"The initial setup of Fortinet FortiAuthenticator is easy."

"The web feature is quite versatile. It serves as the sole server authenticator and is valuable not only with FortiGate products but also within the entire Forti system, making it highly useful for me."
"The first valuable feature is being able to see everything on one platform. This includes logs and authentication failure."
"I prefer the passing tool that sent an active directory console to a Fortinet FortiAuthenticator, then Fortinet FortiAuthenticator does not pass the locks."

"The most valuable features of Okta Workforce Identity are SSO, MFA, and beneficial feature sets."
"The product requires very little maintenance."
"I like the tool's workflows, which is user-friendly. It can integrate with different applications. I particularly like that users are delighted to access their applications without the hassle of entering their username and password each time. It truly enhances user-friendliness."
"It's reliable and it does what it is advertised to do."
"The MFA part is the best. MFA provided most of the security that we were looking at with respect to the second level of authentication. Okta Workforce Identity provides a number of options with respect to multifactor authentication, such as the app, phone call, and text. These options provide different ways of logging in for users, and they were a lot more than what we needed. This is certainly a very good feature of Okta Workforce Identity."
"The most valuable features are ease of operation and visibility."
"The support for YubiKey is really good because you don't actually have to type in your username and password."

"Lacks a simplified two-factor authentication process."
"The user interface and clustering are areas with shortcomings that need improvement."
"A better integration with other vendors."
"Integration with some other enterprise applications could be improved."
"There is room for improvement in stability and support."
"It does the job I paid for, but the graphical interface could be improved."
"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."
"The ability or the options in the solution for changing the look and feel are not good enough because in our partner portal, essentially what they have is an ugly admin interface."
"It can have more API integrations."
"The solution's user interface needs to be improved and made easy."
"SSO and MFA for improved end-user experience, and protection against password spray attacks, account password self-service."
"UD attribute mapping, Okta group rules, and dynamic usage could use improvement. It also needs more in-depth functionality and features to integrate with RADIUS solutions."
"In some setup cases, there are issues with attributes not going in properly."
"RESTful Web Service calls and their response seem a bit slow."
"It only facilitates provisioning and not de-provisioning."
