We performed a comparison between Fortinet FortiToken and Microsoft Entra ID 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."Bangladesh is a price-sensitive market, and FortiToken is popular because it's more affordable than the Palo Alto and Cisco authentication solutions. Fortinet has a local director for Bangladesh, so they can deliver solutions to customers quickly."
"The product provides secure access to our internal server."
"I love the push-button authentication on FortiToken Mobile. It's also great that the soft token automatically reloads the OTP at intervals, so I always have a fresh code to enter."
"Its ease of installation is most valuable. It took me five minutes, and it was up and running. It didn't take me that long. The installation on the cell phones is pretty simple."
"Fortinet FortiToken is used for double factor authentication."
"We like the mobile FortiToken."
"The deployment is quick and simple."
"I believe FortiToken is the simplest to implement."
"Privileged Identity Management and Privileged Identity Management make controlling access considerably easier and ensure that authorized access is achieved."
"It's very easy to run and it's part of their ecosystem and I don't think it's going anywhere anytime soon."
"The interface is well laid out and it is easy to navigate."
"The most beneficial feature would be the effectiveness of having a hybrid set-up."
"The benefits of using this solution were realized straightaway."
"When logging on to Azure AD it's pretty quick."
"Configuring the domain and setting it up in the Azure portal is just three clicks to be honest."
"The most valuable features of this solution are security, the conditional access feature, and multifactor authentication."
"The problem is that our customers create budgets annually based on the figures at the beginning of the fiscal year. Our customers get annoyed when the price is adjusted in the middle of the year. I understand that it's a difficult time, and price increases make sense for hardware devices. However, FortiToken is a software product, so it shouldn't be affected by factors like chip shortages or supply chain issues. Software solutions should have more transparent and predictable pricing."
"I would like to see if FortiToken can integrate with Office 365 mail to support the same two-factor authentication experience that I have with ESET. With ESET, when a user logs in, they are easily directed to the ESET authentication page, where they are prompted to enter their OTP after supplying their username and password. I understand from support that FortiToken cannot do this with email integration. That's why I opted for ESET."
"I would rate the scalability a seven out of ten. The migration issue definitely brings it down a bit."
"It could be integrated better if you could have your FortiToken, and the license would allow you to work across multiple FortiGate solutions."
"Maybe the price could be improved, and the integration could be better. But the integration is different from the authenticator side."
"Fortinet FortiToken could be lower for some markets."
"The solution works well. We have nothing to complain about."
"We can only use the tool with the FortiToken Mobile app."
"I hope, in the roadmap, Microsoft eventually offers the same features as Okta. It will take some more time to mature."
"Allowing for more customization would be very useful. There is a limited metadata capability. When you look at a user, there are only six pieces of information you can see, but organizations are way more complex, so having that metadata available and being able to use that for dynamic user groups and other policies would be very helpful."
"From an admin perspective, I would like to see improvement in the Microsoft Graph API."
"Azure Active Directory could benefit by adding the capability for identity life cycle for the on-premise solution. For example, an HR solution, which is built on-premise or, in general, better on-premise capable solutions."
"The product takes at least ten minutes to activate privilege identity management roles."
"The solution can improve the educational portion because it is an administration cost."
"Many people believe that the Azure Active Directory is overly complicated and antiquated."
"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."
