"Enables easy integration, allowing for 2FA with our VPN."
"The initial setup of Fortinet FortiAuthenticator is easy."
"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."
"We use this product for SSL two-factor authentication and FortiToken management."
"I appreciate its ability to provide multi-factor authentication, but it's primarily focused on this function."
"The solution is easy to learn and makes it easy for our users to add FortiToken. It's very easy to integrate if you have other Fortinet devices."
"We have a perpetual license for 2FA."
"We mainly implemented UserLock for multi-factor authentication, but the user login insights are also nice."
"The most valuable features are two-factor authentication and real-time logon monitoring."

"The price of the solution could improve, it is expensive."
"The only way the solution could be improved is if it were cheaper."
"There are multiple areas that are in need of improvement. It is not a mature product."
"I would like to see some email options for Fortinet FortiAuthenticator."
"The GUI has some shortcomings and can be made better. The GUI is not great."
"We have issues with HA (high availability). These should be addressed in future releases."
"The product and service are already great as it is but if I could add one feature, I guess it would be nice to have another factor of authentication (two additional factors) like your phone and a token for example, for when people forget their phone at home."
"I would like to see UserLock add the ability to automatically create a group policy in Active Directory. That might streamline the setup process."
