Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Cisco, Fortinet and others in Authentication Systems."We get fewer threats to remediate due to the two-factor authentication, which does not allow as many threats through."
"The app has greater stability than rival solutions such as Google Authenticator, and Duo Push authentication is a valuable feature."
"Cisco is the perfect product for our current size, and I don't think we'll have problems with scalability as we grow."
"The two-factor login is great. I receive a message and just have to press okay."

"This solution has a mobile application, which comes with multi-factor authentication; allowing for more flexible usage, without having to sacrifice system security."
"Integration with a product such as Microsoft Sentinel would be great. As the product continually improves, I'm unsure if this feature is available."
"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."
"They could just continue to add more integrations."
"Removing the need for a password would be a positive change as well as the ability to cover all the different enterprise applications. They don't have coverage for everything."

"Cisco can further enhance the integrations, as they possess exceptional integrations with various providers' products and feature sets."
"For upgrades, there should be a better notification of when they're coming out. We always have a testing phase, so we need to be ahead of it. It takes us longer before we can upgrade to the newest version."
"We found it difficult to integrate it into our broader product family of Microsoft tools and other applications used across our organization."
