Charles Slaustas - PeerSpot reviewer

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 visibility yet still needs better integrations
While the access control capabilities are useful, streamlining some configuration and policy management workflows could enhance the user experience for administrators. A simpler interface for creating access policies and quickly identifying unusual activities would make day-to-day administration more efficient. Stronger integration with existing identity data and secret management could be a significant improvement for Idira Privileged Access Manager. Deeper integration with cloud solutions would make it easier to correlate privileged access activity with other security events. I would also appreciate more flexible reporting and dashboards so administrators can swiftly see access patterns and unusual privileged access from a single view.

Centralized insights have transformed how we track SaaS usage, security, and cost savings
The dashboard provided by Zluri SaaS Management is the best feature. It is very intuitive and gives 360-degree visibility into all SaaS applications. The dashboard ranks usage of the application, provides real-time spending details, active user counts, and the authorization level of each user across each application. The most valuable features are the authorization levels and usage levels as they provide immediate notifications when unauthorized users access the application. This helps maintain data security, and real-time spend tracking proves useful for managing quarterly budgets and future planning. Zluri SaaS Management has helped identify inactive users and inactive applications, saving approximately $60,000 in the last quarter alone. This has directly impacted overall revenue, leading to a 15% increase. This was primarily accomplished through the dashboard and automated alerts that Zluri provides. Zluri offers AI integrations with ChatGPT, Claude, DeepSake, and others, but the accuracy of these integrations is not yet 100%. The output provided by Zluri SaaS Management is highly reliable. However, in terms of accuracy, the consistency is not maintained as of now, and more work could be done on maintaining consistency.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Cisco Duo is an excellent solution to protect our network."
"The most valuable feature is the ability for users to connect securely to the office using the VPN."
"My impression of Cisco's identity intelligence capability to detect and respond to identity-based risks effectively is that it's a great product."
"It has definitely made our company more secure."
"The single pane of glass management works very well. That feature is very important because we have a lot of admins who have to manage Duo, and it's much easier when it's a single pane of glass. That single pane is also great because it's easy to enroll new devices."
"Cisco Duo benefits my organization by making it easy for me to reach out to customers using Cisco Duo so they can integrate on my platform using their credentials."
"Looking back, the biggest impact Cisco Duo has had on our company is enhancing our security posture."
"Right now, I do not think there is anything about Cisco Duo that I would improve; I have been happy with everything so far."
"Session monitoring is excellent. It may be the solution's most valuable aspect."
"CyberArk is a solution to problems being faced by multiple companies and organizations, as it removes security threats and vulnerabilities from an organization in a secure way, and your credentials are handled in a secure way, so it solves this pain area in a company, and that is why I think they are one of the top tools."
"One of the best features of CyberArk Privileged Access Manager is the capability of Privileged Session Manager (PSM) because it provides visibility into user activities, audit ability, and traceability."
"If you compare this product with anything else as far as an endpoint solution, there is nothing which even compares."
"We use the solution for password vaulting, password rotation, session management, and secret management."
"The most valuable feature is the special management. It records the activity and the actions that we use for auditing."
"The most valuable features of CyberArk Privileged Access Manager include quick access, ease of use, and a variety of connection methods beyond the web portal."
"CyberArk Privileged Access Manager’s ability to safeguard credentials for our organization is very important because it helps in managing the keys to the kingdom, especially the privileged access for various platforms."
"Zluri SaaS Management is a game-changer for access audits, truly saving us during audits with visibility of what software is assigned to users in one place, which has been extremely helpful for off-boardings."
"Zluri SaaS Management has helped identify inactive users and inactive applications, saving approximately $60,000 in the last quarter alone, which has directly impacted overall revenue, leading to a 15% increase."
 

Cons

"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."
"I'd like to see it integrated into other applications. I know there are some integrations, but I haven't been able to explore that any further."
"It could be a little bit more intuitive when it comes to the sign-up process. I know they send out an email, but sometimes our users get a little confused. It could be an end-user problem, but Cisco could work on that a little."
"I am not certain how Cisco Duo has helped me evolve in my IAM strategy from simple authentication to a more comprehensive identity security platform."
"I did utilize an open-source GitHub repository that Cisco Duo had for the logs for sending off to Syslogs, but I believe that was no longer in support."
"Cisco Duo could definitely be improved, particularly regarding some of the reporting it does, as it currently lacks detail; for example, we had an issue where someone was getting prompted multiple times, but the console only detected it that one time."
"We already have Active Directory enabled in our routers and switches. However, if we could do two-factor authentication, then it could go a long way since no one's getting into them unless you want them to."
"It is easy to use when logging in, but at times, there's a delay in getting the pop-up on a phone, requiring users to occasionally retry authentication depending on backend services."
"Password Vault is much pricier than other solutions. A vendor team might struggle to explain why that price is justified. There are good alternatives that cost less."
"Occasionally, there are lagging issues. Sometimes users have to re-login. When users copy passwords, there is sometimes a lag, so they have to log out and log in, but these are very rare cases."
"The solution's architecture could be improved. It requires installation on four to five different servers. Each server has a purpose, but when you need to troubleshoot, it can be difficult because you need to access each of them. Reducing the number of servers would be helpful."
"We're still struggling with the use of RDP through PSMs."
"Their support can be better. Their SLA timings are higher than others."
"Cost efficiency is the number one thing that can be improved in my mind."
"There are some options in the web portal where they can improve the user experience. For example, in remote, there is a parameter called 'access to remote machine.' When we put host names in that field, we are not able to search it. It"
"The installation process should be easier and more user-friendly so that you don't need to hire a third party to deploy it."
"Zluri offers AI integrations with ChatGPT, Claude, DeepSake, and others, but the accuracy of these integrations is not yet 100%."
"Zluri SaaS Management has been a very great tool, though some application integrations require additional setup or validation to ensure usage data is fully accurate, which can take time during onboarding."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's very simple. Its price is fair. We use the hardware tokens as well. You get what you pay for. In terms of licensing, Cisco has very complicated products, but Duo Security was surprisingly easy."
"My experience with the pricing, setup cost, and licensing of Cisco Duo has been great. We've been there for 10 years. While we haven't gone through the setup part for a while, licensing is straightforward and convenient for higher education because student populations are included. So, we don't have to pay extra for it. We just pay for our knowledge workers, which has been great, and the cost is reasonable."
"The pricing is pretty competitive. It's pretty cheap. Anybody can adopt it."
"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."
"Price wise, it's not cheap, but it's not expensive at all either. It's in the middle."
"I rate the product pricing a seven out of ten."
"Duo Security is free."
"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."
"Before we bought it, they were licensing each function individually, which got complicated and very expensive. When we decided to buy it, it was much more straightforward and still quite expensive, but it brings a lot of value and risk reduction to the organization."
"I rate the tool's pricing an eight out of ten."
"Previously, the pricing was very meager. They started publicizing and advertising the solution, growing CyberArk, as an organization. They also changed their pricing with that growth, e.g., the pricier the product, the more people who will purchase it."
"I do not have any opinions to add about the pricing of the product."
"I'm aware that the organization had purchased licensing for almost all of CyberArk's solutions including licensing for PTA, EPM, and the Application Identity Manager. But when it comes to PSM, this is one of the components where there's an additional charge for any extra PSMs that you want to deploy. I believe that there's some rider where the vendor has a bit of leeway to, at times, charge a premium on whatever additional services you may require above the board."
"The solution is very expensive and requires a license. We pay for an enterprise license."
"The price of CyberArk Privileged Access Manager could be less expensive."
"They have two types of licensing: purchase and subscription. You have to pay for each admin user, such as Microsoft admin, mail admin, database admin, etc."
