Fortinet FortiToken Valuable Features

Sachin Vinay - PeerSpot reviewer
Assistant Manager-Networks at Amrita

The main use case of FortiToken is that it is a hardware-based solution, providing secure two-factor authentication for administrators. Once the hardware is given to administrators, it facilitates OTP generation, enhancing security for firewalls and other software within FortiGate systems. 

Additionally, FortiToken is integrated with FortiClient solution for users working from home, providing an additional layer of security by sending OTPs for authentication.

The best features of Fortinet FortiToken, compared to other competitor OEMs, are better as they have their own product, and we have one extra layer of security.

Fortinet FortiToken has impacted my organization positively by providing enhanced security through an additional security layer.

The solution's most valuable feature is that it provides push notifications for any authentication and allows us to accept the connection from the mobile even without entering the OTP. Fortinet FortiToken has a lot of RADIUS functionality.

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.

The most valuable feature of the solution is its mobile application. It is particularly beneficial as it eliminates the need for hardware management. Users do not have to worry about managing or replacing physical tokens, which can be advantageous if the token is lost or damaged.

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.

It provides me with the token so that I can do the Multi-Factor Authentication. I'm not sure if there's anything more to say about that.

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.

The solution offers push notifications. When you try to connect to the VPN, FortiToken sends a push notification to our customer's device. The customer can then approve or deny the connection, making VPN security more straightforward and efficient.

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.
