"Intuitive interface and easy to deploy."
"This is a scalable product."
"The most valuable features of Fortinet FortiAuthenticator are easy to configure, secure, and the application has good performance."
"The product is stable and reliable."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is RADIUS service and the social network integration feature."
"The solution can scale very well."
"They have good push authentications."
"One of the most beneficial features of the solution is the user provisioning and the de-provisioning feature."
"Its integration components are most valuable. It integrates with everything in some way. There are some products, such as O365 or AD, with which it completely and 100% integrates. So, you can seamlessly create accounts across the board with some of these products. For some of the products with which it doesn't completely integrate, you can do some kind of interfacing."
"What I found most valuable in Okta Workforce Identity is that it worked together with VMware Workspace One, so there was this device check at the same time. My company used the trusted device method that enabled you to define that only the trusted devices including the Workspace One agent were able to access the applications directly without an additional authentication step."
"I like the tool's workflows, which is user-friendly. It can integrate with different applications. I particularly like that users are delighted to access their applications without the hassle of entering their username and password each time. It truly enhances user-friendliness."
"We face no challenges in integrating the product with our legacy systems."
"It has a wide range of MFA options. I prefer "Okta Verify" out of them all."
"There is a room for improvement. The log is a bit difficult to access, and searching the log codes is also a bit difficult. So it would be much better if, when we open a log, it could provide detailed information about errors, reasons for failure, and such."
"It would be helpful to receive a code by yourself for authentication instead of it registered to a phone."
"The only way the solution could be improved is if it were cheaper."
"I would like to see more support from Fortinet with tech support people who have as much expertise on the authenticator as they do on their firewalls."
"There are multiple areas that are in need of improvement. It is not a mature product."
"Integration with some other enterprise applications could be improved."
"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."
"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."
"We still had to write several internal programs/scripts to complete the user-provisioning process. Okta does not have the ability to provision mailbox accounts for on-premise Exchange or in a hybrid O365 environment. The Group Push function from Okta to AD did not work reliably in our environment."
"We experienced some technical glitches that need to be resolved."
"Application updates are lacking. Customer support needs to be improved."
"This user integration with the Okta integration network could be simplified."
"Therefore, if you have 10 million users, that's almost 100 million, so it is costly."
"The solution should have greater on-premises availability, not just cloud and more package customization in its processing."
"Okta Workforce Identity can improve by having more features in governance."
"The error logging could be improved. Okta doesn't provide enough details when you are troubleshooting an issue. It's often difficult to fix it from our end, so we always need additional support from Okta."
