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.

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.

Works

A flexible solution for application management, and facilitated centralization of our IAM

We use HelloID for ourselves and clients, so we need to manage a lot of client environments at once. Functionality to manage this situation is not yet available. When something needs to be changed with the sign-on policies, we have to apply this manually to every client environment that we have.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The two-factor authentication is valuable because that is the use case for which we are using it."

"The app has greater stability than rival solutions such as Google Authenticator, and Duo Push authentication is a valuable feature."

"The authentication process is very smooth and secure."

"My impression of Cisco's identity intelligence capability to detect and respond to identity-based risks effectively is that it's a great product."

"Duo Security provides a high level of certainty regarding the identity of the individual performing an action. Whether it's logging into a system, using VPN, or utilizing Autopay, establishing that trust is crucial. I can't imagine any security company, organization, or IT team that wouldn't prioritize having multifactor authentication enabled when accessing critical systems."

"It's easy to use for the security part, and it helps to improve our security posture."

"Right now, I do not think there is anything about Cisco Duo that I would improve; I have been happy with everything so far."

"The most valuable feature of Duo Security is the ability for the user to easily approve access. The application prompts the user, and they can see the location and the IP address. This makes it easy for the user to approve it and go through the process of logging in to the VPN."

More Cisco Duo pros

"It's a very powerful platform. It has the ability to do the usual stuff, according to modern protocols, like OIDC and OAuth 2. But the real benefit of using the platform comes from its flexibility to enhance it with rules and, now, with what they call authentication pipelines. That is the most significant feature, as it allows you to customize everything regarding the authentication and authorization process."

"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."

"The specific outcomes since I started using Auth0 include time-saving, more security, and scalability, which are the three things I would emphasize."

"Auth0 has the best support ever."

"We use this solution for authentication and authorization, and we deploy it on cloud, where it supports identity federation, FSO and multi-tenancy."

"It offers stronger security and flexibility with API keys, which are generated on runtime."

"Auth0 Platform is highly scalable, so it supports my SaaS multi-tenant architecture running on public cloud infrastructure very well as it can handle a lot of requests coming in based on the subscription model."

"The most valuable feature is interface application integration, but we haven't fully used it yet. We'll need it in the future for a few potential clients."

More Auth0 Platform pros

"The Single Sign-On capabilities are endless and we haven't found a single app so far that couldn't be set up for SSO."

"The thing we like the most is that this software is so easy to use; you don't need to be a specialist in Identity and Access Management solutions to understand the software and configure it."

"The most valuable feature is the option to use SSO from different sources such as Microsoft AD, ADFS, Azure AD, SAML, form-based, etc."

"By giving users the ability to fully manage their own workspace, while still being able to monitor and administer such actions, we can focus on new-business and projects as we like."

"This solution helped us with centralizing our IAM; it was spread out over many places, and now we can easily control who has access to which client or client application."

Cons

"Conversational AI in Cisco Duo is limited in its current application."

"Cisco Duo could benefit from improvements in certain areas that are important to us."

"Integration was probably the toughest part for us with Cisco Duo, as with any new product."

"The deployment experience was more difficult than we expected because we had some problems with the version of the OS that we have in our servers."

"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."

"Duo has some issues that we're trying to work through. For example, if I install it on a WordPress site and another admin needs to log in, they can't because Duo hasn't been set up for them. It doesn't appear that I can add permissions on a user-by-user basis. It's not obvious."

"An improvement for Cisco Duo would be a simplification of the licensing model since it's quite complicated to know what's included or not, especially now as it's part of Cisco Secure User Suite, and there are many modifications happening regarding the licensing."

"I think Cisco Duo can be improved. I found the onboarding was very difficult, even for engineers who have been using similar solutions before."

More Cisco Duo cons

"Auth0 Platform works pretty well, but ways it can be improved include the universally cited complaint that the free tier is generous, but the jump to paid can be steep for a growing startup."

"Auth0 support engineer could have been more descriptive on the infra needs for the on-premise installation."

"Our experience with customer service has been a mixed bag."

"One of the sought features in our company that we would like Auth0 Platform to improve is the adoption of new features and how quickly they are integrated."

"The pricing should be lower. A reduction of 20-25% would be great."

"Pricing is a significant issue we faced."

"I find it surprising that there is no access to a standard user profile."

"Even now, it is a pain to back up to an offline location or it is hard to back up everything to your own data center or your own location."

More Auth0 Platform cons

"I would like to have the built-in provisioning module improved."

"When something needs to be changed with the sign-on policies, we have to apply this manually to every client environment that we have."

"Sometimes it generates a username that is not unique, but at the time of this writing, it is not possible to generate a new one that is unique."

"Integration with other Tools4ever applications such as SSRPM and IAM would be nice."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I haven't seen it in a while, but it's at par with everything else licensing-wise."

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

"It falls in line with everything else."

"Duo Security's pricing is good, fair, and very comparable to today's market."

"Cisco's licensing is always a bit complicated to understand, but the price is fair. It could be more expensive than others, but the way they integrate everything, it has a fair price."

"It has a fair pricing model. I know they have different tiers, but it would be nice to have different types of licenses for certain groups of users in our organization. That way, we wouldn't have to lump everybody into one group. That would be also one complaint."

"I rate the product pricing a seven out of ten."

"Its price is reasonable. It is not highly expensive."

More Cisco Duo pricing and cost advice

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

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

"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."

"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."

"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."

"In terms of costs and pricing, this solution is worth every penny."

"Since HelloID is very reasonably priced, the return-on-investment is fast."
