Pros
"The deployment is quick and simple.""I appreciate that it provides comprehensive security. It is tailored to this specific purpose, and it excels in fulfilling this purpose.""The token-based authentication is good and modern aspect.""We like the mobile FortiToken.""Its ease of use is most valuable. It is simple to use and can be deployed out-of-the-box. It is quite a mature product with all the required features.""The initial setup is easy. You receive a QR code via email, scan it, and add it. No complicated procedures involved.""The tool's support is the best.""The integrated Fortinet security with the app that allows you to easily do the two-factor authentication is most valuable."

Cons
"The solution could introduce a mobile application instead of a physical product.""Maybe the price could be improved, and the integration could be better. But the integration is different from the authenticator side.""Fortinet FortiToken could be lower for some markets.""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.""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 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.""Fortinet FortiToken should improve its push notifications."

More Fortinet FortiToken Cons →

"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.""Currently lacks the capability to automatically download certificates in JKS.""Venafi's overall installation could be made easier."

  • "On a scale of one to ten, where one is the cheapest, and ten is the highest, I rate the pricing an eight."

  • "Fortinet FortiToken is not an expensive solution."

    Overview

    As we've seen, passwords alone don't keep unwanted guests out of your network. Password-only authentication has led to security breaches, malware infections, and policy violations. With two-factor authentication, a password is used along with a security token and authentication server to provide far better security.  Authorized employees can remotely access company resources safely using a variety of devices, ranging from lpatops to mobile phones.

    Venafi automates protection for machine identities, which all organizations rely on to keep communications between machines secure and private. Venafi generates the machine identity intelligence necessary to automatically safeguard the flow of information to trusted machines and prevent communication with untrusted ones - all at machine speed and scale.
