Provides strong authentication feature, which requires users to enter a one-time password (OTP)
The main issue I've noticed pertains to setting up the desktop client on virtual machines in Azure, GCP, or AWS, specifically for Entrust Identity Enterprise intended for on-premises use. It works for on-premises, but I'm not sure if it's fully supported in cloud environments. If support were added, it would function perfectly with on-premises configurations. So, it functions well on-premises, but integrating it with cloud services like AWS or Azure could be challenging. There are issues with cloud integrations, such as Azure, AWS, and GCP.

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 integration matrix of the solution is huge compared to others."
"This solution is flexible and easy to use for our clients, and we use it with different kinds of applications and integrate it with different processes."
"It is a scalable solution. You can add users and credentials without problems."
"Entrust Identity Enterprise is a very mature product, it is very reliable and there are many use cases for which you can use the solution."
"I am impressed with Entrust because they are one of the most advanced identity access management companies. Their portfolio of products is well aligned with the CISA zero trust framework. If you compare the features of Entrust products with the CISA pillars of zero trust, you'll see that they're perfectly matched with CISA requirements."
"Entrust is an enterprise account, and they have a support system. Their training is also top-notch, and they are willing to share their knowledge with their partners."
"I appreciate that it provides comprehensive security. It is tailored to this specific purpose, and it excels in fulfilling this purpose."
"Fortinet FortiToken has a lot of RADIUS functionality."
"It provides me with the token so that I can do the Multi-Factor Authentication."
"Fortinet FortiToken has impacted my organization positively by providing enhanced security through an additional security layer."
"Fortinet FortiToken provides security and authenticates that the right external people are working with a company's system."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"FortiToken is integrated with FortiClient solution for users working from home, providing an additional layer of security by sending OTPs for authentication."
"Fortinet FortiToken is used for double factor authentication."
 

Cons

"We are introducing new processes and are migrating to a new version. Once we explore new functionalities, we'll be able to assess what could be improved."
"It functions well on-premises, but integrating it with cloud services like AWS or Azure could be challenging. There are issues with cloud integrations, such as Azure, AWS, and GCP."
"The product is very costly compared to other alternative solutions."
"It would be better if the on-prem Entrust Identity Enterprise solution could have the same features as the cloud version because the latter is easier to use."
"I would like to improve the tool's implementation and pricing."
"Fortinet FortiToken could be improved with flexibility to move it from device to device."
"Maybe the price could be improved, and the integration could be better. But the integration is different from the authenticator side."
"The Fortinet FortiToken server doesn't have centralized integration with other Fortinet tools and third-party tools."
"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 solution could be more user-friendly."
"I would rate Fortinet FortiToken a six out of ten."
"Its reporting should be better. The reporting feature is missing. I don't have any reporting of who has done what, what has failed, and what didn't work."
"They could enhance synchronization with mobile applications, and addressing minor issues with authentication could further improve user experience."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I would rate the product's pricing a five out of ten."
"It's worth the money."
"The subscription could be yearly or monthly, depending upon your choice."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is the cheapest, and ten is the highest, I rate the pricing an eight."
"I rate the tool's pricing a five out of ten."
"The platform's licensing cost is reasonable for our organization."
"I would rate the pricing as an eight out of ten. We purchased the solution at a reasonable price in 2019."
"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."
"The solution’s pricing is moderate and reasonable."
"The solution’s price is good."
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing a six out of ten."
