Find out in this report how the two Authentication Systems solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The product's on-premise version doesn't have recurring costs."
"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."
"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."
"We have not had issues with Fortinet FortiAuthenticator. It is stable."
"The product enables SSO."
"The initial setup is very easy."
"The two-step authentication provides a higher level of security."
"The product is stable and reliable."
"Automating anything, whether on-prem or cloud, is possible."
"The feature that I have found most valuable is their certificate discovery."
"We use Venafi for PKI certificates."
"Fortinet FortiAuthenticator provides only authentication. It should also enable authorization services"
"The speed of deployment on the cloud could be improved. It took a few days when it should have been just two days"
"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."
"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."
"The integration with other products, for example, some SAML authentications, would make it more flexible."
"Lacks a simplified two-factor authentication process."
"Integration with some other enterprise applications could be improved."
"Currently lacks the capability to automatically download certificates in JKS."
"I would like to see included in the next release of Venafi integration with the cloud HSM's, Hardware Security Module. Additionally, I would say other cloud services, because it's not only cloud that's essential. If you have a customer that has a lot of their IT moved into cloud, integration with different cloud services is always an area to improve."
"Venafi's overall installation could be made easier."
