"The product provides secure access to our internal server."
"The tool's support is the best."
"We like the mobile FortiToken."
"The integrated Fortinet security with the app that allows you to easily do the two-factor authentication is most valuable."
"I would rate the overall solution an eight out of ten. The solution is a smart product that anyone can easily access and manage. The solution is a good product for multi-factor authentication and to secure remote authentication in the corporate environment."
"Its ease of use is most valuable. It is simple to use and can be deployed out-of-the-box. It is quite a mature product with all the required features."
"One of the product's most valuable features is its ease of use."
"The most valuable feature of SafeNet Authentication Manager is authentication."
"The technical support services are good."
"I like how the solution allows me to support different types of hardware tokens and integrate with OTP."
"We use this solution to log into virtual machines like VMware and VMware Horizon."
"Scalable and stable."
"We can only use the tool with the FortiToken Mobile app."
"The app could be improved so that you don't have to actually type in the code. It would be great if you can just do a prompt or push similar to the way Duo does."
"Its reporting should be better. The reporting feature is missing. I don't have any reporting of who has done what, what has failed, and what didn't work."
"The solution could introduce a mobile application instead of a physical product."
"Maybe the price could be improved, and the integration could be better. But the integration is different from the authenticator side."
"Configuration can be confusing due to the lack of community and context-sensitive help. We've had to rely on technical support, which slows down the setup process."
"The problem is that our customers create budgets annually based on the figures at the beginning of the fiscal year. Our customers get annoyed when the price is adjusted in the middle of the year. I understand that it's a difficult time, and price increases make sense for hardware devices. However, FortiToken is a software product, so it shouldn't be affected by factors like chip shortages or supply chain issues. Software solutions should have more transparent and predictable pricing."
"Fortinet FortiToken could be lower for some markets."
"The problem with SafeNet is that it's not integrated with Microsoft 365."
"The solution should allow for support of multi-tenant architecture."
"Lacks integration with other platforms."
"The stability could improve."
"The product could be improved by adding more features for sending tokens via SMS or phone calls."
