We performed a comparison between Auth0 and Fortinet FortiAuthenticator 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."It has a lot of customization and out-of-the-box features."
"I simply use the JWT from the client on the server side to process requests and push updated profile data to a database/queue as needed and end the process without having to persist data in the web server (sessions)."
"It's a very powerful platform. It has the ability to do the usual stuff, according to modern protocols, like OIDC and OAuth 2. But the real benefit of using the platform comes from its flexibility to enhance it with rules and, now, with what they call authentication pipelines. That is the most significant feature, as it allows you to customize everything regarding the authentication and authorization process."
"The valuable features are that it is extremely secure and that it's developer-friendly."
"The most important thing for me is compliance. Everything that they have developed in Auth0 is already certified by many regulators such as ISO. So, we do not need to take care of that. We have the shared responsibility model to share assets with other products we are using in the cloud."
"The most valuable feature is interface application integration, but we haven't fully used it yet. We'll need it in the future for a few potential clients."
"It is easily connected and easy to put our app in single sign-on."
"The most valuable feature is that it is simple to integrate, irrespective of your codebase."
"I prefer the passing tool that sent an active directory console to a Fortinet FortiAuthenticator, then Fortinet FortiAuthenticator does not pass the locks."
"Intuitive interface and easy to deploy."
"The logs have great detail that make it easier to evaluate and control the security environment."
"It is very stable. We have never had any issues with this solution."
"It keeps track of users and their IPs no matter where they are in the network. When users roam, we don't have to worry about not mapping them to an IP."
"The product's initial setup phase was easy. It is also easy to deploy."
"The product’s most valuable feature is integration with FortiGate, FortiToken, FortiTalk, and multi-factor authentication."
"Features the addition and removal of access as needed for the VPN."
"This is a costly solution and the price of it should be reduced."
"When they introduced the Organizations feature they did support different login screens per organization. However, they introduced a dependency between this feature and another called the New Universal Login Experience. The New Experience is a more lightweight login screen, but it is much less customizable. For example, today, we are able to fully customize our login screen and even control the background image according to the time of day. We have code to do that. But we are not able to write code anymore in the New Experience."
"There is a possibility to improve the machine-to-machine authentication flow. This part of Auth0 is not really well documented, and we could really gain some additional knowledge on that."
"There are indeed areas where the product could improve. For instance, Okta offers various application configurations, enabling access management, which the tool could consider implementing."
"In the past, there was an issue with the multi-tenant where there wasn't the ability to manage them."
"The price modelling is a bit confusing on the site and can be costly."
"There could be easy integration with IoT devices for the product."
"The Management API could be improved so it's easier to get user information."
"We have issues with HA (high availability). These should be addressed in future releases."
"The technical support team is bad."
"If you want some other FortiAuthenticator from one site to another site, you should have requirements, but really if you have authentication and directory or another solution, you should change the password of the authenticator between the solution and the directory and other things. So transfer of data and other information should be simpler."
"Lacks a simplified two-factor authentication process."
"The product must provide full support for third-party FIDO security keys."
"The speed of deployment on the cloud could be improved. It took a few days when it should have been just two days"
"The only way the solution could be improved is if it were cheaper."
"The GUI has some shortcomings and can be made better. The GUI is not great."
