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."The implementation has significantly improved access management within our organization."
"The solution is very easy to manage."
"Enables easy integration, allowing for 2FA with our VPN."
"The solution's most valuable aspect is that it easy to install. The user experience is very good."
"FortiAuthenticator is really good software that integrates very well with Fortinet products."
"I appreciate its ability to provide multi-factor authentication, but it's primarily focused on this function."
"We have a perpetual license for 2FA."
"The most valuable features are the performance and ease of use."
"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."
"It is easy to use."
"The most valuable feature for me is being able to pair applications and user permissions."
"Scalability is fine, no issues with that, especially now that they have added different user-level permissions. That has made it a lot easier to delegate out certain features to have other people do."
"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."
"The initial setup for this process is straightforward and extremely easy. It just works."
"This product helps keep us secure."
"I would like to see more security features in reference to identity login or identity identification."
"Other features that would improve the product are a single sign-on where people can use their Gmail ID to log-in, etc."
"Fortinet FortiAuthenticator provides only authentication. It should also enable authorization services"
"FortiAuthenticator's interface could be better."
"It can not use SQL to query FortiAnalyzer directly."
"A better integration with other vendors."
"There are multiple areas that are in need of improvement. It is not a mature product."
"The user interface and clustering are areas with shortcomings that need improvement."
"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."
"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."
"It is not super feature laden. It does not stand out versus the competition."
"I also don't like the add-in for Internet Explorer and Google Chrome, because when you do the add-in, you can actually save that to your credentials in your IE, and the problem is, if I left my screen open, or any of the IT people leave their screen open someone could come up and access all their credentials in LastPass without having to put a password in within your own network. I don't like that functionality. We've banned that from any of our staff adding that as an add-in because we see that as a security risk."
"Our biggest issue over the years was around the stability of the LDAP sync to AD."
"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."
"LastPass has a problem syncing the passwords to all of the users."
"Its user interface should be better, and there should probably be more information about scalability."
