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.

With its mobile application, this tool offers a convenient and user-friendly experience to its users
To improve the tool, I think that the solution should consider integrations with other cybersecurity and IT technologies, such as Privileged Access Management and Site Integration. Additionally, the implementation of second-factor authentication via Symantec VIP Access Manager, CyberArk, and Delinea, among other technologies, could be best for the product. While the existing technology is okay, improving the integration capabilities for Symantec VIP Access Manager would benefit the product. I would like to see the solution meet the integration needs at our company. While many cybersecurity solutions can function independently, they often lack integration with our systems due to missed integration points. Improving the solution's integration feature would be beneficial.

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

"Duo allowed us to greatly enhance our security."
"Cisco Duo has improved our operational efficiency and reduced costs in areas including authentication, IT support, and security operations."
"Cisco Duo has unified the authentication method and really simplified it to where the end user doesn't have to interact with any authentication method."
"I now have the Identity Intelligence feature, which makes me very happy, and it was indeed the big feature, the big step ahead that we achieved thanks to Cisco Duo."
"Since implementing Cisco Duo, it has greatly improved our operational efficiency."
"Duo Security just adds another layer; it's a great addition to the security of any network infrastructure."
"It meets our security needs very well. It is easy to use, and documentation is also available. It is also very stable and scalable, and its support is also very good. We are satisfied with this solution."
"My advice for other companies that are considering getting Cisco Duo is to try it, and you will be amazed at how easy and how productive this tool is."
"The solution has helped to increase staff productivity by approximately a minute."
"VIP is a strong, cloud-based authentication service that enables organizations to secure access to networks and applications to prevent unauthorized logins to company resources, even when passwords have been compromised or shared."
"Integration with Citrix Access Gateway, Microsoft Office 365 and Single Sign-On (through Symantec Validation and ID Protection Access Manager) has increased the productivity of the employees for accessing resources."
"The VPN we are using is good and working quite well."
"After the initial integration, the overall support calls dropped, and customer satisfaction for VPN increased."
"In this version 9.1, lots of changes are done for the dashboard, User Store etc."
"Mostly from a product expert's point of view, it provides solutions for my clients."
"The main benefit of Symantec VIP is that it provides strong authentication while keeping it as a very user friendly experience."
"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

"There might be a little slowness, but that could be my connection."
"I do not think Cisco Duo is the best option on the market thus far."
"Smart Licensing needs improvement. It's terrible. We have problems with it every year and we need to involve support to fix it."
"For the next release, Cisco Duo could be improved by adding touchless authentication and biometric features."
"If you want easier management, Duo wouldn't meet that need."
"An AI support robot or bot that provides direct answers to questions without requiring the search for facts or documents to find solutions would be an improvement."
"Compared to other vendors, Cisco Duo is on the pricey end."
"Scalability could be better if the price were reduced, as scaling is quite expensive."
"Our only issue was with user training. The additional challenge was not well received."
"At times, the relay server could not contact Symantec; it would fail open and allow access without a passcode."
"It gets out of sync with Active Directory or whatever it might be, whatever the authentication piece is on Active Directory, and they just reset it on the backend. I never have to contact the vendor."
"It is challenging to use when installing a new version."
"Technical support is one of the worst problems."
"Every time that I have a new phone or computer, it takes a little longer to deploy it."
"In my opinion, for this solution, the technical support is not so expert when we talk about integration using the API."
"The User Store synchronization part needs to improve. Also, the logs, reports, and dashboard can be improved."
"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 is affordable for what's coming to the table with it, but in this day and age, the cost is looked at under a microscope, and companies need to very finely define what is needed versus what is critical. In some cases, it might not be cost-effective for a company to have it. In a lot of other cases, it is the cost of doing business."
"I rate the product pricing a seven out of ten."
"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."
"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."
"I haven't seen any information on the pricing in four years, so I can't comment on that."
"From a business perspective, it is a little bit costly. The licensing is on a per-user basis."
"Cisco has the most expensive products because market leaders tend to charge a lot."
"During testing we are allowed a certain number of licenses for free."
"I can say that the solution is worth the money."
"There is a one-time setup fee plus the licenses are provided as per the number of users. For SMS and voice calls, the costs are separate."
"Licensing and pricing seems very fair."
"There are additional costs for maintenance."
