Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Cisco, Auth0 and others in Single Sign-On (SSO)."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."
"I work a lot with Fortinet products and I call the support often. They are very quick to respond and the support is very good."
"Enables easy integration, allowing for 2FA with our VPN."
"It keeps track of users and their IPs no matter where they are in the network. When users roam, we don't have to worry about not mapping them to an IP."
"FortiAuthenticator is really good software that integrates very well with Fortinet products."
"The logs have great detail that make it easier to evaluate and control the security environment."
"The web feature is quite versatile. It serves as the sole server authenticator and is valuable not only with FortiGate products but also within the entire Forti system, making it highly useful for me."
"I appreciate its ability to provide multi-factor authentication, but it's primarily focused on this function."
"The most valuable feature is the liberty of keeping encrypted passwords and elevated information in a sealed vault."
"The most valuable feature for me is being able to pair applications and user permissions."
"It is easy to use."
"It's improved security; we don't have to worry about people storing password loosely and secure them."
"The initial setup for this process is straightforward and extremely easy. It just works."
"The stability has been rock solid. A couple of years ago, they were breached. However, if you had two-factor authentication enabled, it didn't affect you. We did, so it has been good."
"Until now, I haven't found anything like the dashboard. It gives you a security score. I find that to be really great. The Sharing Center is really great as well. And the Security Challenge is really great too."
"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."
"The technical support team is bad."
"The speed of deployment on the cloud could be improved. It took a few days when it should have been just two days"
"The only issue I encounter is that when not using FortiAuthenticator for an extended period, it's typical to encounter some obstacles in the configuration process that you need to address."
"The user interface and clustering are areas with shortcomings that need improvement."
"Fortinet FortiAuthenticator provides only authentication. It should also enable authorization services"
"I don't have any issues with this solution, but it may need a better, more user-friendly interface or better design of the platform."
"They could expand FortiAuthenticator's capabilities to accommodate a broader range of environments."
"The customization capability of Fortinet FortiAuthenticator is not very flexible."
"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."
"It is not super feature laden. It does not stand out versus the competition."
"Our biggest issue over the years was around the stability of the LDAP sync to AD."
"The ability to set up an account expiration limit/date would be very useful."
"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."
"I would like to be able to reduce the log out time of the session."
"LastPass has a problem syncing the passwords to all of the users."
"I struggle a little bit with the mobile app. As a browser extension, it works really well, and we are able to get to what we need to. However, on the phone, it's not quite as easy to navigate."
