We performed a comparison between Fortinet FortiToken and Venafi based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."Its ease of use is most valuable. It is simple to use and can be deployed out-of-the-box. It is quite a mature product with all the required features."
"The initial setup is easy. You receive a QR code via email, scan it, and add it. No complicated procedures involved."
"The solution is pretty solid."
"The integrated Fortinet security with the app that allows you to easily do the two-factor authentication is most valuable."
"Fortinet FortiToken provides security and authenticates that the right external people are working with a company's system."
"Fortinet FortiToken is used for double factor authentication."
"The token-based authentication is good and modern aspect."
"I appreciate that it provides comprehensive security. It is tailored to this specific purpose, and it excels in fulfilling this purpose."
"The feature that I have found most valuable is their certificate discovery."
"Automating anything, whether on-prem or cloud, is possible."
"We use Venafi for PKI certificates."
"The problem is that our customers create budgets annually based on the figures at the beginning of the fiscal year. Our customers get annoyed when the price is adjusted in the middle of the year. I understand that it's a difficult time, and price increases make sense for hardware devices. However, FortiToken is a software product, so it shouldn't be affected by factors like chip shortages or supply chain issues. Software solutions should have more transparent and predictable pricing."
"You need your mobile just to enroll the tokens, and sometimes, it's difficult to use for someone who is not knowledgeable"
"Fortinet support has some room for improvement. It has taken a long time to resolve some issues or find a workaround."
"We can only use the tool with the FortiToken Mobile app."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"The tool could be a little cheaper."
"Currently lacks the capability to automatically download certificates in JKS."
"I would like to see included in the next release of Venafi integration with the cloud HSM's, Hardware Security Module. Additionally, I would say other cloud services, because it's not only cloud that's essential. If you have a customer that has a lot of their IT moved into cloud, integration with different cloud services is always an area to improve."
"Venafi's overall installation could be made easier."
