"The soundness of the solution is its most valuable feature. For example, if you are in our corporate network, you can log on without any traffic interfering."

"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."
"No SMS gateway from the ISP"
"Integration with FortiGate could be more fluid."
"FortiAuthenticator's interface could be better."
"We have encountered instances where it is not easy to do authentication."
"They could use some bio-certification. It's just more user-friendly and more convenient than entering the one time passes. That would be an improvement."

"PingID would benefit from a better user interface for integration."
"PingID's device management portal should be more easily accessible via a link. They provide no link to the portal like they do for the service. The passwordless functionality could be more comprehensive. You can't filter based on hardware devices. Having that filtering option would be great. Device authentication would be a great feature."
"The product is not customizable."
"The management console needs to be improved. PingID should revise it."
"In the beginning, the initial setup was very complex."
