Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Cisco Secure solutions are great for detecting and remediating threats across our infrastructure from end to end. The integration of Talos in SecureX is great. Everything is clear in one dashboard. You have a dashboard there, your dashboard, and now you can have one look in your dashboard and see everything. It's on one pane of glass.""Documentation is the most valuable feature, and if you ever have to reach out to them with a question, their support is also fantastic.""It was a simple way of providing two-factor authentication for remote access when we hit the COVID pandemic. It was very easy and quick to get it going.""Multifactor authentication and secure two-factor authentication are the most valuable features. It's been around for a while, but now it's becoming an enforced behavior as opposed to something that you used to do as optional.""It is really scalable. It is easy once you get an application in. You can import users from Active Directory and enroll users really fast.""The most valuable features of Duo Security are visibility and OTP authentication. The OTP is very important because it is a self-enrollment feature, you are able to enroll users very quickly with a shorter time period.""The solution is easy to use.""It's easy to deploy. It's easy to manage. It's easy to integrate with other applications."

"We do not need to learn anything new to use the product.""The most valuable feature of the solution is that it is easy to use.""I like Google Cloud IAP because it is easy to use and stable.""Scalability-wise, it is a great product.""The app provides ready-made services that we can talk to without issue.""There is a certain accessibility feature that I can set using a cloud identity, which is really valuable to us.""It is a stable solution.""The platform’s most valuable features include storage, machine, and cloud functionality."

Cons
"Duo Security could improve by being more compatible with other vendors.""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 better organize its tile feature to organize applications better.""Certain customers can not use this product because it is cloud-based.""One area that might be improved is that setting up SMS texting is not as easy as using the app, even though it does support it.""There might be a little slowness, but that could be my connection.""Integration between Duo Security and FTDs needs improvement. Integrating Next Generation Firewall safety with Duo Security currently requires a proxy agent between Active Directory and the appliance. It's an additional factor that we need to think about. It would be great to have direct integration with FTD so that we don't have to worry about middleware products. For the rest of the Cisco Secure solutions, the APIs need improvement.""The new smart license model doesn't always work. It's very complicated."

More Cisco Duo Cons →

"I think that the solution needs to be made available in a local region of every country, especially in countries like Taiwan.""Google is not well supported in France.""As an individual developer, I would like Google Cloud IAP to offer more flexibility, especially for smaller-scale usage.""Sometimes, it just fails to get some documents, and then it resumes normally. Google should work to enhance the overall features of the solution.""The UI of the solution is an area with certain shortcomings where improvements are required.""The product’s migration process could be easier to understand.""There are certain shortcomings with the product's stability where improvements are required.""The solution's AI integration could be improved."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "During testing we are allowed a certain number of licenses for free."
  • "Its price is reasonable. It is not highly expensive."
  • "Their pricing model is a little bit weird. Currently, there is no price advantage in signing up for yearly contracts. There are no additional costs to the standard licensing costs."
  • "Our licensing fee is currently on an annual basis."
  • "The licensing is very good because it does not cost a lot of money. It's affordable for all-sized customers, including enterprises. There is an additional cost for premium support."
  • "Duo Security is free."
  • "With regard to pricing, for a small business buying a one off, it's pretty expensive. If it's an enterprise that has thousands of employees, however, it's really nothing to protect your data because if your network goes down or it's breached, you're losing millions of dollars every minute. When it comes to a large enterprise, it's priced where it should be because you're talking business to business. You're not talking business to consumer."
  • "Price wise, it's not cheap, but it's not expensive at all either. It's in the middle."
  • More Cisco Duo Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "I think that the cost is metered based on the data, but I don't have the details."
  • "Its price is good. For each server, we are saving $300 a month. We have at least thousands of servers. It is a huge cost reduction for us."
  • "The customer purchases an annually sponsored license."
  • "I think the price of Google Cloud Platform is reasonable. However, Microsoft is the most cost-effective solution for us because of Azure's integration. And we already have licenses for Windows Server and the databases, so the price is attractive."
  • "When comparing the price of GCP to other solutions it provides more value for the money."
  • "The licensing costs us $100,000 so pricing could be better."
  • "It is expensive to scale up the solution."
  • "The solution is inexpensive for personal use."

    Overview

    Cisco Duo is a cloud-based access management platform that secures access to all applications, for any user and device, from anywhere. It’s designed to be both easy to use and deploy, while providing complete endpoint visibility and control.

    Duo verifies users' identities with strong passwordless authentication and industry-leading multi-factor authentication. Paired with deep insights into your users’ devices, Duo gives you the policies and control you need to limit access based on endpoint or user risk. Users get a consistent login experience with Duo's single sign-on that delivers centralized access to both on-premises and cloud applications.

    With Duo, you can protect against compromised credentials and risky devices, as well as unwanted access to your applications and data. This combination of user and device trust builds a strong foundation for a zero trust security model.

    Google’s mission is to organize the world‘s information and make it universally accessible and useful.

    Since our founding in 1998, Google has grown by leaps and bounds. From offering search in a single language we now offer dozens of products and services—including various forms of advertising and web applications for all kinds of tasks—in scores of languages. And starting from two computer science students in a university dorm room, we now have thousands of employees and offices around the world. A lot has changed since the first Google search engine appeared. But some things haven’t changed: our dedication to our users and our belief in the possibilities of the Internet itself.
