Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Cisco, Auth0 and others in Single Sign-On (SSO)."We have not had issues with Fortinet FortiAuthenticator. It is stable."
"The feature I value the most is the one-time passwords because it helps to authenticate users so you know the timing of their usage."
"Simple to deploy, simple to use, and user-friendly."
"The initial setup of Fortinet FortiAuthenticator is easy."
"The logs have great detail that make it easier to evaluate and control the security environment."
"The initial setup is very easy."
"It reduces the need for network administrator intervention by allowing the user to perform their own registration and resolve their own password problems and issues."
"It integrates very tightly with the rest of the Fortinet ecosystem."
"Reduction in number of sensitive passwords stored insecurely on local systems."
"It's always hard to put a value on return on investment. You avoid one breach and it's paid for a million times over. We got a penetration test company internally, just to see how secure our network is, and there happened to be one bit of software that had been overlooked by an external company that managed it. It hadn't been upgraded so that managed to get them into the network. They would've been able to access through the test thing a file that we had previously. If that was a real-life scenario they would have been able to get into our network and get full access to our organization's passwords. If they did get in, they would have gotten access to the cloud. The ROI we see is that we are completely secured compared to what we had previously where there was a vulnerability."
"One feature that is really important to us is the ability to create secure notes."
"The stability has been rock solid. A couple of years ago, they were breached. However, if you had two-factor authentication enabled, it didn't affect you. We did, so it has been good."
"It is easy to use."
"The shared folders is an important feature. It's the primary feature we use. Also, the ability for LastPass to autofill and hide the passwords, so we don't have to keep changing passwords every time a person leaves, is valuable."
"It's improved security; we don't have to worry about people storing password loosely and secure them."
"Off-boarding of people is easy without changing shared account passwords."
"The customization capability of Fortinet FortiAuthenticator is not very flexible."
"The product must provide full support for third-party FIDO security keys."
"I would like to see more support from Fortinet with tech support people who have as much expertise on the authenticator as they do on their firewalls."
"I would like to see more ways to authenticate, such as adding facial recognition to the two-factor, where you log into your phone or another device."
"We have issues with HA (high availability). These should be addressed in future releases."
"There is a room for improvement. The log is a bit difficult to access, and searching the log codes is also a bit difficult. So it would be much better if, when we open a log, it could provide detailed information about errors, reasons for failure, and such."
"It would be helpful to receive a code by yourself for authentication instead of it registered to a phone."
"Other features that would improve the product are a single sign-on where people can use their Gmail ID to log-in, etc."
"The biggest thing is there is no good way to have LastPass rotate passwords without human intervention. Right now, we have to go into each folder, then rotate and manually update each password. It can be done it by loading a bunch of passwords into a spreadsheet, but this makes the whole process insecure because then the passwords have been noted into a spreadsheet which have to be upload. We have to go into 40 to 50 applications and manually update passwords, because we don't view their solution of writing a bunch of passwords on a spreadsheet, then uploading them as a secure solution. This should be done internally within LastPass."
"I also don't like the add-in for Internet Explorer and Google Chrome, because when you do the add-in, you can actually save that to your credentials in your IE, and the problem is, if I left my screen open, or any of the IT people leave their screen open someone could come up and access all their credentials in LastPass without having to put a password in within your own network. I don't like that functionality. We've banned that from any of our staff adding that as an add-in because we see that as a security risk."
"Right now we have two products; there is the password manager and there is the authenticator app. Ideally, these should be fully integrated and support better handling of two-factor authentication or any other authenticator data."
"The ability to set up an account expiration limit/date would be very useful."
"It is not super feature laden. It does not stand out versus the competition."
"Our biggest issue over the years was around the stability of the LDAP sync to AD."
"We have issues from time to time where, for some reason, it just keeps auto logging-out the user and then, the next day, they'll come in and it will work just fine."
"I would like to be able to reduce the log out time of the session."
