Information Technology Contractor at Insight global

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.

Dev Ops Engineer And Solution Architect at Scania

Centralized access has improved privileged control and now provides strong audit visibility

I believe StrongDM can improve its initial setup and onboarding experience for larger enterprise environments like Scania, where we have a lot of processes. Integrating different teams, access policies, and existing identity workflows requires substantial planning. Additionally, I think the dashboard customization and reporting could be more flexible for operational teams, though new teams find it manageable. Once the platform is fully integrated, it provides significant value. Apart from the onboarding experience, I would also mention that the templates for enterprise onboarding and policy setup could benefit from innovative thinking tailored to organizations managing large AWS and Kubernetes workloads. Enhanced customization in dashboards and reporting would further ease operations and provide better insights.

Marshalleno Skosan

Senior Specialist: Solution Architecture at a tech services company with 501-1,000 employees

A mature, powerful product with good integration capabilities

Since we use it to access a number of mission-critical applications, it means that we have multiple sites. We have independent instances of Access Manager deployed. What's very important for us is to ensure that the configurations across the various sites are 100% aligned. If they had a mechanism to ensure that's the case, that would be great. For example, the worst thing to do is if you run into an issue, and then you fail over to your disaster recovery environment, and then you find out that you've got a missing configuration there, it'll be great if one could easily compare configurations across instances of NetIQ Access Manager to ensure consistency. It's just about ensuring consistent configuration across various instances. Having the ability to easily extract and view and compare and version control configurations would be ideal. If you consider our scenario whereby, let's say, we've got an instance for our retail environment, and for that instance, we've got a disaster recovery environment. We need to ensure the amount of service at each of those sites. Now yes, they serve different purposes, however, for us, it's very important that site A and site B are 100% aligned. And so if there was a way to easily extract the configuration and to compare it across sites, to me, that would just make everything from an operational perspective significantly easier.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"You can do online and offline authentication."

"Cisco Duo's integration is smooth and very quick."

"Cisco Duo has helped my organization reduce its overall authentication-related costs."

"Looking back at my initial investment in Cisco Duo versus the total value it has delivered over time, that choice has paid off for my company massively."

"Cisco Duo's visibility into identity-based risks has improved our ability to manage security very well."

"I rate it highly because it's something that can grow with you, whether you have very little security or a lot of security, whether it's already Cisco or not, and whether you have a mixed mess that you're trying to put into some kind of order."

"It provides single-pane-of-glass management, which is pretty easy and straightforward. Because we manage multiple access tiers, it allows us to essentially manage everything from one viewpoint and not have many viewpoints for the same product. This is important because it is a time and resource saver. It also saves us money."

"It has continuously evolved by introducing new solutions and products to address emerging security threats in our industry, demonstrating its commitment to staying ahead of evolving security challenges."

More Cisco Duo pros

"We primarily used StrongDM for access to resources on private networks like EC2 machines, Kubernetes clusters, and various databases."

"Since using StrongDM, I estimate around a 60% reduction in effort compared to other PAM tools."

"The best features in StrongDM are that it is the easiest product in the market for this situation with easy access."

"StrongDM replaced the puzzle of different solutions with one single product, which made managing resources more efficient."

"StrongDM positively impacts my organization by helping with compliance and audit functions."

"By adopting StrongDM, we have achieved benefits such as eliminating our weekend outages, streamlining ongoing on-call workflows, enabling seamless migration with POC transitions directly into production with minimal effort, allowing our engineers to use their preferred SQL clients like MySQL, PostgreSQL, and Workbench, and facilitating compliance through detailed session logs and query capture for SOC 2 and ISO audits."

"All of the logging is handled for us, including for auditing purposes. Looking through the audit logs is not a painful experience."

"Since using StrongDM, I estimate around a 60% reduction in effort compared to other PAM tools."

More Delinea Runtime Authorization pros

"There are lots of options to customize the solution to your needs."

"It's very easy to integrate with applications."

"I would recommend NetIQ Access Manager; it is a very, very good alternative to Microsoft, Micro Focus is very big and offers good technical services, and the solution is very good, fast, simple to operate, and has very good production time to market."

"The features that we have found most valuable with NetIQ Access Manager are its single sign-on and two factor two second factor database."

"It's a very powerful product."

"The single sign-on feature is excellent."

"The most valuable features of NetIQ Access Manager are SSO and Multi-Factor Authentication."

"The integration is quite easy because there are a lot of options for integrating with different applications, so it is very versatile."

Cons

"I don't see Cisco Duo playing a significant role in managing agentic AI identities at this moment."

"However, I need to look into Cisco Duo; I had not realized they had an email aspect."

"When you come to the push in Duo Security, there are some integrations where you have to use the code instead of the push functionality."

"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."

"Sometimes, it's a little harder for customers to adopt."

"I'm unsure how to disable the ping notification sound on my phone when using Cisco Duo. I don't know how to silence it."

"Cisco Duo has not helped my company reduce its overall authentication-related costs, as it is a cost above what we already have."

"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."

More Cisco Duo cons

"I believe StrongDM can improve its initial setup and onboarding experience for larger enterprise environments like Scania, where we have a lot of processes."

"Additionally, StrongDM has limited MFA and passwordless options, relying heavily on time-based one-time passwords (OTP) or Duo, lacking support for true passwordless setups like biometrics or hardware YubiKeys, and it does not support per-session MFA."

"I rate the stability of the product five out of ten because crashes sometimes happen when we are working on it."

"I think the stability of StrongDM is about four to five due to the occasional crashes that I mentioned."

"My thoughts on the pricing of StrongDM is that it is expensive."

"We've had a few issues with the stability of this product in the past."

"StrongDM lacks the capability for web application injections or password injections, so we need to rely on other tools such as HashiCorp for non-human accounts or DevOps scenarios."

"I think StrongDM could improve by focusing more on network device management by allowing the addition of PAM for network devices, managing legacy network equipment, or helping to initiate enterprise onboarding where a lot of complex environments and initial setup are required."

More Delinea Runtime Authorization cons

"I would love to see the upgrade procedure handled more effectively. I would prefer to have OVS installation possibilities, although the upgrade procedures should include the OS as well. You should be able to use the whole application as an appliance."

"There is a major release going from version three to four or four to five. There seem to be issues up front, and then once you get to the third or fourth service pack to address those various issues, you're fine again."

"The application portal could be improved with more options and easier customization."

"Having the ability to easily extract and view and compare and version control configurations would be ideal."

"Occasionally, it's very difficult to get the solution running."

"In terms of what could be improved, I would say the security of the infrastructure and the server and the working networking device."

"Classification of junctions and new versions of applications, such as APIs, can be added to enable the use of more devices that utilize biometrics for Multi-Factor Authentication to improve the solution."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I am not aware of the pricing. There are two departments, and I don't have any information about them."

"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."

"Duo Security is free."

"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."

"I haven't seen it in a while, but it's at par with everything else licensing-wise."

"With regard to pricing, for a small business buying a one off, it's pretty expensive. If it's an enterprise that has thousands of employees, however, it's really nothing to protect your data because if your network goes down or it's breached, you're losing millions of dollars every minute. When it comes to a large enterprise, it's priced where it should be because you're talking business to business. You're not talking business to consumer."

"Cisco has the most expensive products because market leaders tend to charge a lot."

"Duo Security's pricing is good, fair, and very comparable to today's market."

More Cisco Duo pricing and cost advice

"The licensing is per user per month."

"The price of the solution is average."
