"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 is very scalable because it provides a new environment for companies based on their number of users and other factors. The tool can take a lot of users."
"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'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 most valuable feature of the product is scalability."
"It is easily connected and easy to put our app in single sign-on."
"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."
"Features the addition and removal of access as needed for the VPN."
"We have not had issues with Fortinet FortiAuthenticator. It is stable."
"Simple to deploy, simple to use, and user-friendly."

"The two-step authentication provides a higher level of security."
"The solution is very easy to manage."
"FortiAuthenticator is really good software that integrates very well with Fortinet products."
"The most valuable feature is the OTP on the mobile phone."
"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."
"In the past, there was an issue with the multi-tenant where there wasn't the ability to manage them."
"The tool's price should be improved."
"The product support for multi-tenancy could be improved."
"This is a costly solution and the price of it should be reduced."
"The price modelling is a bit confusing on the site and can be costly."
"The Management API could be improved so it's easier to get user information."
"There could be easy integration with IoT devices for the product."
"We would like to see Linux-based operating systems be able to integrate with FortiAuthenticator to get two-factor authentication running on them. as well. This is a shortcoming that I have faced a few times already."
"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."
"I would like to see more support from Fortinet with tech support people who have as much expertise on the authenticator as they do on their firewalls."
"Fortinet FortiAuthenticator's initial setup process could be easier."
"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."
"For improvement, Fortinet needs to ensure that they provide quick support to users...Fortinet sometimes needs to respond to users facing issues within an hour."
"No SMS gateway from the ISP"
"Integration with some other enterprise applications could be improved."
