5-person company about to hire more and we're on M365:

Okta or Duo?

[If you say Azure AD FS, I'll make you read the eight-year-old docs for it til you get galaxy brain]

@Tarah I haven't used Okta proper, but I found integration with Auth0 to be pretty painless.

@Tarah If you need integration into a lot of different SaaS providers or something, Okta. If not and you will stay fairly small, maybe Duo.

BTW Duo for Unix (for my Linux servers) is wonderful, I use that on my home systems.

@Tarah my vote is Okta, deployed it 4 times now at companies between 50-5000 folks and it’s been seamless every time
@SecureOwl @Tarah
I'm not saying that MFA is bad but given the size of the company, I'd consider whether or not they may get more bang for their bucks spending elsewhere to improve their security posture. As for the Okta/Duo argument I don't have any strong opinions either way.
@BryanTheSnail @SecureOwl dude. It’s my company and it is jammed with security experts. I just want the easiest possible biz solution like any other CEO at this point.
@Tarah @SecureOwl
Guess I got that one wrong then.
@BryanTheSnail @SecureOwl I am become quite dull now. I love it.
@Tarah @SecureOwl
You can quite happily ignore me. I'm just an old crabby Scot who doesn't mind spending money if he can see the value in it. I guess I've seen too many clients think that X will solve all their problems when they can't get the basics right. I doubt that's the case here given the client.
@BryanTheSnail @SecureOwl I’m spending money to remove a boring non-business-core problem so we can get back to solving our interesting problem. Im lucky that the folks solving SSO think *theirs* is the interesting problem. And I bet they don’t want to be doing SaaS SMB compliance :)
@Tarah Okta would be my choice. We’ve used both and are about done moving Duo out.
@Tarah What is the goal you look to achieve? Are you going to integrate with other apps so you need sso, are you focused on account management, or are you concerned with MFA?
@Tarah biased opinion of Duo if you already have an IDP, otherwise Okta.
@Tarah Neither, use native Entra ID and WHfB or FIDO keys for MFA. ADFS not required. On-premises anything not required.
@Tarah okta all day and twice on Monday

@Tarah Migrated from Okta to Duo this year. Never looked back.

Caveat: I have not used their AD offerings, but everything else has been 💯

@Tarah I've been a Duo fanboy since before they were a Cisco product. Their documentation is amazing IMHO, and so far Cisco has pretty much just left them alone to keep doing what they do. Not to mention they haven't raised their prices for a good long time.
