Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Okta, Ping Identity and others in Single Sign-On (SSO).
It enhances security by ensuring only the right person can access systems, even if their login credentials are compromised.
Any PAM solution, when I deploy it well and customers use it, leads to a return on investment.
At times, some technical staff lack knowledge, which delays issue resolution.
Customer service and support are excellent.
When we send a ticket to Fortinet, they go into research mode as if they are hearing the problem for the first time.
I sometimes need escalations to reach expertise.
Sometimes, I get a very helpful response and they address issues on a call.
When I have day-to-day incidents and problems, the response is good enough in terms of time and quality.
The scalability of FortiAuthenticator is good, and I would rate it an eight on a scale of one to ten.
I find Fortinet FortiAuthenticator to be highly scalable, and I would rate it an eight out of ten for scalability.
The scalability of One Identity Safeguard is perfect, scoring ten out of ten.

I would rate it a nine out of ten for stability.
In terms of stability, I rate One Identity Safeguard nine to ten out of ten.
I encounter problems primarily with the failover procedure.
For example, authentication for wireless users expires after 24 hours, requiring re-authentication daily.
I recommend Fortinet make its images migratable between environments.
The technical support could be improved as some staff lacks the necessary knowledge to assist effectively.
For some configurations on the SPS side, if I need to make changes, such as for DNS servers, I must redeploy the machine.
There are many steps. We are still in the onboarding phase, and it seems very manual.
Another area for improvement could be the threat detection capabilities, like those seen in other PAM vendors.
Fortinet FortiAuthenticator is not overly expensive compared to other Fortinet subscriptions.
It is one of those where the more you buy, the cheaper it is.
It is cheaper than CyberArk.

We use multi-factor authentication for enhancing security.
The most valuable feature I find in FortiAuthenticator is web filtering.
The auditing and approval mechanisms are features we did not have before and are greatly appreciated.
I think One Identity should improve its documentation because it is vast and not clear, and clear documentation on implementing the solution would be advantageous for consultants.
Compared to other PAM solutions, it is easy to implement and use from an administrator's point of view.
