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.

Feitian IAM reduces the risk of internal and external data breaches because it provides proper identities management and give greater control to administrators. Before Feitian IAM, our users need to input user+password+OTP for all our internal applications, now they only need to input once. Feitian IAM can automatically sync users from HR systems and Microsoft AD to our CRM systems and Email system, which saved a lot of time for our IT. We were using OTP tokens before Feitian IAM, Feitian IAM supports OTP and FIDO2 and many others.

Gluu has a mobile app catering to field workers. Normal workers use the web app, a complete cloud-based solution. They log in on any device and access the system. Gluu filters and displays relevant information based on the user's role in the processes. Users can set it up to view as a viewer, worker, manager, or controller of the area. The front end offers different views but provides an easy dashboard for employees. On the dashboard, users can configure it to show tasks, related work instructions, and connected processes. It's very user-friendly, allowing end-users to understand their tasks and processes without needing in-depth knowledge.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It's pretty easy for users to figure it out."
"I appreciate the simple login feature of Cisco Duo; being able to log into your actual page and then having all your apps there is convenient."
"The flexibility is the most valuable feature. We use it for the app on the phone. When we're at different locations, the phone is usually there, so we can use that. It has just been a very flexible option."
"The most appealing feature of Cisco Duo is the phone notification system that simply pops up on your phone."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is the ability for users to connect securely to the office using the VPN."
"All features of the solution are effective, particularly those involved in identifying vulnerabilities and updates."
"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."
"They provide extra help for providing codes, and their license model is perpetual which is better than others."
"Gluu has a mobile app catering to field workers. Normal workers use the web app, a complete cloud-based solution. They log in on any device and access the system."
"Most of the features are related to banking within this particular IT industry. Security and the market are also important features."
 

Cons

"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."
"Compared to other vendors, Cisco Duo is on the pricey end."
"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."
"Cisco Duo is not MSP ready by default."
"I rate it a nine because there is still a specific feature regarding Cisco Duo Desktop that must be enabled and optimized better than the current situation."
"The only issue I encountered was related to the expiration of Duo Unix versions below 2.0.3 on February 3rd."
"The pricing for Cisco Duo is kind of okay, but most of the time, your competitor is someone like Microsoft who gives it out for free with their offering, making it tough to argue with customers why they should spend additional dollars to also get Duo to improve their setup, but I think the pricing is fair."
"Cisco can further enhance the integrations, as they possess exceptional integrations with various providers' products and feature sets."
"FEITIAN has a recording feature, but it cannot record the configuration."
"I would like to see features around federation, authentication, authorization, and AI APIs with a ChatGPT interface."
"The tool integrates AI into the process modeling aspect. I believe this addition will significantly enhance usability. Additionally, it might be beneficial to have the capability to import content from other tools into this platform. Our platform follows its business process modeling notation standard, which differs from BPM. It uses a simpler notation, making it easier. The ability to import content from other tools could accommodate users accustomed to different standards."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Price wise, it's not cheap, but it's not expensive at all either. It's in the middle."
"Cisco has the most expensive products because market leaders tend to charge a lot."
"It was very reasonable."
"I haven't seen it in a while, but it's at par with everything else licensing-wise."
"The cost was reasonable. Licensing was pretty straightforward for a change."
"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."
"From a reseller perspective, it's still challenging to explain the whole license strategy to a client, so we really have to be ahead of that for all the true forward conversations."
"From a business perspective, it is a little bit costly. The licensing is on a per-user basis."
