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."Features the addition and removal of access as needed for the VPN."
"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 most valuable feature is integration with FortiGate, FortiToken, FortiTalk, and multi-factor authentication."
"The initial setup is very easy."
"The product's initial setup phase was easy. It is also easy to deploy."
"The product is stable and reliable."
"For someone concerned with multifactor authentication, I'm satisfied with the product."
"The initial setup of Fortinet FortiAuthenticator is easy."
"The initial setup for this process is straightforward and extremely easy. It just works."
"The most valuable feature for me is being able to pair applications and user permissions."
"The most valuable feature is the liberty of keeping encrypted passwords and elevated information in a sealed vault."
"The stability has been rock solid. A couple of years ago, they were breached. However, if you had two-factor authentication enabled, it didn't affect you. We did, so it has been good."
"This product helps keep us secure."
"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."
"It's improved security; we don't have to worry about people storing password loosely and secure them."
"It is easy to use."
"I would like to see more ways to authenticate, such as adding facial recognition to the two-factor, where you log into your phone or another device."
"The GUI is on the older side but I'm sure that it will be upgraded soon. It works, but it looks a little dated."
"Fortinet FortiAuthenticator provides only authentication. It should also enable authorization services"
"The hardware aspect of the solution could be improved. We are not really able to understand the hardware capabilities of the device."
"I don't have any issues with this solution, but it may need a better, more user-friendly interface or better design of the platform."
"We have issues with HA (high availability). These should be addressed in future releases."
"The product must provide full support for third-party FIDO security keys."
"The solution could be more automated. It should be able to let me automate a lot of things so that what normally is done as a matter of manual processes can be handled quicker. Slow integrations can be taken up/out if there was more automation."
"It is not super feature laden. It does not stand out versus the competition."
"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."
"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."
"The ability to set up an account expiration limit/date would be very useful."
"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."
"I would like to be able to reduce the log out time of the session."
"The management through the plugin is poor. It consumes tons of client resources especially as an administrator."
