All the features align perfectly with the CISA zero-trust framework
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 offers advanced frictionless multifactor authentication with a very sophisticated risk engine. The risk engine is a critical component of user authentication because risk scanning has multiple variables, including geolocation. When you're receiving attacks from an internet-facing side of the equation, the risk is greater for login attempts that originate outside of your home country. For example, the risk engine detects that a person is trying to authenticate with these credentials, but he's not in Puerto Rico. He's in Russia. You immediately deny access. Employees can do multifactor authentication with face ID or a push notification on their phone. They only need to put their faces up to the phone and press "yes" to be securely identified. It's a highly secure, frictionless form of authentication.

Offers mobile token-based two-factor authentication (2FA) but management configuration is complex
We had internal authentication systems but not a product-based system from a security company. Most of our previous authentication systems were internal. This is the first one that integrates with network and server equipment, and it can even be implemented for SSL. It's the first security system software we've used. We chose Fortinet FortiToken because it integrates well with our existing Fortinet FortiGate firewall UTM appliance. Since the token is a VM, it doesn't require additional hardware, which would have been an unnecessary expense. In terms of manageability and integration, it seemed like a good fit alongside FortiGate and FortiMail, all from the same Fortinet ecosystem.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"This solution is flexible and easy to use for our clients. We use it with different kinds of applications and integrate it with different processes."
"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 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."
"The integration matrix of the solution is huge compared to others."
"It is a scalable solution. You can add users and credentials without problems."
"The deployment is quick and simple."
"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."
"One of the product's most valuable features is its ease of use."
"Fortinet FortiToken provides security and authenticates that the right external people are working with a company's system."
"Fortinet FortiToken is used for double factor authentication."
"We like the mobile FortiToken."
"I love the push-button authentication on FortiToken Mobile. It's also great that the soft token automatically reloads the OTP at intervals, so I always have a fresh code to enter."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
 

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."
"The product is very costly compared to other alternative solutions."
"I would like to improve the tool's implementation and pricing."
"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."
"They could enhance synchronization with mobile applications, and addressing minor issues with authentication could further improve user experience."
"Maybe the price could be improved, and the integration could be better. But the integration is different from the authenticator side."
"The tool could be a little cheaper."
"The Fortinet FortiToken server doesn't have centralized integration with other Fortinet tools and third-party tools."
"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."
"I would like to see if FortiToken can integrate with Office 365 mail to support the same two-factor authentication experience that I have with ESET. With ESET, when a user logs in, they are easily directed to the ESET authentication page, where they are prompted to enter their OTP after supplying their username and password. I understand from support that FortiToken cannot do this with email integration. That's why I opted for ESET."
"The solution comes with two firewalls as a bundle. In that bundle, most of the individual users can be assigned to mobile users. However, in cases of technical difficulties, users may accidentally remove the mobile application. In normal scenarios, we get back to the activation key and assign it again."
"We can only use the tool with the FortiToken Mobile app."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's worth the money."
"I would rate the product's pricing a five out of ten."
"The subscription could be yearly or monthly, depending upon your choice."
"I rate the tool's pricing a five out of ten."
"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."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is the cheapest, and ten is the highest, I rate the pricing an eight."
"The solution’s pricing is moderate and reasonable."
"The pricing is not very high, so I'd rate it around six out of ten, where one is high and ten is low."
"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."
"Fortinet FortiToken is not an expensive solution."
