"I work a lot with Fortinet products and I call the support often. They are very quick to respond and the support is very good."
"The mobile biometric authentication option improved user experience. It's always about security because, with two-factor authentication, it's always a separate device verifying the actual user logging in."
"The solution is stable. We haven't experienced any bugs or glitches."
"I find the auto-discovery feature the most valuable. It helps us automate a lot of things using a single password across applications."
"It is a scalable solution...It is a stable solution."
"It gets a mobility portal in place in conjunction with Office 365. It provides very good possibilities and it's much better than other technology that we have used before which was unstable and slower."
"We use the product to run different reports."
"It's pretty stable as a product."
"The solution has a smooth and configurable user interface for single sign-on capabilities."

"The user interface and clustering are areas with shortcomings that need improvement."
"FortiAuthenticator's interface could be better."
"PingID would benefit from a better user interface for integration."
"The product is not customizable."
"PingID's device management portal should be more easily accessible via a link. They provide no link to the portal like they do for the service. The passwordless functionality could be more comprehensive. You can't filter based on hardware devices. Having that filtering option would be great. Device authentication would be a great feature."
"The solution should allow for better integration with other platforms and the UBT."
"I think that the connection with like Microsoft Word, especially for Office 365, is a weak point that could be improved."
"It has a long way to go until it is a cloud-based solution."
"If the solution is going to compete with Microsoft, they need to offer more unique functionality to keep their current user base."
"The timing of the token validity, if it could be extended, would be great. I'm not sure if there is even an option to configure these types of settings."
