Duo Security Reviews

Helping us login on our vpn since we need this to work

Sometimes the login of Duo doesnt work and it is frustrating

What it does, it does extremely well. Don't get me wrong. The handshakes between devices for multifactor authentication are akin to Apple/Google speed. I was very impressed.

Anytime you introduce a product that literally requires another device to be present in order for it to function, but that required device isn't provided by the employer, you're gonna have some upset folks. Having an app that people HAD to have to access their computers/email/wifi/etc., that was only downloadable on Mobile iOS or Android, but not supplying those people with the phone that they clearly needed.. we got rid of it pretty fast. Better options exist.

easy to use, most clients were able to sign up easily

clients were unable to have their computer remembered and not have to log in every time, clients complained that the call feature did not work well with phone extensions

I like the identity and password management features
It comes with great multi-factor authentication features
It is a great cloud security solution for business

While using Duo Security, there hasn't been any issues.

Duo Security made it quick and easy to sign into the desktop computer and additional computer programs requiring authentication. It only required a fingerprint rather than typing in a number like other authenticators.

It would prove tedious if I did not have access to that specific phone for any reason, but that's probably the case with all authentication devices.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

I did not encounter any issues with Duo Security.

It's the best Two Factor authorization solution. Most convenient as I can use either my smartphone or a USB fob, as the 2nd factor.

Just like any two factor solution it takes much more effort than just a single factor login.

What I most like about duo security (considering it's application that basically has one purpose with a few different avenues of getting there) is the simplicity. It also is a bit more modern feeling than your email and text authenticators, which is nice. I'd say that this program, if you're looking into authenticating software's, is most likely one of the best choices, next to microsoft's.

I've randomly (very rarely) had my duo logins just removed from the app, and it is a HASSLE to get everything back ESPECIALLY if you are incorporating this into a business. You're basically having to prove duo screwed up to try to get your authenticating account back onto the program, without having it on the program, it's not super fun, but at least it doesn't happen very often, other than that, great program.

Using Duo security gives me the ease of mind that no one can try to hack my email and data . I know that using this, if someone tries to abuse the information and log in to my accounts, I will immediately notified.

One of the problems is that sometimes, even with choosing the remember for 30 days option, I have to enter the passcode on my phone every time that I want to enter to my accounts.

The two factor authentication option is easy to use and quick

It can be slow and notifications sometimes don't show up on my phone

It's a great app for cybersecurity and authentications, also works in different platforms

So far, I have no cons with using the app.

The setup after downloading the app was easy.
Notifications work.
Authentication is fast.

I haven't had any problems with this application.

Very wasy to use. No much more to say, it´s simple and works very well. It can be integrated with lot of apps.

Sometimes using WIFI networks take some seconds to receive push. I have 1GB optic fiber, don´t think so itcould be due WIFI. Perhaps it´s the handset WIFI module. When I use with mobile data connection it is immediate.

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

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

We use Duo for MFA, Desktop security, VPN security and they all work from an employee's mobile device.

Sometimes the connection between the user's mobile device and Duo will unlink which requires IT support intervention - frustrating for the end user.

I love the different options provided for authentication such as duo push, phone code, and phone call. These options make it more accessible to use the software. In instances where I can't use my phone, I can simply use a code for authentication. I also like that some sites allow me to authenticate just once a week as opposed to every time. Furthermore, I like how it can connect to my other devices. I often use my Apple watch to accept the Duo code and it makes it just much easier to use.

Sometimes the code doesn't work and I have to write down a bunch of code to find one that works

The push notification always on time and never fails to be prompted before login

I have not been able to identify any cons on the application

It makes log in authentication very simple. 1 click and I'm in.

I do not get alerts from Duo when I need to authenticate. I imagine I just have that option turned off and need to look into the settings, however.

The thing I like the most about Duo Security is the ease of use. You simply download and utilize the app on your phone.

This is simply another MFA application. It seems that different vendors have different preferences when it comes to MFA. I wish this was more consistent.

I liked the possibility of accessing my E-Learning profile in a safe way, protecting my data, with a simple click on my phone

I wish I could use it on my laptop or that I could press on authenticate without having to unlock my phone. It can be annoying when I am very busy or when my phone is not next to me

I liked the safety aspect of it the most. Duo security makes sure that no random device can get into your account, by making sure you approve on your phone.

The only thing I did not like is sometimes it would lag.
