Facilitates secure 2FA for admins, facilitates OTP generation, and enhances security
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. This would allow for broader distribution among a larger number of system admins and software engineers, which is currently not feasible with the existing hardware-only approach.

Quotes from Members

Pros

"The solution is easy to use."
"The initial setup of ESET EDR_XDR is very simple, easy to deploy, and manage."
"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."
"The deployment is quick and simple."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."

"One of the product's most valuable features is its ease of use."
"The tool's support is the best."
"Fortinet FortiToken has impacted my organization positively by providing enhanced security through an additional security layer."
 

Cons

"The solution could improve how it scours each website."
"ESET EDR_XDR needs to conduct more research and development and innovations in early detection of attacks."
"It could be integrated better if you could have your FortiToken, and the license would allow you to work across multiple FortiGate solutions."
"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."
"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."
"Maybe the price could be improved, and the integration could be better. But the integration is different from the authenticator side."
"The solution could be more user-friendly."
"The solution could introduce a mobile application instead of a physical product."
"We can only use the tool with the FortiToken Mobile app."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the solution’s pricing a six or seven out of ten.."
"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."
"Fortinet FortiToken is not an expensive solution."
"I rate the tool's pricing a five out of ten."
"I would rate the pricing as an eight out of ten. We purchased the solution at a reasonable price in 2019."
"The solution’s pricing is moderate and reasonable."
"The platform's licensing cost is reasonable for our organization."
"From an Indian perspective, it's definitely costlier."
"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."
