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

"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."

"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."

"It is a scalable solution. You can add users and credentials without problems."

"The integration matrix of the solution is huge compared to others."

"I appreciate that it provides comprehensive security. It is tailored to this specific purpose, and it excels in fulfilling this purpose."

"FortiToken is a cost-effective solution compared to other solutions, such as Cisco."

"The token-based authentication is good and modern aspect."

"The integrated Fortinet security with the app that allows you to easily do the two-factor authentication is most valuable."

"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."

"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."

"Fortinet FortiToken is used for double factor authentication."

"The product provides secure access to our internal server."

Cons

"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."

"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."

"The solution could be more user-friendly."

"It could be integrated better if you could have your FortiToken, and the license would allow you to work across multiple FortiGate solutions."

"The problem is that our customers create budgets annually based on the figures at the beginning of the fiscal year. Our customers get annoyed when the price is adjusted in the middle of the year. I understand that it's a difficult time, and price increases make sense for hardware devices. However, FortiToken is a software product, so it shouldn't be affected by factors like chip shortages or supply chain issues. Software solutions should have more transparent and predictable pricing."

"The solution could introduce a mobile application instead of a physical product."

"Fortinet support has some room for improvement. It has taken a long time to resolve some issues or find a workaround."

"I'm not sure if it's already available, however, I wonder if there's an option to have it sent to my email address instead of having it on the mobile app."

"You need your mobile just to enroll the tokens, and sometimes, it's difficult to use for someone who is not knowledgeable"

"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."

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."

"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 from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing a six out of ten."

"I rate the tool's pricing a five out of ten."

"It is included as part of our firewall license."

"From an Indian perspective, it's definitely costlier."

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

"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 solution’s pricing is moderate and reasonable."

Overview

Identity Enterprise is an integrated IAM platform that supports a full suite of workforce, consumer, and citizen use cases. Ideally suited for high-assurance applications that require a Zero Trust approach for thousands or millions of users, Identity Enterprise can be deployed on-premises.

Entrust

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.
