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."Bangladesh is a price-sensitive market, and FortiToken is popular because it's more affordable than the Palo Alto and Cisco authentication solutions. Fortinet has a local director for Bangladesh, so they can deliver solutions to customers quickly."
"The solution is pretty solid."
"Its ease of installation is most valuable. It took me five minutes, and it was up and running. It didn't take me that long. The installation on the cell phones is pretty simple."
"The initial setup is easy. You receive a QR code via email, scan it, and add it. No complicated procedures involved."
"I believe FortiToken is the simplest to implement."
"Fortinet FortiToken provides security and authenticates that the right external people are working with a company's system."
"The token-based authentication is good and modern aspect."
"I appreciate that it provides comprehensive security. It is tailored to this specific purpose, and it excels in fulfilling this purpose."
"Azure Active Directory's single sign-on feature has been helpful because users don't need to authenticate again and again each time they access it. Users only need to sign in the first time, and Azure handles everything. We haven't experienced any errors or security-related issues in the past four years. Many people use our protection servers from outside, requiring multi-factor authentication. Each authentication is logged precisely."
"Its ability to provide secure connections to people at all locations is the most valuable. It is mostly used by enterprises."
"It is pretty good in terms of stability."
"Active Directory itself is the best feature it has. It also gives us a single pane of glass for managing user access."
"The solution is free to use and you can use it for every service."
"The most valuable features of this solution are definitely the authorization and authentication, and the rule-based user validation."
"The two-factor authentication provides an additional layer of security for our organizational data, so Microsoft Authenticator plays a crucial role in making our confidential data more secure."
"The feature that I have found most valuable is its authentication security. That is Azure Active Directory's purpose - making cloud services' security and integration easier."
"Fortinet support has some room for improvement. It has taken a long time to resolve some issues or find a workaround."
"I would rate the scalability a seven out of ten. The migration issue definitely brings it down a bit."
"The solution works well. We have nothing to complain about."
"The app could be improved so that you don't have to actually type in the code. It would be great if you can just do a prompt or push similar to the way Duo does."
"Support is a pain point in Bangladesh because there aren't many experienced Fortinet engineers in this country. It's easier to find one certified in Cisco, Palo Alto, or Juniper."
"The tool could be a little cheaper."
"Maybe the price could be improved, and the integration could be better. But the integration is different from the authenticator side."
"It could be integrated better if you could have your FortiToken, and the license would allow you to work across multiple FortiGate solutions."
"I want to be able to identify the audiences effectively and manage them."
"Tech support is inconsistent."
"Maybe there could be a dashboard view for Active Directory with some pie or bar charts on who is logged in, who is not logged in, and on the activity of each user for the past few days: whether they're active or not active."
"The solution can improve the educational portion because it is an administration cost."
"The support is a bit slow."
"At first, it was a bit challenging to come up with a workaround that would get authentication to work."
"The ease of use regarding finding audit information for users could also be improved."
"The custom role creation function could be improved as it's somewhat tricky to use."
