Facilitates secure 2FA for admins, facilitates OTP generation, and enhances security

One suggestion is to develop a more user-friendly solution that is cost-effective so that a hardware-based solution can be provided to all users using VPN services or any configuration service requiring confidentiality. This would allow for broader distribution among a larger number of system admins and software engineers, which is currently not feasible with the existing hardware-only approach.

The solution is stable, scalable, and offers single sign-on

I give the solution a nine out of ten. I suggest if a person wants to start using Workspace ONE, they should make use of the cloud instance instead of the on-premise instance. There is an on-premise instance available, but the cloud instance is a better option now. I advise them to make use of the cloud instance. This is because management-wise, there is no need to manage a server. For example, we don't need to buy a server, and we don't need to buy network switches, which are required for the on-premise. At the same time, I can advise setting up all the functionalities or whatever functionalities are available for the trial version. We need to check if the Workspace ONE integration includes Azure AD or other identity providers. A lot of applications are using these providers for authentication, such as Ping, Okta, and others. If the Workspace ONE integration doesn't include these providers, the company might have to find a different solution. Security projects should also be considered. Specifically, if the solution can integrate with local security solutions to secure mobile devices.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Fortinet FortiToken provides security and authenticates that the right external people are working with a company's system."

"Overall, I give the product a nine out of ten."

"One of the product's most valuable features is its ease of use."

"We like the mobile FortiToken."

"Fortinet FortiToken is used for double factor authentication."

"The solution is unique in catering to Fortinet, making it very useful and secure."

"Fortinet offers a comprehensive solution for network security, particularly with its very effective zero-trust network access approach."

"The initial setup is easy. You receive a QR code via email, scan it, and add it. No complicated procedures involved."

More Fortinet FortiToken pros

"The solution has a lot of capabilities, and it is easy to manage and customize."

"The solution was easy to deploy."

"It is easy to start something and work from scratch."

"The solution can scale."

"For me, the integration of AirWatch with various enterprise components is something I like. The way they are partnering with various services, like security services, or some of the big guys like Google, Android, Apple, and including Microsoft; that's really awesome. And the way they look at providing functionality to create self-service and automation, that's really usefully and beneficial. That's where I see they differentiate themselves."

"We used to have a system before, Mac OS Open Directory server and this open directory became obsolete because Apple decided to stop the enterprise market, so there was no other alternative for us to use. We chose this to replace the open directory and we found that it has many more features than the previous solution. We totally rely on it right now to manage all the devices on campus."

"The solution is good for providing dedicated resources for dedicated users."

"Sometimes, we face an issue and raise a ticket. The technical support team is fantastic and resolves the issue."

More Workspace ONE UEM pros

Cons

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

"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."

"The solution could be more user-friendly."

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

"They need to develop a more user-friendly solution that is cost-effective so that a hardware-based solution can be provided to all users using VPN services or any configuration service requiring confidentiality."

"Fortinet FortiToken could be lower for some markets."

"FortiToken should provide enhanced SMS services for those users who do not have smartphones."

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

More Fortinet FortiToken cons

"It's a costly product. It would help if they could offer it at a discount."

"They need a more flexible pricing model."

"There should be better compatibility with Linux devices."

"The mobile SSO doesn't work as well on Android."

"The setup was very difficult. It was not as easy as I had expected."

"I would like to see improvements made to both the support, and the pricing."

"When we had some issues, the support did not respond quickly, and they did not provide a solution."

"One thing VMware needs to improve is compatibility with different operating systems."

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"The solution’s price is good."

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

"I rate the tool's pricing a five 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."

"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."

"Fortinet FortiToken is not an expensive solution."

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

More Fortinet FortiToken pricing and cost advice

"The solution can be costly when the customer is dealing with multiple platforms. If a customer is only dealing with iOS, Windows, and Android then Intune is the better choice because there are free licenses."

"I rate the product price a five on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive."

"In terms of pricing, this solution is definitely much more expensive compared to other solutions, like MobileIron or MaaS360 or any other product in the market. This solution is more expensive by 30 or 40 percent."

"We are paying about $145,000 a year on a three-year subscription with no ability to scale up or scale down within that class model."

"It's definitely a bit on the expensive side. It is more for smaller organizations and not large, massive enterprises. I am not sure about any additional costs. As far as we could tell, the billing was what the billing was."

"I think that the price is reasonable."

"All licenses from VMware are only yearly. They start with a yearly license and look for a three-year commitment and yearly PO."

"In some cases, a customer may feel the solution is expensive."

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.

Reviews from Real Users

Below is some feedback from our PeerSpot users who are currently using the solution:

PeerSpot user Patrick B., Cybersecurity Architect at a tech services company, says, "Its UI is extremely easy to use whether you're an advanced user or a novice user. When I first opened it up and had to learn the product, I was easily a novice. By the end of the third month, I was digging into the backend of the system and using it as a highly advanced user to accomplish what I needed to accomplish, and I was able to do it through the UI mostly."

Roshan T., Partner Manager North America at a tech company, mentions how satisfied he is with the product, saying, "You can put all your applications on a mobile device, be it a phone or tablet. It is secure and easy to use. Because it is centrally managed, you don't have to do any configuration on the phone. I just got the phone and connected to the central applications. I just downloaded one thing and everything got rolled out. Email, calendar, and other things were deployed centrally. If you don't have AirWatch, you have to configure your phone manually. For example, you need to deploy and configure your email manually and then synchronize everything. It is much simpler when a mobile device is centrally managed."
