Find out in this report how the two Authentication Systems solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The tool's support is the best."
"The deployment is quick and simple."
"FortiToken is available in a soft or hard token factor, so there's some flexibility in that. Beyond that, I would say it is a stable solution that has worked for us."
"The integrated Fortinet security with the app that allows you to easily do the two-factor authentication is most valuable."
"Bangladesh is a price-sensitive market, and FortiToken is popular because it's more affordable than the Palo Alto and Cisco authentication solutions. Fortinet has a local director for Bangladesh, so they can deliver solutions to customers quickly."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"I believe FortiToken is the simplest to implement."
"Fortinet FortiToken is used for double factor authentication."
"The solution is stable. We haven't experienced any bugs or glitches."
"The soundness of the solution is its most valuable feature. For example, if you are in our corporate network, you can log on without any traffic interfering."
"I like the self-service feature. The 502 and UBP systems are also excellent. PingID's ability to authenticate with SSH, RDP, and Windows login is pretty handy. It covers the entire spectrum of use."
"We use the product to run different reports."
"This is a user-friendly solution."
"I find the auto-discovery feature the most valuable. It helps us automate a lot of things using a single password across applications."
"It provides ease of connecting all our devices."
"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."
"Maybe the price could be improved, and the integration could be better. But the integration is different from the authenticator side."
"I would like to see if FortiToken can integrate with Office 365 mail to support the same two-factor authentication experience that I have with ESET. With ESET, when a user logs in, they are easily directed to the ESET authentication page, where they are prompted to enter their OTP after supplying their username and password. I understand from support that FortiToken cannot do this with email integration. That's why I opted for ESET."
"I would like to see complete OAuth support. Also, if they can support it from a SaaS (Software as a Service) or cloud platform, that would be great."
"Fortinet FortiToken should improve its push notifications."
"Fortinet support has some room for improvement. It has taken a long time to resolve some issues or find a workaround."
"Fortinet FortiToken could be lower for some markets."
"The solution could introduce a mobile application instead of a physical product."
"The solution comes with two firewalls as a bundle. In that bundle, most of the individual users can be assigned to mobile users. However, in cases of technical difficulties, users may accidentally remove the mobile application. In normal scenarios, we get back to the activation key and assign it again."
"PingID classifies the type of environment into internal and external, which is an area for improvement because you need to take additional steps to trust internal and external users."
"If the solution is going to compete with Microsoft, they need to offer more unique functionality to keep their current user base."
"They could use some bio-certification. It's just more user-friendly and more convenient than entering the one time passes. That would be an improvement."
"PingID should put a little more effort into making a pretty self-explanatory deck about their tech features and the services they offer."
"I think that the connection with like Microsoft Word, especially for Office 365, is a weak point that could be improved."
"PingID would benefit from a better user interface for integration."
"In the beginning, the initial setup was very complex."
"The solution should allow for better integration with other platforms and the UBT."
