We performed a comparison between Fortinet FortiAuthenticator, Keeper, and Symantec Siteminder based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Cisco, Auth0 and others in Single Sign-On (SSO)."I prefer the passing tool that sent an active directory console to a Fortinet FortiAuthenticator, then Fortinet FortiAuthenticator does not pass the locks."
"FortiAuthenticator is a very good solution. It is all jury-based. FortiAuthenticator is very easy for anyone to understand how it works and be able to take action."
"We have a perpetual license for 2FA."
"The solution is very easy to manage."
"For someone concerned with multifactor authentication, I'm satisfied with the product."
"The feature I value the most is the one-time passwords because it helps to authenticate users so you know the timing of their usage."
"We have not had issues with Fortinet FortiAuthenticator. It is stable."
"FortiAuthenticator is easy to use."
"A useful solution for storing encryption keys, programming and developing a SaaS platform."
"What I like the most is the fact that I can just mark anything and it is automatically copied into the clipboard."
"Auto login across platforms allows for no copying and pasting."
"Support is very quick to respond, and they have fixed any issues that I have had."
"Available for Windows platforms and also Mac OS and Linux systems."
"The generator of complex passwords keeps me safe from being hacked."
"Enables IT department to force very complex passwords for certain users."
"The possibility of assigning information to different groups and individuals has been the most valuable."
"It has considerably reduced the amount of time that new users would take to join into the organization. Previously, it was a lengthy, manual process because it's a very secure environment, where they need to verify the user before they can actually grant him a user-ID and password. Integrating with the built-in custom application, and exposing CA Single Sign On to the internet, we were able to get the employees onboard. The time that we gained was: previously it would generally take from four to eight weeks for each employee, we brought it to one to two days."
"The most valuable feature is the Federation part of Single Sign On, which is customizable and is easily integrated with any customer application or any third party application."
"The most valuable feature is the integration with the Active Directory."
"Right now, federation that comes out-of-the-box with single sign-on is the most valuable feature that we have, and also scalability."
"It is very scalable. We have a very large customer base: 75 million customers."
"It has the ability to authenticate and authorize users. It is the main feature for our security."
"Federation is valuable, for sure, because we have a lot of third-party vendors that we need to integrate with, and this is a turnkey solution in some ways."
"It provides the breadth and the width to provide solutions for the different kinds of technologies which we have."
"We had issues trying to integrate the keys properly during the initial setup."
"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."
"Lacks a simplified two-factor authentication process."
"The integration with other products, for example, some SAML authentications, would make it more flexible."
"We have issues with HA (high availability). These should be addressed in future releases."
"They could expand FortiAuthenticator's capabilities to accommodate a broader range of environments."
"The hardware aspect of the solution could be improved. We are not really able to understand the hardware capabilities of the device."
"I would like to see some email options for Fortinet FortiAuthenticator."
"Maybe a sort of category organizer to help with organizing passwords for different things, such as banking, medical, shopping, and school."
"The organization of items needs improvement. For example, when I log onto the cloud version as well, everything is shown on my folder. It is hard to differentiate between files and documents in my list of items I have stored inside."
"Needs to provide an API to be integrated with the information systems and offer secure file hosting service with sharing and editing capabilities."
"Room for improvement in my eyes would be being able to share my credit cards and other types of information. The only thing they really share is passwords, and you can only do it with one password at a time. When you're trying to share it out or trying to remove it from being shared, you can't do multiple selections."
"Needs to improve KeeperFill on iOS."
"Possible offline access to passwords. Therefore, when internet access is unavailable, I can still access my vault."
"The user experience and the mobile app could be improved."
"If you purchase the premium, then after the subscription expires, you cannot edit your passwords any longer, even if you could before you purchased the paid subscription."
"To add more value to this solution it needs to be more user-friendly."
"The main thing is we do not have the traceability and good monitoring that CA can provide us to capture problems when they occur."
"The GUIs are not very clear, especially when integrating with other products from CA."
"I would like to see a move towards the newer technologies, which is what we are doing right now. I think that's in the roadmap that's coming, in the 12.8 and 14 releases, but we would like to have it sooner than later."
"An area Siteminder could improve on is that there are a few limitations, in terms of new protocols for OpenID. If I want to have different scopes, the features are limited. They also do not have APIs exposed, which is a major drawback. API is a feature I would like to see included in the next release."
"I'd like to see a rework of the user directory configuration."
"We are finding some compatibility issues. We're still working with CA on them."
"The technical support could be better."
