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.

Centralized insights have transformed how we track SaaS usage, security, and cost savings

The dashboard provided by Zluri SaaS Management is the best feature. It is very intuitive and gives 360-degree visibility into all SaaS applications. The dashboard ranks usage of the application, provides real-time spending details, active user counts, and the authorization level of each user across each application. The most valuable features are the authorization levels and usage levels as they provide immediate notifications when unauthorized users access the application. This helps maintain data security, and real-time spend tracking proves useful for managing quarterly budgets and future planning. Zluri SaaS Management has helped identify inactive users and inactive applications, saving approximately $60,000 in the last quarter alone. This has directly impacted overall revenue, leading to a 15% increase. This was primarily accomplished through the dashboard and automated alerts that Zluri provides. Zluri offers AI integrations with ChatGPT, Claude, DeepSake, and others, but the accuracy of these integrations is not yet 100%. The output provided by Zluri SaaS Management is highly reliable. However, in terms of accuracy, the consistency is not maintained as of now, and more work could be done on maintaining consistency.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The features of Cisco Duo that I like the most are the simplicity, and the benefits of these features to my organization include security components and security authentication components."

"Cisco is the perfect product for our current size, and I don't think we'll have problems with scalability as we grow."

"It's easy to deploy. It's easy to manage. It's easy to integrate with other applications."

"We get fewer threats to remediate due to the two-factor authentication, which does not allow as many threats through."

"Multifactor authentication is the most valuable feature."

"I lead an IT organization that has a significant amount of technical debt, and we're not in a zero-trust architecture yet. I'm pushing in that direction. Duo helps me considerably with my identity in an environment where I don't have zero trust. It's helping me bridge the gap until I can build a zero trust architecture."

"It provides single-pane-of-glass management, which is pretty easy and straightforward. Because we manage multiple access tiers, it allows us to essentially manage everything from one viewpoint and not have many viewpoints for the same product. This is important because it is a time and resource saver. It also saves us money."

"The push notifications are quicker and easier than with other apps because of the convenience and reliability."

More Cisco Duo pros

"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."

"When comparing Auth0 Platform with Azure, you have to do a lot of things yourself if you want it to work and look and feel in a certain way, but with Auth0 Platform, that comes more out of the box."

"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."

"This is much better because everything is wrapped and normalized through one service."

"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."

"It is very scalable because it provides a new environment for companies based on their number of users and other factors. The tool can take a lot of users."

"Auth0 Platform offers excellent integration with modern web and mobile applications, allowing our brands to deliver new products easily and conveniently, helping them stay up-to-date with industry standard authentication platforms and facilitating the delivery of new features through straightforward integration with continuous integration and continuous delivery processes."

"Auth0 supports over 30 social logins with support for the major ones such as Facebook, Twitter and Google, and also allows custom social connections through their extensions framework, which provides a great amount of flexibility to solution architects."

More Auth0 Platform pros

"Zluri SaaS Management is a game-changer for access audits, truly saving us during audits with visibility of what software is assigned to users in one place, which has been extremely helpful for off-boardings."

"Zluri SaaS Management has helped identify inactive users and inactive applications, saving approximately $60,000 in the last quarter alone, which has directly impacted overall revenue, leading to a 15% increase."

Cons

"I chose eight out of ten because there are some features which we are awaiting from Cisco that they are building."

"From an administrative standpoint, I'd love to see it be a little better at remembering a device and location so that I don't have to continually authenticate. That's pretty much it."

"Improving Cisco Duo might involve alerting us about telephony credits when people receive texts. We hit zero at one point, and we were running around in circles without any idea until I discovered it. That's my only complaint."

"If I could improve Cisco Duo, I would suggest providing some notification back that the Cisco Duo system was not able to reach the remote device, because I was left in a situation where I did not know if it was actually my cell phone or something was wrong with Cisco Duo."

"I think Cisco Duo can be improved."

"For a non-prepared, non-technical user, it could be tricky and quite complex."

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

"We were considering purchasing other products, like AMP for Endpoints, and it was not properly integrated with the firewall function. It might be better now with SecureX."

More Cisco Duo cons

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

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

"The only downside to them is the pricing, which is a bit expensive."

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

"There is a possibility to improve the machine-to-machine authentication flow. This part of Auth0 is not really well documented, and we could really gain some additional knowledge on that."

"This is a costly solution and the price of it should be reduced."

"As your user base grows, Auth0 Platform pricing can become a concern in an enterprise context."

"Auth0 Platform has an extension in the marketplace to see whatever applications I have assigned to the user. It would be easier if, as developed in Okta, they had an end-user dashboard integrated directly with Auth0 Platform's dashboard itself."

More Auth0 Platform cons

"Zluri offers AI integrations with ChatGPT, Claude, DeepSake, and others, but the accuracy of these integrations is not yet 100%."

"Zluri SaaS Management has been a very great tool, though some application integrations require additional setup or validation to ensure usage data is fully accurate, which can take time during onboarding."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Cisco has the most expensive products because market leaders tend to charge a lot."

"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."

"Duo Security is free."

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

"Our licensing fee is currently on an annual basis."

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

"Price wise, it's not cheap, but it's not expensive at all either. It's in the middle."

"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."

More Cisco Duo pricing and cost advice

"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."

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

"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."

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

"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."
