Business Solution and Development Manager at PT ADPS
Tailored to the lifecycle management needs of banks
The customer finds value in adopting a platform from Jira, particularly for the ease it brings to their processes, both for on-premises operations and batch processing. Their objective is to create a new customized server specifically designed for generating certificates. This server is intended for the generation of certificates, emphasizing that it is not meant for free domain replacement. The platform of choice for this purpose is Digital One, a product that offers full customization and aligns well with the customer's preference for tailored solutions. The process of certificate issuance from Microsoft's AB involves renewal or replacement every five years. However, an issue arises in that this particular certificate requires renewal annually instead of the standard five-year cycle. The challenge is attributed to personnel changes, where an administrator responsible for the process resigns within the five-year period. To address this, we seek an automated solution that operates seamlessly with a single sign-on approach, eliminating the need for user IDs or passwords. The automation involves approval and subsequent deployment without complexities. Being a partner of DigiSet, we rely on the implementer for support in service deployment, installation, and resolution of any issues that may arise.

Has strengthened user authentication and remains reliable despite recent license transfer limitations
I love to work with Fortinet FortiToken because it's easy to configure with any user and with FortiAuthenticator. We uploaded it and use it for any authentication with any user, with integration with any device. With FortiAuthenticator, we integrated it with any server, such as Active Directory, and use the token for VPN and other purposes. In the future, we ask customers to use it with FortiAuthenticator, not just the token, as it provides better integration capabilities. When we buy a specific Fortinet FortiToken, we use it on FortiGate only. Fortinet FortiToken provides very important security benefits because it is used to manage FortiGate from outside, exclusively with Fortinet FortiToken. Without Fortinet FortiToken, administrators cannot use or add admin privileges or manage it from outside, as this could lead to attacks or malicious activity.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The public key infrastructure certificates issued by the PKI servers helped me set up good client-server authentic communications."
"The most valuable feature is the communication based on PKI certificates."
"I emphasize the importance of automation in Wi-Fi management, particularly in tasks such as certificate renewal. The requirement extends to the ability to generate new certificates from a local server within the data center. There is a need to establish a new server for local certificate issuance and highlights the desire for automation in the deployment process. The emphasis lies in leveraging automated solutions to streamline these operations effectively."
"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."
"FortiToken is integrated with FortiClient solution for users working from home, providing an additional layer of security by sending OTPs for authentication."
"One of the product's most valuable features is its ease of use."
"If you're looking for a fast installation, easy deployment, and not much maintenance, this is the solution to go for, but the only thing is that it is good for Fortinet."
"The tool's support is the best."
"The deployment is quick and simple."
"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."

"From an automation perspective, PKI is a bit of a debatable topic and can be improved as time demands."
"Fortinet FortiToken could be improved with flexibility to move it from device to device."
"The solution could be more user-friendly."
"I would rate the scalability a seven out of ten. The migration issue definitely brings it down a bit."
"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."
"I do not have any notes for improvement."
"One suggestion is to develop a more user-friendly solution that is cost-effective so that a hardware-based solution can be provided to all users using VPN services or any configuration service requiring confidentiality."
"FortiToken should provide enhanced SMS services for those users who do not have smartphones."
"The solution works well. We have nothing to complain about."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"This solution won't cost much, as this would be free with the licensing from Microsoft."
"I would rate it seven for the price."
"The solution’s price is good."
"I would rate the pricing as an eight out of ten. We purchased the solution at a reasonable price in 2019."
"The pricing is not very high, so I'd rate it around six out of ten, where one is high and ten is low."
"Although the platform is relatively expensive, it offers significant value. I rate the pricing a nine out of ten."
"I rate the tool's pricing a five out of ten."
"Fortinet FortiToken is not an expensive solution."
"Overall, it's cheaper than other solutions. Of course, we evaluated it five years back, and I haven't checked to see its current market position, but one reason we adopted FortiToken is its lower cost of ownership relative to other solutions we evaluated."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is the cheapest, and ten is the highest, I rate the pricing an eight."
