"Regarding the valuable features, I would say that Duo Security is easy to use, has speed, and is dependable."
"It's a lot easier for our end users to connect to our network. You don't have to type in a code. You get push notifications, that's probably the best thing about it. The fewer clicks they have to do to be online, the better it is. They can easily get into the network and do remote work."
"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 and the integrations they offer are valuable. Their mobile app is very useful. It is very easy to use."
"They are users who, as mentioned before, utilize RDPAP and MDPAP. It includes functionalities related to finance, specifically in single sign-on."
"Documentation is the most valuable feature, and if you ever have to reach out to them with a question, their support is also fantastic."
"The most valuable aspect is the authentication and the SSO."

"The most valuable feature of Cisco Secure Network Analytics is the Threat Intelligence integration."
"The solution allowed us to not only get gain insight but also start collaborating with other tools."
"From a security standpoint, it is just seeing pockets as well. Visibility is very key for us."

"I wish that the support would be a little bit more prompt and a little bit more flexible because there are certain things that they will do and certain things they won't do."
"The dashboard needs to be improved."
"For upgrades, there should be a better notification of when they're coming out. We always have a testing phase, so we need to be ahead of it. It takes us longer before we can upgrade to the newest version."
"Duo Security should have more customized use cases. For example, if a client needs to have more customization, it would be better to connect directly with Duo's R&D to try to discuss the issues together in order to add customizations."
"Reducing or eliminating the "telephony credits" system used by Duo would be great."
"Duo Security could improve by being more compatible with other vendors."

"I would like the search page available with Cisco Stealthwatch to be more intuitive. The previous release was better than the current one for the UI."

"I would like to see some improvement when it comes to reporting."
"The version with the Dell server had iDRAC problems. Often, it reported iDRAC failure."
