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."Fortinet FortiToken provides security and authenticates that the right external people are working with a company's system."
"I appreciate that it provides comprehensive security. It is tailored to this specific purpose, and it excels in fulfilling this purpose."
"The solution is pretty solid."
"The initial setup is easy. You receive a QR code via email, scan it, and add it. No complicated procedures involved."
"I would rate the overall solution an eight out of ten. The solution is a smart product that anyone can easily access and manage. The solution is a good product for multi-factor authentication and to secure remote authentication in the corporate environment."
"FortiToken is available in a soft or hard token factor, so there's some flexibility in that. Beyond that, I would say it is a stable solution that has worked for us."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"I believe FortiToken is the simplest to implement."
"It's very good at not disrupting the user experience."
"I like the downloads, availability for Android and iOS operating systems, and integration with Microsoft applications, such as Azure- and Office-based solutions. It is an excellent tool that helps with day-to-day business operations. I also like that I can install the app on my mobile."
"Don't delay implementing this solution, it's the best thing you can do for your identity protection."
"It's something we have to deal with every day. It is present. If you're in a domain environment, you'll need it to log in. If you work in a Microsoft-centric environment, you can't avoid it."
"Azure Active Directory has many automation capabilities, and you can apply policies on top. You can do a lot of things with these combinations and integrate other tools like PingFederate."
"Azure AD allowed us to get rid of servers and other hardware running at our offices. We moved everything to the cloud. Once we set up roles and permissions, it's only a matter of adding people and removing people from different groups and letting permissions flow through."
"Syncing with our on-prem Active Directory is valuable because we do not have to keep multiple identities for each of our staff members. We can easily evaluate login risks and provide access for SSO via 365 into applications, such as Salesforce, and other things that we run our business on."
"The scalability of the product is decent."
"Fortinet support has some room for improvement. It has taken a long time to resolve some issues or find a workaround."
"The tool could be a little cheaper."
"I would rate the scalability a seven out of ten. The migration issue definitely brings it down a bit."
"Fortinet FortiToken could be lower for some markets."
"The solution could introduce a mobile application instead of a physical product."
"Support is a pain point in Bangladesh because there aren't many experienced Fortinet engineers in this country. It's easier to find one certified in Cisco, Palo Alto, or Juniper."
"They could enhance synchronization with mobile applications, and addressing minor issues with authentication could further improve user experience."
"I would like to see complete OAuth support. Also, if they can support it from a SaaS (Software as a Service) or cloud platform, that would be great."
"Its area of improvement is more about the synchronization of accounts and the intervals for that. Sometimes, there're customers with other network challenges, and it takes a while for synchronization to happen to the cloud. There is some component of their on-prem that is delaying things getting to the cloud. The turnaround time for these requests is very time-sensitive. I don't mean this as derogatory for this service, but in my experience, that happens a lot."
"Microsoft services and most familiar third-party applications are currently supported, but we can't find many other platforms that integrate with Office 365 or Azure Active Directory. Microsoft should develop connectors for different applications and collaborate more with other vendors to cover a broader range of applications."
"I believe it can also be integrated into other Microsoft products, as well as more integrations with other solutions."
"When you start to deal with legacy applications, provisioning is not as intuitive."
"My only pain point in this solution is creating group membership for devices."
"The SSO MyApps interface is very basic and needs better customization capabilities."
"Definitely, the price could be lower. When we moved from AWS to Azure, we started paying more."
"It would be ideal if the solution moved to a passwordless type of environment. It's the future of authentification. It's also more secure and convenient."
