Cons

I did not have any issues with the duo security system

Pros

Using Duo Push Login has been a game-changer for enhancing my online security and providing peace of mind—there is versatility and compatibility across various platforms and devices. The flexibility it offers makes it convenient for both personal and professional use.

Cons

Duo Push Login relies on having a compatible mobile device and an active internet connection. If I misplace or lose my device, or if it runs out of battery, I may need help accessing my accounts or be unable to access them all together.

Pros

Duo is simple to use, user friendly, and does all that is needed for authentication. I work with multiple large organizations that have chosen to use it for their employees. It is easy to pair duo with new organizations as well.

Cons

So many authentication apps exist, that it is hard to distinguish between them. Duo works great, but so does basically every other authentication method in the app store.

Pros

Duo Security is very user-friendly, and it is used for authentication. It is easy to install and use. We have login either through password or push

Cons

Sometimes push will not work properly, and the password will not work if we take more time
