Has strengthened user authentication and remains reliable despite recent license transfer limitations

I love to work with Fortinet FortiToken because it's easy to configure with any user and with FortiAuthenticator. We uploaded it and use it for any authentication with any user, with integration with any device. With FortiAuthenticator, we integrated it with any server, such as Active Directory, and use the token for VPN and other purposes. In the future, we ask customers to use it with FortiAuthenticator, not just the token, as it provides better integration capabilities. When we buy a specific Fortinet FortiToken, we use it on FortiGate only. Fortinet FortiToken provides very important security benefits because it is used to manage FortiGate from outside, exclusively with Fortinet FortiToken. Without Fortinet FortiToken, administrators cannot use or add admin privileges or manage it from outside, as this could lead to attacks or malicious activity.

Enhanced security, reliable, helpful technical support, and easy to install

RSA SecurID Access is a scalable solution. I would rate the scalability of RSA SecurID Access a nine out of ten. Initially, our organization had around 250 users for whom we were aware of the usage of the solution. However, there were certain users for whom we were not notified due to the nature of their job, and hence we were not aware of their usage. Eventually, we decided to scale the solution for all our 4,000 users. Currently, we are using it for 250 users only. There is a high likelihood that we will expand our usage in the future.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"Fortinet FortiToken is used for double factor authentication."

"Fortinet FortiToken provides very important security benefits because it is used to manage FortiGate from outside, exclusively with Fortinet FortiToken."

"The deployment is quick and simple."

"The tool's support is the best."

"It provides me with the token so that I can do the Multi-Factor Authentication."

"The solution is simple and similar to Google Authenticator. It follows time-based authentication. We use it for hardware and software in one environment. The tool offers simple and fast authentication for SSL."

"Their resolution time is timely, and they provide solutions efficiently."

"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."

More Fortinet FortiToken pros

"The most valuable features of RSA SecurID Access are push notifications, multifactor authentication, and ease of integration and deployment."

"One of the most valuable feature is the ID soft token and hard token."

"I would say that the two-factor authentication and the ease of installation and configuration are the most valuable features of this solution."

"It is a scalable solution."

"I think it is really good when it comes to the hard token side of things."

Cons

"They could enhance synchronization with mobile applications, and addressing minor issues with authentication could further improve user experience."

"The solution works well. We have nothing to complain about."

"The solution could introduce a mobile application instead of a physical product."

"It could be integrated better if you could have your FortiToken, and the license would allow you to work across multiple FortiGate solutions."

"I'm not sure if it's already available, however, I wonder if there's an option to have it sent to my email address instead of having it on the mobile app."

"I would rate the scalability a seven out of ten. The migration issue definitely brings it down a bit."

"You need your mobile just to enroll the tokens, and sometimes, it's difficult to use for someone who is not knowledgeable"

"In my opinion, Fortinet FortiToken can be improved based on specific requirements. We will suggest solutions based on customer requirements and price availability."

More Fortinet FortiToken cons

"The interface needs to improve a lot. It should be easier to manage and navigate."

"It doesn't offer an agent-based or reverse-proxy-based approach to integration, which could enhance its flexibility."

"There are different compliances across the globe; RSA SecurID Access could be more complaint-based."

"Sometimes, we encounter issues with other applications that are not compatible with RSA SecurID Access and require expert troubleshooting. At those times, we need additional support from an implementation perspective. This is an area where Oracle can improve as there is no substitute for reliable and efficient support."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"On a scale of one to ten, where one is the cheapest, and ten is the highest, I rate the pricing an eight."

"The platform's licensing cost is reasonable for our organization."

"Although the platform is relatively expensive, it offers significant value. I rate the pricing a nine out of ten."

"Fortinet FortiToken is not an expensive solution."

"Overall, it's cheaper than other solutions. Of course, we evaluated it five years back, and I haven't checked to see its current market position, but one reason we adopted FortiToken is its lower cost of ownership relative to other solutions we evaluated."

"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing a six out of ten."

"The pricing is not very high, so I'd rate it around six out of ten, where one is high and ten is low."

"I would rate the pricing as an eight out of ten. We purchased the solution at a reasonable price in 2019."

More Fortinet FortiToken pricing and cost advice

"RSA SecurID Access is expensive."

"I think the price of this solution is reasonable compared to YubiKey and Duo given that it offers the same similar features."

RSA SecurID Access, RSA Access Manager

Overview

As we've seen, passwords alone don't keep unwanted guests out of your network. Password-only authentication has led to security breaches, malware infections, and policy violations. With two-factor authentication, a password is used along with a security token and authentication server to provide far better security. Authorized employees can remotely access company resources safely using a variety of devices, ranging from lpatops to mobile phones.

Fortinet

The RSA SecurID Suite combines the separate disciplines of access management and authentication with identity governance and user lifecycle management into one comprehensive suite. It goes way beyond the capabilities of traditional identity and access management systems by using risk analytics to provide identity and access assurance. This helps organizations solve two fundamental challenges:

Verifying that their users are who they say they are.
Providing their users with the right level of access.
