It's on one pane of glass."

"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."

"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."
"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."
