Fortinet FortiToken Reviews

We use the product for multifactor authentication. 

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. 

Fortinet FortiToken should improve its push notifications. 

I have been using the product for three years. 

I rate the tool's stability a ten out of ten. 

I rate the tool's scalability a ten out of ten. My company has 50 users.

Positive

When I compare Fortinet FortiToken to similar products like Google Authenticator, I see differences, especially with Microsoft Authenticator, which also uses push notifications. Google Authenticator is free. 

Fortinet FortiToken's deployment is simple. 

I did the deployment myself. 

I rate the tool's pricing a five out of ten. 

I rate the overall solution a ten out of ten. 

FortiToken is a second-factor authentication solution mapped to the on-prem firewall. Any user who connects to the firewall for VPN uses the token for authentication. Our client is the end-user, and we manage it for them. We acquired FortiToken five years ago and additional tokens every year since then. The token is just a piece of hardware, so there's nothing to be refreshed over there.

FortiToken helps us meet compliance requirements where applications or any authentication needs to use two factors. In addition to a password, there has to be a second factor for authentication. 

FortiToken is available in a soft or hard token factor, so there's some flexibility in that. Beyond that, I would say it is a stable solution that has worked for us.

Usually, there are operational issues for tokens, but problems have been minimal. 

We have been using FortiToken for at least five years.

FortiToken is a stable problem. We haven't had any issues.

If you are able to predict your scale, you can buy a box that will scale up to your projected requirement. Of course, it is not endless. If you're growing beyond what you had forecasted, you'll need to buy a bigger box or change solutions. Right now, we have at least 6,000 users.

Fortinet support has some room for improvement. It has taken a long time to resolve some issues or find a workaround.

We didn't see any major issues setting up FortiToken. It doesn't take more than two or three weeks. A lot of that was logistics because the initial deployment was done with 5,000 tokens distributed across a wide geographical range. We don't have a dedicated team for FortiToken. The team handling all the firewalls also manages this solution.

There was a Fortinet partner which was involved in setting it up.

FortiToken's price is optimal for us, but India is a price-sensitive market, so a lower price would definitely help. 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.

I rate Fortinet FortiToken seven out of 10. I recommend it depending on the use case. It's a good option if you need a stable product that can. It meets all the requirements for scalability, security, and reliability.

We use Fortinet FortiToken to do a double authentication for people who work out of the company.

The most valuable feature of Fortinet FortiToken is security. Some companies have people belonging to other companies working with their core software or main applications. Fortinet FortiToken provides security and authenticates that the right external people are working with a company's system. Since Fortinet FortiToken provides a second authentication mode, it's vital for cybersecurity.

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

The solution’s initial setup is very easy.

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 has been very reliable for our daily authentication needs. Fortinet FortiToken is a very good product that improves a company's security. I think that every company that has people managing critical information should use the solution.

Overall, I rate Fortinet FortiToken ten out of ten.

I'm a solution provider who sells FortiToken and helps customers implement it. Most of my clients use Fortinet solutions like FortiClient VPN and FortiGate firewalls for remote work. They also use FortiToken for authentication. 

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 have sold FortiToken for three years.

I rate FortiToken seven out of 10 for stability.

I rate FortiToken eight out of 10 for scalability. It's suitable for mid-sized customers, not large enterprises. 

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. 

Palo Alto is good compared to Fortinet. I like the dashboard better. 

The deployment process is straightforward. I've never had any issues. 

I rate FortiToken seven out of 10 for pricing. 

I rate FortiToken six out of 10. I recommend it for small and medium-sized companies. 

Fortinet FortiToken could be lower for some markets. 

I have been using the product for two and a half years. 

I rate Fortinet FortiToken's stability a nine out of ten.
