The name of the authenticator is from the user's site. It's sufficient for that to provide you with a number when you need to access a protected resource, which is the site. This is two-factor authentication. You have two layers of authentication. The first layer is provided by the name and password, and the second layer is provided by the authenticator.
So you have to be attentive to that when the app prompts you, or at least the app prompts you, which advises you about the directive that someone is attempting to access this technology. And you can confirm by saying yes. It's directly linked to the internal access attempt to the site.
I appreciate that it provides comprehensive security. It is tailored to this specific purpose, and it excels in fulfilling this purpose.
On the Fortinet side, it is already well integrated with Android devices, simple devices, and PCs.
Maybe the price could be improved, and the integration could be better. But the integration is different from the authenticator side.
I have been using this solution for more than three years. We use the latest version as it updates automatically.
I would rate the stability a ten out of ten. I haven't encountered any issues with this solution's stability
It is very scalable. It can manage thousands of users. We plan to expand our customer base.
We have around 250 users. We all rely on it for our authentication needs. It's in active operation.
We used Fortinet FortiAuthenticator.
From the customer's perspective, the setup is flexible. You have the liberty to configure it according to your preferences. It took minutes to set up.
We can do it in-house. Simply load the installation and compute user, and then you can use it.
The technical personnel involved in deployment and maintenance are developers.
The ROI is quite high because the consistent part of it originates from any directive of credentials or end-user passwords. It's a solution that significantly improves the authentication phase. This makes it less likely that a malicious actor would be able to gain unauthorized access to the network and launch the attack.
FortiToken hardware itself does not require a license. However, the FortiAuthenticator software does require a license. The cost of the license depends on the number of users. We pay it on a yearly basis. But you can also find agreements with other options.
There are no additional costs. It is not too expensive.
Overall, I would rate the solution an eight out of ten. I would definitely recommend using the solution. There are not many functionalities. However, it is a great solution for multifactor authentication.
