A reasonably priced solution with a straightforward setup offering stability and scalability to its users

I have used the solution for VPN access 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…

Provides easy integration with other tools

The solution gets the job done, and we don't have to do the main configuration The solution seems to be pretty outdated. The solution’s pricing could be better. I have been using WSO2 Identity Server for two to three years. I rate the solution an eight out of ten for stability. Around 30 to 40…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

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

"The initial setup is easy. You receive a QR code via email, scan it, and add it. No complicated procedures involved."

"I believe FortiToken is the simplest to implement."

"We like the mobile FortiToken."

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

"Fortinet FortiToken provides security and authenticates that the right external people are working with a company's system."

"One of the product's most valuable features is its ease of use."

More Fortinet FortiToken pros

"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 solution gets the job done, and we don't have to do the main configuration."

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

"Comprehensive ecosystem."

"The product provides easy integration between API manager and IT server components."

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

"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."

"It's very easy to implement everything."

Cons

"You need your mobile just to enroll the tokens, and sometimes, it's difficult to use for someone who is not knowledgeable"

"I would like to see complete OAuth support. Also, if they can support it from a SaaS (Software as a Service) or cloud platform, that would be great."

"It could be integrated better if you could have your FortiToken, and the license would allow you to work across multiple FortiGate solutions."

"Fortinet FortiToken could be lower for some markets."

"The app could be improved so that you don't have to actually type in the code. It would be great if you can just do a prompt or push similar to the way Duo does."

"The solution comes with two firewalls as a bundle. In that bundle, most of the individual users can be assigned to mobile users. However, in cases of technical difficulties, users may accidentally remove the mobile application. In normal scenarios, we get back to the activation key and assign it again."

"I would rate the scalability a seven out of ten. The migration issue definitely brings it down a bit."

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

More Fortinet FortiToken cons

"The solution seems to be pretty outdated."

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

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

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

"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."

"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."

"I found the initial setup to be very complex."

"The high availability architecture has to be improved."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I would rate the pricing as an eight out of ten. We purchased the solution at a reasonable price in 2019."

"The pricing is not very high, so I'd rate it around six out of ten, where one is high and ten is low."

"The solution’s price is good."

"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."

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

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

"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."

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

More Fortinet FortiToken pricing and cost advice

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

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

"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."

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

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.

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.
