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.

Partner Account Manager at a wholesaler/distributor with 51-200 employees

Identity workflows have transformed how we secure logins and manage user access daily

There are different elements to the best features Auth0 Platform offers, and I have touched on them, particularly the ability to help applications authenticate and authorize their users and manage their identities. A big point is identity federation, allowing connections across multiple identity providers, enabling users to log in using existing accounts due to databases and enterprise identity systems. A strong security feature is provided, particularly with their MFA, multi-factor authentication, which includes bot detection and brute-force protection, along with breached password detection, which is really good as an added extra. Auth0 Platform has positively impacted our organization, particularly in terms of usability. While we are not selling it directly, I find the platform easy to use for authenticating different users. Our own services team handles the implementation, so I cannot comment on the ease of that process. However, whenever we have had contracts and bids to roll out services, it has been really easy. We have seen improved security due to the implementation of Auth0 Platform. User management, such as creating and deleting users, is all about enhancing the user experience, which is massive. We assist with password resets and account linking. The time to implement is shorter, and we maintain a consistent user experience with a secure login flow, benefiting from a faster implementation due to the universal login, providing a hosted login page customizable by developers.

DevOps Manager at a computer software company with 11-50 employees

Gives us everything we need to ensure that our customers have a safe and reliable authentication system

It would be nice to have a export button to file with all tenants/users so that in case of a disaster we will have the option to restore the users from file. For security certifications, we need to make sure we can restore all of our products and data in minimal time. We are backing up the data using the API but it will be better to export everything to an external file so in case of a disaster or mistake from our side, we can have the option to reload all the users and assign them to the relevant tenant as fast as possible

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Cisco Duo has been very reliable from my point of view so far, as I have not had any issues with it."

"The feature I like the most about Cisco Duo is that it allows us to authenticate users before they can connect to our network from outside of our company."

"The feature that my organization started using more recently in Cisco Duo is offline authentication."

"The Verified Duo Push feature is valuable. It gives an extra level of security beyond just the regular push."

"The biggest benefit of Cisco Duo for my customers is the license because they count licenses for the user—one user can use many applications integrated with Cisco Duo."

"Cisco Duo is rock solid in terms of stability and reliability."

"I now have the Identity Intelligence feature, which makes me very happy, and it was indeed the big feature, the big step ahead that we achieved thanks to Cisco Duo."

"I would assess the stability and reliability of Cisco Duo as excellent because once we got it working, we have never had an issue."

More Cisco Duo pros

"Auth0 Platform has been working as expected, and we only need to scale our system."

"The measurable improvements I have seen in scalability, security, and velocity since implementing Auth0 are mostly that I don't have to worry about adding new features because a lot of features are available out of the box when it comes to identity-related features."

"The most valuable feature is that it is simple to integrate, irrespective of your codebase."

"Auth0 Platform is especially helpful if you are dealing with a customer-facing application."

"The most valuable feature of the product is scalability."

"Auth0 Platform has positively impacted my organization mainly by improving our developer velocity, which is basically the biggest one."

"Auth0 Platform gave everyone a single, consistent way to handle authentication and authorization across our organization, which reduced bugs, made code reviews easier, and made onboarding new developers much faster because they only had to learn one auth system."

"The best features of Auth0 Platform are that it is easy to integrate and is cross-platform, as we use it with the Angular front end, the UWP application, and the iOS application, and it is really easy to integrate within the dashboard without any complications."

More Auth0 Platform pros

"We like the SSO, permissions and roles, multiple workspaces, and react login components."

"The MFA policy via Frontegg allows us to enable/disable/enforce the Multi-Factor Authentication policy of our users and to enhance security and adhere to modern standards."

"The frontend side is a major benefit that I am happy I can give my customers from day one, without compromising."

"In addition, I was most impressed with Frontegg's quick turnaround to fix bugs and implement feature improvements."

"Frontegg's solution fits us very well, as it removes the extra work of developing, maintaining, storing, and securing all of the user-management platforms."

"Every feature is multi-tenant by design, making different customer requests effortless to provide."

"Frontegg enabled us to worry less about parts of the system that are not unique to our product, and instead spend more time developing out key value propositions."

"The admin portal layer is super useful and saves valuable front-end development time."

More Frontegg pros

Cons

"Duo Security could be improved with the addition of more applications."

"The only issue I encountered was related to the expiration of Duo Unix versions below 2.0.3 on February 3rd."

"I think Cisco Duo could improve the dashboard to make logging in and credential management more visible."

"We had some trouble with the password reset function."

"Cisco Duo could be improved, possibly by adding features for the healthcare space. If you're selling something to a healthcare provider, there needs to be consideration for how to launch Cisco Duo with a handheld device that is not native, where you can install the application."

"The reason I chose a seven rating for Cisco Duo is that, as I mentioned before, it's not cheap, and one of the key features that comes to mind is its dependency on the internet to make Cisco Duo reachable, which can lead to a failure."

"Cisco Duo is definitely not doing things that others are not doing, so there is no unique selling proposition."

"Scalability could be better if the price were reduced, as scaling is quite expensive."

More Cisco Duo cons

"In the past, there was an issue with the multi-tenant where there wasn't the ability to manage them."

"Better documentation for Salesforce integration is suggested."

"The price modelling is a bit confusing on the site and can be costly."

"The product support for multi-tenancy could be improved."

"I think they can do a better job in explaining what you're supposed to do next in order to correctly follow an idiomatic approach to using the solution beyond simply passing a JWT token to a server and having the server check then signature to validate the token."

"There are indeed areas where the product could improve. For instance, Okta offers various application configurations, enabling access management, which the tool could consider implementing."

"When they introduced the Organizations feature they did support different login screens per organization. However, they introduced a dependency between this feature and another called the New Universal Login Experience. The New Experience is a more lightweight login screen, but it is much less customizable. For example, today, we are able to fully customize our login screen and even control the background image according to the time of day. We have code to do that. But we are not able to write code anymore in the New Experience."

"The reporting in Auth0 Platform could use improvement."

More Auth0 Platform cons

"The web interface is missing a way to delete a workspace. I have accidentally created a workspace and was not able to delete it. It's a minor thing that should be supported."

"The PHP SDK is limited."

"It would be nice to have a export button to file with all tenants/users so that in case of a disaster we will have the option to restore the users from file."

"We really like the ability to add the same user across tenants. From a UX perspective, the flow can be betterized."

"We're hoping to see more user management-related features, according to Frontegg's roadmap."

"Frontegg is fairly stable, however, we are looking forward to some promised capabilities, such as more tightly integrated Feature Flag support."

"The PHP SDK is limited. It's not a huge deal as we can just use their web API directly, but it is something to note if you're using PHP.‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎"

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Overall, the pricing is fair. Customers can wrap it into their Enterprise Agreement, making it easier for them to solve their issues."

"During testing we are allowed a certain number of licenses for free."

"I only need the solution for IT staff, which makes it relatively cheap. If I deployed it for the whole company, it would be costly, so it depends on the number of users. Duo Security is affordable compared to other products in the segment."

"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."

"The pricing was a lot more than what we were paying for our previous solution."

"The cost was reasonable. Licensing was pretty straightforward for a change."

"From a reseller perspective, it's still challenging to explain the whole license strategy to a client, so we really have to be ahead of that for all the true forward conversations."

"Duo Security is free."

More Cisco Duo pricing and cost advice

"It is a relatively inexpensive product in the industry."

"The tool is cheaper compared to competing solutions. Those alternatives tended to be more expensive. Consequently, Okta purchased it because it was considerably cheaper. The solution even offered some free services while still providing excellent functionality."

"There are different price levels: B2B, B2C, and enterprise. The basic plan is about $1,500 per month."

"Pricing of Auth0 is a pain point. Their pricing model is very confusing, at least for an enterprise. I don't like their pricing model. I think it's too aggressive. It's not very cheap for a service that only does authentication."

"I am pretty happy with the pricing model of Auth0. It is very clear for me. Considering our scale, the features that we are using, and additional features that we bought, we still find it great. If you split the costs for the whole year and calculate the number of people you needed to hire, it always comes out to be much lesser than what we would have spent on building our own solution."
