Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Cisco, Fortinet and others in Authentication Systems."Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The solution is pretty solid."
"The tool's support is the best."
"I appreciate that it provides comprehensive security. It is tailored to this specific purpose, and it excels in fulfilling this purpose."
"The deployment is quick and simple."
"Fortinet FortiToken is used for double factor authentication."
"The integrated Fortinet security with the app that allows you to easily do the two-factor authentication is most valuable."
"I would rate the overall solution an eight out of ten. The solution is a smart product that anyone can easily access and manage. The solution is a good product for multi-factor authentication and to secure remote authentication in the corporate environment."
"I like how the solution allows me to support different types of hardware tokens and integrate with OTP."
"Scalable and stable."
"The most valuable feature of SafeNet Authentication Manager is authentication."
"We use this solution to log into virtual machines like VMware and VMware Horizon."
"I would like to see complete OAuth support. Also, if they can support it from a SaaS (Software as a Service) or cloud platform, that would be great."
"Configuration can be confusing due to the lack of community and context-sensitive help. We've had to rely on technical support, which slows down the setup process."
"Fortinet FortiToken should improve its push notifications."
"Fortinet support has some room for improvement. It has taken a long time to resolve some issues or find a workaround."
"The tool could be a little cheaper."
"It needs a lot of coupling with their other Fortinet products. To implement FortiToken, I most probably need to couple it with FortiAuthenticator for full implementation. An RSA token can be used with many devices, whereas Fortinet FortiToken is always linked to only one FortiGate device. If I want to reuse the token across five or six FortiGates, I would have to get the FortiAuthenticator product. I can't use one token to connect to different FortiGates, and I need to get another product to enable this functionality. They should also improve the support for their mobile client. There should be a more detailed roadmap for the operating systems being supported. Some of our users were using an old iOS iPhone, and they were forced to get a newer phone because FortiToken didn't support that version of iOS. Similarly, there may be a version of Android that is not supported, so the users need to change the phone. This was one of the reasons why our deployment took longer."
"The problem is that our customers create budgets annually based on the figures at the beginning of the fiscal year. Our customers get annoyed when the price is adjusted in the middle of the year. I understand that it's a difficult time, and price increases make sense for hardware devices. However, FortiToken is a software product, so it shouldn't be affected by factors like chip shortages or supply chain issues. Software solutions should have more transparent and predictable pricing."
"I would rate the scalability a seven out of ten. The migration issue definitely brings it down a bit."
"The problem with SafeNet is that it's not integrated with Microsoft 365."
"The stability could improve."
"The solution should allow for support of multi-tenant architecture."
"Lacks integration with other platforms."
