Assistant Manager-Networks at Amrita

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

"The solution offers push notifications. When you try to connect to the VPN, FortiToken sends a push notification to our customer's device."

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

"The solution is pretty solid."

"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."

"The most valuable feature of the solution is its mobile application. It is particularly beneficial as it eliminates the need for hardware management."

"I appreciate that it provides comprehensive security. It is tailored to this specific purpose, and it excels in fulfilling this purpose."

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

"The tool's support is the best."

More Fortinet FortiToken pros

"A very easy to use solution."

"We've found the solution to be easy to use."

"Remote management is most valuable. It allows you to manage multiple types of devices. It is not just limited to laptops or desktops. You can also manage IoT devices. If a device is lost or stolen, you can easily take control of the device without letting any information get leaked."

"It's a tool that can be managed in various departments."

"Zero Trust implementation is a great feature."

"The initial setup is easy and the deployment doesn't take too long."

"I found the initial setup to be easy."

"Good device management and good integration with third parties."

More Workspace ONE UEM pros

Cons

"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."

"Fortinet FortiToken should improve its push notifications."

"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."

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

"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."

"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."

"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."

More Fortinet FortiToken cons

"They could provide DLP integration for applications and specific user account security."

"Integration with Microsoft needs improvement. There are some dependencies with Microsoft that aren't 100% yet, for example: compliance synchronization."

"The only downside to the solution is that the dashboard is very confusing."

"There is a need for better user lifecycle management within VMware Identity Manager, along with better user governance...The scalability of the product needs to improve."

"There could be ease of integration within the environment. I didn't have any issues when using it, but the integration part was a bit difficult for the other team."

"Sometimes, we have challenges with remote patching and remote version upgrades."

"I prefer to work with Jamf Pro because it is more specific to working with the iPad features."

"There are other solutions that might be better for certain use cases. This is not an all-purpose solution."

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 solution’s price is good."

"It is included as part of our firewall license."

"From an Indian perspective, it's definitely costlier."

"The solution’s pricing is moderate and reasonable."

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

"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."

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

More Fortinet FortiToken pricing and cost advice

"Its pricing was okay for our company."

"VMware Workspace ONE licensing price is good with their supportability. The price of VMware Workspace ONE is reasonable. We are using an enterprise license."

"VMware Workspace ONE has a yearly license. You have to buy the license for one year at a time."

"A person should pay towards the licensing costs of VMware Identity Manager on a yearly or monthly basis, but government and public sector units cannot for a perpetual licensing model."

"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."

"There is a licensing fee for the users, and we pay a low amount for our support costs."

"You should take out a dedicated license agreement of your MDM fleet and invest heavily in innovating in this space."

"I think the pricing of the product needs advisement. It would be great to bundle the VM products together. I think the actual box itself should be included in the license. At present, it is not paired with the mobile device."

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."
