The setup process was simple.

The installation and deployment process is straightforward. The GUI setup involves simple next steps without much technical complexity.

The initial setup took two days, including integration. We ensured the virtual environment was ready, deployed the VM, integrated it with Active Directory, onboarded the endpoint devices, and provided FortiToken authentication for the 100 users via email.

It is easy. If you know the technology, it is easy to implement. If you don't, then it will be difficult.

• Deployment time: 

With testing and everything, it's a one-day job. Quite fast compared to other solutions.

You have to know where to click, what to install, and what to do. If you know the steps, it is easy. If you don't, then it will take maybe weeks or so.

• Integration Capabilities:

Once integrated with the firewall, it supports SSL VPN and the firewall itself. If integrated with the FortiAnalyzer, it supports Active Directory. The extent to which you deploy FortiAuthenticator depends on your specific needs.

The initial setup of FortiAuthenticator was straightforward. It was easier than setting up other similar products. I handled the installation myself but reached out to the technical support team when needed.

The initial setup of Fortinet FortiAuthenticator was straightforward, working effectively out of the box.

I have not been involved in the deployment or configuration process.

The initial setup was relatively straightforward, especially for basic SD-WAN functionalities. More complex configurations may require additional time and expertise.

The deployment was not complex, but it is not quite easy to deploy it on the desktop. It took three to four hours. We took half a day because we were new to the product and our employees were also involved in other tasks. The network team in our organization maintains the solution. There are six people in our network team.

The deployment is seamless. The product is cloud-based.

The product's initial setup phase was easy. It is also easy to deploy.

The solution is deployed on an on-premises model.

The time taken to deploy the solution depends on the familiarity of the user with the solution. If you are familiar with the product, deploying it takes about a minute.

The solution was straightforward to deploy.

Regarding setup, I would say that it is straightforward but not simple. It's not a job for the novice, but it is straightforward for an experienced engineer. Also, my clients normally ask for help.

The solution gets deployed on physical, virtual, and SaaS.

The initial setup is complicated. However, considering the complicated tasks it does, it is fine.

In general, you just spend about three days designing and implementing the solution.

The deployment is done in the customer's environment and as per what they require. So, configure the LDAP integration and SAML integration with the existing sources. Then I started to create the SAML services and RADIUS services for firewalls. I then copy to add the tokens before authenticating the users. Then, they can pull it down from the OTAP service.

It was complex when it came to the active directory portion of the product. Knowing what was required to have the active directory integration with the authenticator was a little tricky, and figuring out how the users' email addresses were going to be displayed. When you go to Office 365, it redirects it back to the authenticator and you have to make sure you have the right configuration and the right domain because it inputs it based on your domain name. It was difficult to get that figured out.

The initial setup is complex. It would be helpful if customers get assistance from professional services. They can customize it depending on the architecture visibility. It is easy to design if they hire a knowledgeable architect. It takes less than a week to complete.

We typically only need to perform installation updates or implement changes if infrastructure changes occur at the customer's end. This doesn't happen often, once or twice a year. When implemented correctly, it's not complicated to manage, so it isn't required. We have a team of five engineers responsible for deployment, maintenance, and all other operations related to the product.

The setup depends on the integration requirements. Integrating FortiAuthenticator with other Fortinet products is relatively straightforward.

In terms of implementation, it performs quite well.

The initial setup of Fortinet FortiAuthenticator is easy.

Fortinet FortiAuthenticator's deployment takes an hour if everything is up and running.

Three to four engineers are required for the deployment of the product.

We require two administration executives to manage the product.

It is deployed on-premises. One or two days for initial deployment is insufficient. It typically takes a few more days to set up the specific configurations. The standard device configuration is exceptionally fast.

The initial setup is very easy. It takes an hour to complete.

The cloud deployment felt limited, but there was valuable information on the Internet. A lot of testing needs to be done, and the deployment is easier for those who understand how to do it on the cloud. We needed support here and the support team could not figure out the issue. Eventually, one of the support team members helped, but there was still an information gap.

The initial setup is simple compared to other solutions. 

The implementation process is simple and straightforward. It's not overly complex. 

It was deployed in about four hours or so. It doesn't take too long. However, we had many issues when we upgraded the equipment. The keys were not integrated properly and therefore it wasn't completely simple to manage.

We had one engineer handling the deployment. 

The initial setup was straightforward. The only problem we faced was the POC. We configure only through self-configuration. If we had an integrator or consultant to configure Fortinet FortiAuthenticator it would be easier than doing a self-configuration.

I found the initial implementation process to be simple and straightforward. I didn't find it to be overly complex. There aren't too many features, unlike an FortiNAC solution, that need to be set up.

The initial setup was relatively easy. There were some issues we had with the LDAP integration, but it was solved quite quickly. We had some outside assistance for the deployment. 

The initial setup of Fortinet FortiAuthenticator was straightforward. The implementation process took three to four days with multiple sites.

I rate the initial setup of Fortinet FortiAuthenticator four out of five.

Setting up FortiAuthenticator is straightforward. It took about two weeks to deploy and configure. I rate FortiAuthenticator eight out of 10 for ease of setup. One person is enough to manage and maintain the solution. 

The initial setup was very complex. The was one cluster and one load balancer that had to be configured.

The initial setup process will vary from simple to complex and depends on your existing User Identity Systems, integrations, and scale of the network

Initial setup was pretty straightforward. We were up and running within three days. I carried out the deployment. 

My colleague did the setup, and I didn't feel that he struggled much. It seemed straightforward and not too difficult.

Fortinet FortiAuthenticator’s initial setup is simple.

The initial setup is simple. It's not that difficult. You have to know the functionality of FortiProtect, the requirements, and it depends on your network. It's not that difficult to implement.

We have VMs and devices. But mostly, we are moving to VMs.

The initial setup was straightforward. The solution functions 24/7 so the admin, operation and maintenance need to be in good shape round the clock so we generally have four engineers involved in maintenance. 

It wasn't difficult to set up. It took two days to deploy this solution and a week to roll out.

The initial setup is not straightforward. Our deployment took almost two months to complete.

Installation was very straightforward and took three days.

The initial setup is a valuable point on Fortinet products. Most of the time, putting the theory into practice on the devices is quite friendly and straightforward. As long as you can read through the menus, you can find your way around the solution and make it work. A 10 minute surf through the tabs will give you an idea of what you can do and how to do it. Documentations and guides are also available when needed.

This is a high value point on Fortinet - the way everything is laid out in the web UI is user-friendly and quite straightforward. 

The initial setup is fairly simple because there's product training available for all of the tools from Fortinet. Our team is fully versed in those products, so it wasn't very difficult.

The initial setup wasn't a problem at all. It was handled by certified Fortinet engineers. For that reason, it wasn't complex or difficult.

The initial setup was not complex at all. It is actually very easy. 

It was straightforward to implement and took one day to deploy.

Initial setup and configuration are very straightforward. From a technical perspective, you need to know where to do the PDS but if you have a technical background it should be very straightforward. I just bring the VM or the trial license and I start to do the POC, usually with the VM.

Initial setup and deployment sometimes need integration with FortiGate, and sometimes via the captive portal. It takes a maximum of an hour, but it also depends on the end-user and what they need to be integrated into the system, like features such as SMS gateway parameters. 

The initial setup was very easy.

The initial setup is so easy and there is no problem in the implementation. We can implement it easily in a different kind of infrastructure.

The initial setup is very easy.

The initial setup is straightforward. It's not that complex. If you know about the product, you will be able to do the setup. 

It takes generally, one to two weeks for the full-fledged deployment. We have a demo unit. We just used that for showcasing the capability of the device to all of our customers. 

Once they start using it, they would advise on the deployment.

All Fortinet solutions are easy to implement.

The setup process can be tedious.

We enjoyed an easy deployment. There are many documents with guides and best practices.

Configuration of the virtual device was very straightforward.

The configuration of the settings in the authenticator was a bit more confusing. We did have to contact support a few times to work through some configuration issues. They also helped us set up some configurations for the active directory and our local certificate servers.

The initial setup was somewhat difficult in syncing our LDAP service to our main FortiGate.

The initial setup is easy. Only the Fortinet Access Control is difficult. The network access control solution is a difficult topic as well. It's not that the product is difficult. It's the environment, connecting to the switches, the firewalls, the zones, and the difficult appliances. FortiAuthenticator is easy to use and install.

However, I know FortiAuthenticator, so the initial setup was easy when I saw this product. The initial setup for all of the Fortinet products is typically easy.

The deployment time depends on the difficulty of the destination environment. Our last installation took four days. After that, we created the system's documentation, which took one day.

The initial setup is straightforward. I deployed the product to test it.
