Featured Reviews

Charles Slaustas - PeerSpot reviewer

Supports seamless authentication for users across multiple organizations and personal portals
The features I use in Cisco Duo include Duo Pushes to confirm my identity to the device, and eventually as MFA security was increased, I actually had to use exchange passcodes. Sometimes, I have to go into the site and get into Cisco Duo to retrieve the passcode, and many of them have been two-factor, where the sites send a passcode that I have to enter into Cisco Duo. It has been more of the latter. I have not seen issues with lagging or crashing on Cisco Duo's end; it was usually on the client end, often because someone set up a bad upgrade or there were connection issues with the Cisco Duo cloud through the administrative site.

Protecting sensitive data with in‑house AI has secured our intellectual property and guided safe usage
As I stated earlier, there are negative sides of the product because it literally made my job a little bit harder or a little bit longer because then I cannot use the AI which is already learned from ten thousand or ten million people throughout the globe to give me that understanding and better things. From my own background, if I put that, 'Okay, I am in this particular place, what I can do to resolve it,' I cannot do that because it is not letting me do that. So I am bound to one of the in-house developed and trained AIs. The machine learning aspect of Adaptive Data Security Platform has the potential to be better, and it is doing a little bit more in those areas already because if there is an AI which has already been there in the company, it goes ahead and understands from that part itself. It also goes ahead and understands certain number of other aspects from the people who are already using the AI on towards the public AI as well because it goes ahead and checks that this is something which is the context and it is going ahead and stopping the people or making them understand that whatever they are doing is not correct or something along those lines. Adaptive Data Security Platform is already having the potential of learning while being in use.

Dashboard has provided clear access insights but report analysis still needs simplification
Delinea Fastpath's dashboard is great and gives me a bunch of information right from the entry point. However, to get to the real substance of it, that's where it becomes very time consuming. I would say reports are good; they're mostly just an extract of Excel type reports, and then it's a matter of analyzing the data.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The single pane of glass management is very important and it is part of the reason we went with Duo, and anything we can do to save time for our administrators, help desk staff, and engineers, is valuable to us."
"The anti-phishing feature is the most valuable."
"The solution is pretty secure."
"All features of the solution are effective, particularly those involved in identifying vulnerabilities and updates."
"The best feature Cisco Duo offers is a very easy-to-use web interface."
"It's simple. It's reliable. I haven't had any issues with it."
"My total rating for Cisco Duo is ten out of ten."
"The benefit of the features of Cisco Duo is that it secures our environment; nobody can access or join the network without it, and Cisco Duo will recognize and ensure that only people who are allowed in our environment can access our devices."
"Adaptive Data Security Platform has positively impacted my organization by ensuring our data security and preventing unauthorized access to our infrastructure, while ensuring our data availability and security."
"Adaptive Data Security Platform is a great tool to let the user use an in-house developed AI which runs on their own servers rather than cloud servers."
"The best features Adaptive Data Security Platform offers include real-time monitoring and AI-driven capabilities, which stand out."
"Delinea Fastpath's dashboard is great and gives me a bunch of information right from the entry point."
"Fastpath Assure has positively impacted our organization by enabling us to identify loopholes in excessive access rights granted to different users, and we are also working on minimizing our license costs."
 

Cons

"I wouldn't mind seeing some options for remembering a device for a short period of time or a specific login, particularly for administrative engineering staff, as we may be logging in to four or five different services."
"Cisco Duo did not help reduce the cost of the overall authentication method that we have in our company; instead, it increased, obviously."
"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."
"With Cisco Duo, you have to do that, and customers complain about that process. At some point, you need to be technically savvy to understand how to use Cisco Duo."
"Cisco Duo has not helped my company reduce its overall authentication-related costs, as it is a cost above what we already have."
"It could be a little bit more intuitive when it comes to the sign-up process. I know they send out an email, but sometimes our users get a little confused. It could be an end-user problem, but Cisco could work on that a little."
"We had a lot of trouble configuring the password reset function, and as a result we now have a second channel that bypasses Duo to allow users to reset their password."
"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."
"A return on investment has not yet been seen with Adaptive Data Security Platform because it is unclear if it will even be used; it is still a very early phase."
"As I stated earlier, there are negative sides of the product because it literally made my job a little bit harder or a little bit longer because then I cannot use the AI which is already learned from ten thousand or ten million people throughout the globe to give me that understanding and better things."
"My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing has been that it is quite expensive, but with Fastpath Assure, we have identified areas where we are paying more for licensing."
"Delinea Fastpath's setup cost was a little high, and I think it has even gone up."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is affordable for what's coming to the table with it, but in this day and age, the cost is looked at under a microscope, and companies need to very finely define what is needed versus what is critical. In some cases, it might not be cost-effective for a company to have it. In a lot of other cases, it is the cost of doing business."
"I rate the product pricing a seven out of ten."
"The cost was reasonable. Licensing was pretty straightforward for a change."
"The pricing was a lot more than what we were paying for our previous solution."
"It's very simple. Its price is fair. We use the hardware tokens as well. You get what you pay for. In terms of licensing, Cisco has very complicated products, but Duo Security was surprisingly easy."
"It's a bit confusing because we're on a three-year plan with a certain number of licenses, and we've gone over that number. They told us that when we renew, they will add all these licenses. We've expanded quickly, so everyone's kind of scared because no one knows what the bill is with the long pricing cycle."
"My experience with pricing, setup costs, and licensing has been good, with no issues. I am pleased that the prices remained stable after Cisco acquired the solution."
"My experience with the pricing, setup cost, and licensing of Cisco Duo has been great. We've been there for 10 years. While we haven't gone through the setup part for a while, licensing is straightforward and convenient for higher education because student populations are included. So, we don't have to pay extra for it. We just pay for our knowledge workers, which has been great, and the cost is reasonable."
