About Duo Security
Duo Security is a cloud-based solution for user identity verification and device vulnerability assessment which offers multiple methods of two-factor authentication, configurable permissions and controls, endpoint visibility and remediation, Single Sign-On (SSO), and more. The Duo Trusted Access platform is designed to address possible security threats by verifying users’ identities and device health before they are allowed to connect to the organization’s applications.
Duo verifies users’ identities in a number of ways, using two-factor authentication methods including SMS passcodes, phone callbacks, hardware tokens, and one-tap authentication through push notifications from the Duo Mobile app. Administrators can configure and enforce custom access policies and controls, including blocking user logins from specific locations, such as countries the company does not do business in. Application-based controls can also be set up, allowing administrators to define different two-factor authentication requirements for access to specific systems, such as requiring two-factor authentication for every VPN login attempt, but only once a week for Outlook access.
Duo allows users to create an inventory of user devices and use this data to identify vulnerabilities posed by outdated operating systems, browsers, and Flash & Java plugins. Users can be automatically notified of outdated devices, with direct links to update to the latest software version, provided a set number of login attempts before application access is blocked, or immediately blocked from accessing applications, with permissions reinstated after the browser or plugin has been updated. For organizations where certain applications have specific browser or Flash dependencies, self-remediation policies can be set up to notify only particular users of issues with specific plugins or browsers.
Duo’s Access Gateway offers a secure web portal to give Single Sign-On (SSO) access to employees who use 10 or more cloud applications. Applications are presented on a single page, giving users visibility into all available applications. Device security health checks are carried out every time a user accesses a cloud application, and user identity is verified without the need for them to re-authenticate each time they access an application.

Hassle free two-factor authenticator
Reviewed on 22/6/2021
Pros
Regardless of the technology or platform which are targeting to integrate the multi-factor authentication Duo Security provides the flexibility to integrate with the largely used identity platforms/providers. The use of the app is very easy and convenient with the enablement of biometric authentication. For the authorization process, it takes just one click. The app is that user-friendly. Not like other application available Duo is really easy to use and integrate.
Cons
Nothing that I can think of that I like least.

Pros
I like the simplicity of the multifactor authentication process. It was easy to deploy on our phones and works perfectly each day.
Cons
I do not have any cons to list. This product functions as it should and does the job. Compared to the product that we switched from though, I do feel that DUO provides less security.

Duo makes your information safer, and it does help make you feel more comfortable with the information you have online, but it does have flaws and takes time to fully complete the authentication process that is not there otherwise.
Pros
Duo security is an app on your phone and a computer program, so it is versatile and helpful in protecting your passwords and various accounts. In school, it is a great way to protect tuition information, grades, and various other lovely stuff we do not want people to know.
Cons
The app can sometimes lose connection with the cloud, so an authentication won't go through, or there can be issues where the app does not receive a push or a request. This can be difficult as there is no direct way to troubleshoot, you just have to restart the process.

Beware! Customer service has been non-existent following Cisco acquisition
Reviewed on 10/3/2020
Pros
We have used Duo for many years. It was easy to implement and has always worked well.
Cons
Last year we negotiated bulk pricing and paid in advance for a 14-month term. Later we discovered that they had never provisioned our licenses and were still billing our credit card. Now, four months later, after numerous phone calls and more than a dozen emails, they have still not provisioned the licenses we paid for. They have acknowledged that this is their mistake and they need to fix it, but they seem incapable of doing so.
I get the sense that their organization is completely dysfunctional following the Cisco acquisition. Given that they cannot solve the challenge of "how does a customer purchase your software?", I am worried what might happen if you came to them with anything more difficult.

I feel much more secure with many of my accounts. It provides as overall sense of ease and security.
Pros
Duo security has an easy to use app that can serve as a two-factor identification hub for many types of accounts. I find it especially useful for protecting email and bank accounts. The push notifications are convenient for managing login in attempts and ensuring accounts are not compromised.
Cons
Sometimes the notifications are not immediate, and the login in attempt can time out. The software doesn't function well if network connection is poor.
