We performed a comparison between Fortinet FortiAuthenticator and LastPass based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Single Sign-On (SSO) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."We use this product for SSL two-factor authentication and FortiToken management."
"I work a lot with Fortinet products and I call the support often. They are very quick to respond and the support is very good."
"Fortinet FortiAuthenticator is an easy-to-use solution."
"The solution is very easy to manage."
"Intuitive interface and easy to deploy."
"The ease of use is really nice. Using Authenticator, I've been able to actually work better on my authentication due to the fact that I have a single fabric to authenticate control from my firewall and on my access points. Authentication takes place from this area."
"I appreciate its ability to provide multi-factor authentication, but it's primarily focused on this function."
"The initial setup of Fortinet FortiAuthenticator is easy."
"It's always hard to put a value on return on investment. You avoid one breach and it's paid for a million times over. We got a penetration test company internally, just to see how secure our network is, and there happened to be one bit of software that had been overlooked by an external company that managed it. It hadn't been upgraded so that managed to get them into the network. They would've been able to access through the test thing a file that we had previously. If that was a real-life scenario they would have been able to get into our network and get full access to our organization's passwords. If they did get in, they would have gotten access to the cloud. The ROI we see is that we are completely secured compared to what we had previously where there was a vulnerability."
"Tech support has been good. We haven't needed it much, because it is not a complex application. There is not that much you have to do with it."
"Increased security around password management for teams and collaborative efforts with external vendors."
"It's improved security; we don't have to worry about people storing password loosely and secure them."
"This product helps keep us secure."
"The most valuable feature for me is being able to pair applications and user permissions."
"Reduction in number of sensitive passwords stored insecurely on local systems."
"Off-boarding of people is easy without changing shared account passwords."
"I would like to see more security features in reference to identity login or identity identification."
"For improvement, Fortinet needs to ensure that they provide quick support to users...Fortinet sometimes needs to respond to users facing issues within an hour."
"They could expand FortiAuthenticator's capabilities to accommodate a broader range of environments."
"The integration with other products, for example, some SAML authentications, would make it more flexible."
"The product must provide 2FA for applications."
"The only issue I encounter is that when not using FortiAuthenticator for an extended period, it's typical to encounter some obstacles in the configuration process that you need to address."
"The user interface and clustering are areas with shortcomings that need improvement."
"The speed of deployment on the cloud could be improved. It took a few days when it should have been just two days"
"The biggest thing is there is no good way to have LastPass rotate passwords without human intervention. Right now, we have to go into each folder, then rotate and manually update each password. It can be done it by loading a bunch of passwords into a spreadsheet, but this makes the whole process insecure because then the passwords have been noted into a spreadsheet which have to be upload. We have to go into 40 to 50 applications and manually update passwords, because we don't view their solution of writing a bunch of passwords on a spreadsheet, then uploading them as a secure solution. This should be done internally within LastPass."
"LastPass has a problem syncing the passwords to all of the users."
"Right now we have two products; there is the password manager and there is the authenticator app. Ideally, these should be fully integrated and support better handling of two-factor authentication or any other authenticator data."
"Our biggest issue over the years was around the stability of the LDAP sync to AD."
"I would like to be able to reduce the log out time of the session."
"Its user interface should be better, and there should probably be more information about scalability."
"One thing I wish LastPass had is an integration with Active Directory, not for synchronizing users but to actually manage, in some way, privileged accounts by replacing the password of LastPass itself."
"We have issues from time to time where, for some reason, it just keeps auto logging-out the user and then, the next day, they'll come in and it will work just fine."
