Fortinet FortiToken Valuable Features

CO

I love the push-button authentication on FortiToken Mobile. It's also great that the soft token automatically reloads the OTP at intervals, so I always have a fresh code to enter. 

I also appreciate that you need to specify the token to gain access to the box, even from the command line. So I love it also because of the fact that people can no longer log in to my box without knowing who the users are. At least, anytime we log in to the admin, which has the tool enabled on my account. So it helps me to basically keep track of who and who are trying to access my box.

Fortinet FortiToken’s licenses are perpetual. We do not have to pay monthly for multi-factor authentications like Duo or Okta. We can buy them once we pay for the license, and it's good for however long Fortinet wants to allow it to be good for. We can really save a lot of money buying a perpetual license versus paying monthly for a service like that. The solution is pretty solid. I never had to contact the technical support team.

I like that the solution integrates with FortiAuthenticator well enough.

They're just the token. So, they perform like any other token. It's a very simple thing, and it just works like any other token. There's nothing that stands out. It's just another token.

The product provides secure access to our internal server. The encryption is done by FortiToken. That is the reason we access our servers through Fortinet. We use FortiToken to ensure that no unauthorized person can access our servers. It is like two-factor authentication. It makes us more secure. The mobile application makes our authentication experience better. It is easy to integrate the solution with other products. I rate the ease of integration a nine out of ten.

I believe FortiToken is the simplest to implement. However, there is no difference in terms of features other than multi-factor authentication. It's very basic.

Ease of administration, which is not always a feature, but the ease of administration, token importing, and exporting, is why FortiToken has been considered as a multi-factor authentication solution.

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.

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.

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.
