Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Cisco, Fortinet and others in Authentication Systems."Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"I love the push-button authentication on FortiToken Mobile. It's also great that the soft token automatically reloads the OTP at intervals, so I always have a fresh code to enter."
"The solution is pretty solid."
"Fortinet FortiToken provides security and authenticates that the right external people are working with a company's system."
"The integrated Fortinet security with the app that allows you to easily do the two-factor authentication is most valuable."
"The token-based authentication is good and modern aspect."
"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."
"I would rate the overall solution an eight out of ten. The solution is a smart product that anyone can easily access and manage. The solution is a good product for multi-factor authentication and to secure remote authentication in the corporate environment."
"The product is relatively easier to use than other identity management products."
"It has improved our user management. It is definitely streamlined."
"It has good endpoint support and endpoint connectivity to different versioning endpoints."
"I've used it to manage users, create and update, delete users, change passwords, and assign and change rules."
"Automated provisioning removes manual labor and manual provisioning."
"It is easy to use, and does not requires an extensive programming or development background."
"Connector Xpress and Policy Xpress and the new interface."
"Word mining and risk campaigns are the most valuable features of this solution."
"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."
"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."
"Support is a pain point in Bangladesh because there aren't many experienced Fortinet engineers in this country. It's easier to find one certified in Cisco, Palo Alto, or Juniper."
"The app could be improved so that you don't have to actually type in the code. It would be great if you can just do a prompt or push similar to the way Duo does."
"Its reporting should be better. The reporting feature is missing. I don't have any reporting of who has done what, what has failed, and what didn't work."
"We can only use the tool with the FortiToken Mobile app."
"I would rate the scalability a seven out of ten. The migration issue definitely brings it down a bit."
"They provide a framework to develop your own connectors. A connector is a piece of software that integrates with the solutions that are not a part of the support matrix. Currently, it is difficult to create these connectors in this solution. Other solutions, such as NetIQ Identity, provide a better way to create your own connector. Currently, there is no cloud version. It should have a cloud version."
"The Identity tool needs to do more kinds of reporting for audit purposes. It doesn't really track any of the metrics that are useful to us, at this point."
"There are times that it takes too long to generate reports and to run the assessment tools to collect the information."
"The product has a lot of need for improvement. Our issues are being raised back to the vendor as enhancements."
"The product's technical support could be better."
"They should easier and better integration with other software."
"The product works slowly while accessing cloud-native solutions."
"Identity Manager has a lack of entitlement support, unlike other products that I have worked with."
