We performed a comparison between Cisco Duo and Ping Identity Platform based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Authentication Systems solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It's easy to deploy. It's easy to manage. It's easy to integrate with other applications."
"The most valuable feature of Duo Security is the ability for the user to easily approve access. The application prompts the user, and they can see the location and the IP address. This makes it easy for the user to approve it and go through the process of logging in to the VPN."
"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."
"It's simple. It's reliable. I haven't had any issues with it."
"Duo Security gives us an additional layer of security that would give us added confidence that our network will be less likely to get hacked, compromised, or otherwise."
"For me and my customers, the best feature is that it's very easy to integrate with the existing infrastructure. It takes a few minutes to configure it."
"Duo has allowed us to add an additional layer of security to our organization and to establish trust for every access request and secures our environment."
"The two-factor authentication is valuable because that is the use case for which we are using it."
"The mobile biometric authentication option improved user experience. It's always about security because, with two-factor authentication, it's always a separate device verifying the actual user logging in."
"It is a scalable solution...It is a stable solution."
"The solution is highly stable and scalable"
"It's pretty stable as a product."
"The most valuable feature is multifactor authentication."
"This is a user-friendly solution."
"What I like best about PingID is that it's very user-friendly. PingID is well-built as a developer tool and regularly upgrades and updates via patches. I also like that PingID has clear documents that will help you integrate it with other solutions."
"It is a stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The only challenge is finding the right person sometimes. From what I've seen, being a named account is a big deal."
"Duo Security could be improved with the addition of more applications."
"I would like to see some features simplified, such as securing, configuring, and implementing Microsoft Remote Desktop. Other than that, the solution was rock solid throughout my time administering it."
"Duo has some issues that we're trying to work through. For example, if I install it on a WordPress site and another admin needs to log in, they can't because Duo hasn't been set up for them. It doesn't appear that I can add permissions on a user-by-user basis. It's not obvious."
"The pain point for us at one point was the Duo Authentication Proxy since we're on-premises and not in the cloud. We had to have a proxy machine that's in our DMZ to talk to Duo for us. The configuration of that was a little complicated."
"More automation and device insights would be helpful in achieving a seamless single pane of glass. Having the additional capability to streamline processes would also make things better."
"We have a 24 hour timer for our Duo cookie and we would like to reduce this to a shorter time when using Duo."
"I'm not a big fan of relicensing products every year or two years, but that's the model at the moment. I prefer to go back to licensing perpetually or permanent licensing."
"We have encountered instances where it is not easy to do authentication."
"PingID would benefit from a better user interface for integration."
"It has a long way to go until it is a cloud-based solution."
"The timing of the token validity, if it could be extended, would be great. I'm not sure if there is even an option to configure these types of settings."
"If the solution is going to compete with Microsoft, they need to offer more unique functionality to keep their current user base."
"The initial setup appears to be difficult in the beginning."
"PingFederate's UI could be streamlined. They have recently made several improvements, but it's still too complex. It's a common complaint. The configuration should be simplified because the learning curve is too steep."
"It requires some expertise to set up and manage."
