Duo Security

Kommentare: This is the best security feature for authentication. It makes sure no one else logins to your account but only you. The main benefit of this software is that our work done till date is secure in our machines.

Vorteile: The best thing about this software is that we can not login to our work station until and unless we pass through Duo Security. There is a mobile app for this which makes it easy to authenticate. We just need to tap "Approve" on the login request sent to mobile app. there are three types of login. One can choose any type based on our convenience. One can login using passcodes, call on spot or just clicking approval system.

Nachteile: There was issue when I lost my mobile phone and I wanted to configure duo again to login to my work station. Adding account was so time consuming that I had to wait for the Administrator to add my account again. If administrator is on leave then we have to wait for another complete day to login to work station.

Kommentare: I started using Duo Security since 2017 when I started working as graduate assistant. The app had allowed me to make sure that my account at my job is secure and no one can easily access to my account without an approval on my phone. If you are using this app, you don't have to call or text your number to access to your account. You just press the push button and approve it from your phone and access to your account.

Vorteile: The app is very functional and easy to use. It makes the users to secure their accounts and make sure that no one can easily login to their account.

Nachteile: You should make sure that your phone has sufficient battery. If your phone battery dies, you might not be able to access your account on your computer. The slight side effect of using this app is that you just have to have an open phone.

Kommentare: Our email account compremise rates have been decreasing since we sitch to Duo.

Vorteile: Duo allows us to get along with compliance check mechanisms. We use its multi factor authentication product to keep safe our email accounts. Their mobile application (Duo Push) works very well and smooth. It sends a notification very quick when a user try to log in to system. Also, in some cases their toggle is very useful such as when a user have a network problem. We are planning to activate biometric authentication service of Duo in the near future. In addition to all above, as I was a part of deployment team, I can say it was really easy to deploy the Duo on our environment. Support team helped when we had a problem about our old-version OS's.

Nachteile: Price per user could be cheaper, we had to deal with purchase planning dept of our company for along time to convince them Duo is necessary and its worth it.

Kommentare: We love Duo Security. The implementation on our remote servers and web servers gives us piece of mind knowing that our important infrastructure is secured with DFA/2FA (Dual or two factor authentication). It's very easy to setup DFA on a remote server which is good too.

Vorteile: I like the integration with mobile and smart watches. I use Duo on a daily basis to login in to servers and online services. What I love the most is that as long as I'm wearing my smart watch I can approve logins directly from it. No passwords, no pins, biometrics needed. The authentication push is instantaneous which keeps the login on the target device/service from timing out.

Nachteile: What I like least is the quality of the hardware tokens. They don't seem to last very long (less than 1 year) and have to resync'd once or twice annually. For me this is no longer an issue because I authenticate using mobile or smart watch pushes. It would be nice to know that if my watch or phone were to die that the token is always reliable.

Vorteile: Apparently, this program keeps your identity and information safe from hackers or other malicious sources. I’ve never had an issue with that using other security programs.

Nachteile: This app is painfully inconvenient to use. It uses dual security so you either have to get a call, text, or approve on the mobile app every login to the platform you are logging into. I wish that there was a way to stay logged in for longer periods of time on you known and secure devices. I would not recommend this program to others looking for a way to boost their security.
