Assistant Manager-Networks at Amrita

Facilitates secure 2FA for admins, facilitates OTP generation, and enhances security

One suggestion is to develop a more user-friendly solution that is cost-effective so that a hardware-based solution can be provided to all users using VPN services or any configuration service requiring confidentiality. This would allow for broader distribution among a larger number of system admins and software engineers, which is currently not feasible with the existing hardware-only approach.

Utilizing key management and seamless single sign-on integration for enhanced user profile management

WSO2 Identity Server's key management feature stands out as a particularly impactful feature for enhancing security. Additionally, from a user perspective, the self-user portal and user profile management capabilities are highly valuable. It allows users to manage their profiles, change passwords, and offers a self-care portal type of functionality. The single sign-on capability integrates seamlessly with various platforms, including Google, Facebook, LDAP, and Active Directory, which supports rapid product launches.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

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

"The deployment is quick and simple."

"The integrated Fortinet security with the app that allows you to easily do the two-factor authentication is most valuable."

"Its ease of installation is most valuable. It took me five minutes, and it was up and running. It didn't take me that long. The installation on the cell phones is pretty simple."

"The most valuable feature of the solution is its mobile application. It is particularly beneficial as it eliminates the need for hardware management."

"We like the mobile FortiToken."

"I appreciate that it provides comprehensive security. It is tailored to this specific purpose, and it excels in fulfilling this purpose."

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

More Fortinet FortiToken pros

"I am completely satisfied with WSO2 Identity Server and would definitely recommend it to other companies."

"I would rate the solution's stability eight or nine out of ten."

"Some of the valuable features of the solution are the easy integration with processes, such as Single Sign-On. Overall WSO2 is straightforward and does not need customization."

"The product's initial setup phase is easy."

"It's very easy to implement everything."

"We use the solution for customer identity management, authenticating customers coming in through a web portal."

"The single sign-on procedure itself, as well as the ability to connect to external user sources such as Microsoft Active Directory and LDAP servers, are the solution's most valuable features."

"The keystore feature has been most valuable for us."

Cons

"The tool could be a little cheaper."

"I would like to see the product improvements in dynamic VLAN pooling. Specifically, when users are assigned different VLANs based on their SSID, ensuring no unintended lateral traffic between users would enhance security and efficiency."

"I'm not sure if it's already available, however, I wonder if there's an option to have it sent to my email address instead of having it on the mobile app."

"In my opinion, Fortinet FortiToken can be improved based on specific requirements. We will suggest solutions based on customer requirements and price availability."

"I would like to see if FortiToken can integrate with Office 365 mail to support the same two-factor authentication experience that I have with ESET. With ESET, when a user logs in, they are easily directed to the ESET authentication page, where they are prompted to enter their OTP after supplying their username and password. I understand from support that FortiToken cannot do this with email integration. That's why I opted for ESET."

"Maybe the price could be improved, and the integration could be better. But the integration is different from the authenticator side."

"Fortinet FortiToken should improve its push notifications."

"They need to develop a more user-friendly solution that is cost-effective so that a hardware-based solution can be provided to all users using VPN services or any configuration service requiring confidentiality."

More Fortinet FortiToken cons

"The solution could improve its development from a user perspective."

"The solution seems to be pretty outdated."

"The high availability architecture has to be improved."

"Sometimes working with the code is difficult because I search for documentation about the code and how to work with the code, which is where I believe they should improve, by providing some documentation on how to work with the code."

"This solution does not have BPM workflows already integrated, we had to integrate the BPM module externally. They do not provide full-featured auditing and certification modules out of the box."

"The solution's licensing model could be more flexible, and pricing could be improved."

"This solution requires extensive knowledge to be used effectively as certain areas of its use are not user friendly."

"There needs to be a good support model and easy-to-understand documentation."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The platform's licensing cost is reasonable for our organization."

"From an Indian perspective, it's definitely costlier."

"It is included as part of our firewall license."

"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."

"Fortinet FortiToken is not an expensive solution."

"Although the platform is relatively expensive, it offers significant value. I rate the pricing a nine out of ten."

"On a scale of one to ten, where one is the cheapest, and ten is the highest, I rate the pricing an eight."

"The solution’s price is good."

More Fortinet FortiToken pricing and cost advice

"WSO2 Identity Server is not an expensive solution."

"We have to take their support, but that is a minimal charge if I'm comparing it to other identity managers."

"I rate the product price an eight out of ten. There is a need to pay more for the extra features provided by the solution."

"They should bring in some good pricing models to host the marketplace."

"At this time we are working with the open-source version."

"I have found the solutions license is priced competitively compared to others."

Overview

As we've seen, passwords alone don't keep unwanted guests out of your network. Password-only authentication has led to security breaches, malware infections, and policy violations. With two-factor authentication, a password is used along with a security token and authentication server to provide far better security. Authorized employees can remotely access company resources safely using a variety of devices, ranging from lpatops to mobile phones.

Fortinet

WSO2 Identity Server can be used to simplify identity and access management (IAM) related activities in the enterprise. The product is based on open standards and open source principles. WSO2 Identity Server comes with seamless, easy to use integration capabilities that help connect applications, user stores, directories and identity management systems.
