Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Cisco, Auth0 and others in Single Sign-On (SSO)."For someone concerned with multifactor authentication, I'm satisfied with the product."
"The product is good, cost-effective, and functionally efficient."
"The most valuable features are the performance and ease of use."
"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."
"The solution's most valuable aspect is that it easy to install. The user experience is very good."
"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."
"The product enables SSO."
"This is a scalable product."
"It's improved security; we don't have to worry about people storing password loosely and secure them."
"It is easy to use."
"One feature that is really important to us is the ability to create secure notes."
"Off-boarding of people is easy without changing shared account passwords."
"It's always hard to put a value on return on investment. You avoid one breach and it's paid for a million times over. We got a penetration test company internally, just to see how secure our network is, and there happened to be one bit of software that had been overlooked by an external company that managed it. It hadn't been upgraded so that managed to get them into the network. They would've been able to access through the test thing a file that we had previously. If that was a real-life scenario they would have been able to get into our network and get full access to our organization's passwords. If they did get in, they would have gotten access to the cloud. The ROI we see is that we are completely secured compared to what we had previously where there was a vulnerability."
"Increased security around password management for teams and collaborative efforts with external vendors."
"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."
"Integration with some other enterprise applications could be improved."
"The technical support team is bad."
"I would like to see some email options for Fortinet FortiAuthenticator."
"The product must provide 2FA for applications."
"We had issues trying to integrate the keys properly during the initial setup."
"I would like to see more security features in reference to identity login or identity identification."
"Other features that would improve the product are a single sign-on where people can use their Gmail ID to log-in, etc."
"The user interface and clustering are areas with shortcomings that need improvement."
"The ability to set up an account expiration limit/date would be very useful."
"I also don't like the add-in for Internet Explorer and Google Chrome, because when you do the add-in, you can actually save that to your credentials in your IE, and the problem is, if I left my screen open, or any of the IT people leave their screen open someone could come up and access all their credentials in LastPass without having to put a password in within your own network. I don't like that functionality. We've banned that from any of our staff adding that as an add-in because we see that as a security risk."
"Its user interface should be better, and there should probably be more information about scalability."
"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."
"LastPass has a problem syncing the passwords to all of the users."
"The management through the plugin is poor. It consumes tons of client resources especially as an administrator."
"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."
"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."
