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."I appreciate its ability to provide multi-factor authentication, but it's primarily focused on this function."
"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."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is RADIUS service and the social network integration feature."
"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 implementation has significantly improved access management within our organization."
"The product is stable and reliable."
"The most valuable features of Fortinet FortiAuthenticator are easy to configure, secure, and the application has good performance."
"It reduces the need for network administrator intervention by allowing the user to perform their own registration and resolve their own password problems and issues."
"The most valuable features are two-factor authentication and real-time logon monitoring."
"We mainly implemented UserLock for multi-factor authentication, but the user login insights are also nice."
"There is room for improvement in stability and support."
"Integration with some other enterprise applications could be improved."
"I would like to see some email options for Fortinet FortiAuthenticator."
"I would like to see integration and customization capabilities with the end-user portal to solve authentication issues with diverse implementation scenarios."
"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."
"There are some protocols, such as SHA and SHA-2, that are not supported."
"The price of the solution could improve, it is expensive."
"The integration with other products, for example, some SAML authentications, would make it more flexible."
"I would like to see UserLock add the ability to automatically create a group policy in Active Directory. That might streamline the setup process."
"The product and service are already great as it is but if I could add one feature, I guess it would be nice to have another factor of authentication (two additional factors) like your phone and a token for example, for when people forget their phone at home."
