Featured Reviews

Charles Slaustas - PeerSpot reviewer
Information Technology Contractor at Insight global
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.

Offers ease to users in the area of authentication management
Speaking about Clerk.com and how it handles data security and user privacy, I would say that the security features are managed by another team in my company, and they are the ones who know how it works. I am confident that so far, I haven't got any complaints of any data leaks. I don't really know the specifics of how the security is implemented. Even if I consider the documents I got with the product, I would say that I really don't know how it works. If one is managing the integration process associated with the product for the first time, then one may face some challenges. If you have done it a couple of times, then it is going to be the same thing for you, meaning that you will be basically doing the same thing in multiple apps. Only the first time I had to face some challenges, going to which I had to go through some tutorials and YouTube videos to be able to figure out the product I would want to tell others to either go big or go home. I recommend the product to other people. I rate the tool an eight out of ten.
