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.

Centralized access has improved privileged control and now provides strong audit visibility

I believe StrongDM can improve its initial setup and onboarding experience for larger enterprise environments like Scania, where we have a lot of processes. Integrating different teams, access policies, and existing identity workflows requires substantial planning. Additionally, I think the dashboard customization and reporting could be more flexible for operational teams, though new teams find it manageable. Once the platform is fully integrated, it provides significant value. Apart from the onboarding experience, I would also mention that the templates for enterprise onboarding and policy setup could benefit from innovative thinking tailored to organizations managing large AWS and Kubernetes workloads. Enhanced customization in dashboards and reporting would further ease operations and provide better insights.

reviewer2804310

Lead Software Engineer at a financial services firm with 10,001+ employees

Journey orchestration has improved fraud prevention but still needs shared rules and better usability

The main improvement needed is that with the tool, you have to build rules for each and every application. There is no common place where you can write the rules and use that rule for all your applications, which is missing. This is a big feature that is missing compared to the other products in the market. Additionally, the SDKs, Journey Player, and other components are not business-friendly, so you really have to be technical to get into it and do those things. A non-technical person would find it really hard to implement and learn things inside Transmit Security. Even though it requires less coding, you still have to have some technical people in your team to really write the rules and integrate those rules into your application.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Duo Security improved my organization by helping us secure all access points within the company infrastructure."

"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."

"At the moment, the ease of use is what is the best feature for me. Once it has been set up and the security can hoc to my mobile device, it's very simple to use my single sign-on, get prompted for a Duo Security, push, go to my phone, accept the push, and I'm done. It's a very simple process."

"For me, the biggest return on investment when using Cisco Duo is my time."

"The ease of deploying Cisco Duo Security and onboarding has greatly benefited our customers."

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

"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."

"Once you break that curve, it gives end users a sense of security where they know that if they're trying to sign on to Office 365 or some other application, they need to authenticate with Duo to make sure that they have the multi-factor authentication."

More Cisco Duo pros

"StrongDM has positively impacted my organization by saving me a lot of time as a security auditor, because I have to navigate settings and configurations to check the presence of certain security controls in place."

"All of the logging is handled for us, including for auditing purposes. Looking through the audit logs is not a painful experience."

"StrongDM replaced the puzzle of different solutions with one single product, which made managing resources more efficient."

"The best features in StrongDM are that it is the easiest product in the market for this situation with easy access."

"I absolutely would say that the best features of StrongDM and what I appreciate about the solution is that time to onboard is absolutely minimal."

"StrongDM has positively impacted my organization by ensuring that every developer has access to cloud resources, which are audited by the organization, allowing us to keep track of who accesses what and control the access."

"By adopting StrongDM, we have achieved benefits such as eliminating our weekend outages, streamlining ongoing on-call workflows, enabling seamless migration with POC transitions directly into production with minimal effort, allowing our engineers to use their preferred SQL clients like MySQL, PostgreSQL, and Workbench, and facilitating compliance through detailed session logs and query capture for SOC 2 and ISO audits."

"The best features in StrongDM are the password rotation capabilities, which I think are pretty cool, and also how you can literally log in to any of the privileged servers through a single platform."

More Delinea Runtime Authorization pros

"Overall, Transmit Security has positively impacted my organization by helping us strengthen authentication without adding unnecessary friction to users, particularly around passwordless authentication and adaptive verification."

"Transmit Security has positively impacted my organization by improving the development of workflows in order to help the user experience."

"Transmit Security has impacted my organization positively because it is reassuring to know that we are building on top of a trusted tool, and we do not rely on developers that could make mistakes, and because it is an authentication platform, that could be detrimental."

"Transmit Security has played a major role for our organization, especially in the authentication areas."

"Transmit interface is flexible and user-friendly, which is important for our workload. Switching from one authentication code to multiple exposure or two-factor authentication (MFA) is seamless."

Cons

"When we try to sell Cisco Duo for any license, sometimes customers approach us and say that Cisco Duo is expensive compared to competitors or that the features are not as good."

"Cisco Duo is a fully cloud-based solution. It would be beneficial if Cisco provided a fully on-premise solution."

"I think the prices of Cisco Duo are quite fair, but the main problem is that Microsoft Authenticator is built-in with Microsoft 365, so everyone is switching to that and not using Cisco Duo because it is a standalone product that costs extra, despite the price being fair."

"We had a lot of trouble configuring the password reset function, and as a result we now have a second channel that bypasses Duo to allow users to reset their password."

"I think Cisco Duo can be improved."

"My experience with Cisco Duo's strong security authentication system is that sometimes there are difficulties, and sometimes users just won't be able to log in. We have to reset their password so they can use Duo."

"I have not seen ROI with Cisco Duo; probably the opposite, because it impedes productivity time to be able to get into the system. You have to authenticate and do your regular login and your Active Directory logins."

"I rate Cisco Duo an 8 out of 10 because I deduct two points since sometimes Cisco Duo is very slow, or when users are not able to receive the code very fast."

More Cisco Duo cons

"It would be beneficial to have better control and alignment between frequent updates and improved communication regarding possible negative effects on existing customer bases."

"We've had a few issues with the stability of this product in the past."

"Integration, however, is something which admins configure with StrongDM, and in that area, it can be improved."

"I think the stability of StrongDM is about four to five due to the occasional crashes that I mentioned."

"StrongDM lacks the capability for web application injections or password injections, so we need to rely on other tools such as HashiCorp for non-human accounts or DevOps scenarios."

"My thoughts on the pricing of StrongDM is that it is expensive."

"Additionally, StrongDM has limited MFA and passwordless options, relying heavily on time-based one-time passwords (OTP) or Duo, lacking support for true passwordless setups like biometrics or hardware YubiKeys, and it does not support per-session MFA."

More Delinea Runtime Authorization cons

"The scalability of Transmit Security is a little bit tricky. It is not easy to scale and depends on the complexity of my workflows and how many users I am going to support."

"The customer support varies, but overall, we are satisfied."

"The main improvement needed is that with the tool, you have to build rules for each and every application."

"Pricing is an area where Transmit Security could improve. The pricing needs to be more competitive."

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

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

"It was very reasonable."

"The pricing is pretty competitive. It's pretty cheap. Anybody can adopt it."

"My experience with pricing, setup costs, and licensing has been good, with no issues. I am pleased that the prices remained stable after Cisco acquired the solution."

"Duo Security is free."

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

"I haven't seen any information on the pricing in four years, so I can't comment on that."

More Cisco Duo pricing and cost advice

"The licensing is per user per month."
