What our shortlists say about the one we picked.
Best for: Teams needing phishing-resistant MFA layered on VPN or ZTNA
The integration with Cisco XDR for VPN capacity scaling is relevant only if you are already in the Cisco ecosystem. The database lists no specific third-party integrations, which is a gap to verify during evaluation. Duo fits SMB through enterprise teams that want strong MFA and device trust as the foundation of their access security, whether or not they have completed a full VPN-to-ZTNA migration. It is also a natural fit for organizations that have already deployed Duo for MFA and want to extend it into a broader access control posture.
