Provides strong authentication feature, which requires users to enter a one-time password (OTP)
I use it for an extra layer of security, that is two-factor authentication (2FA) The most valuable feature is the strong authentication feature, which requires users to enter a one-time password (OTP) in addition to their username and password. This adds an extra layer of security and makes it…

Easy to learn, provides secure access to our internal server, and integrates easily with other products
We use the solution only with Fortinet products for VPN During COVID-19, we needed server access from different places. The solution provides FortiToken Mobile. It makes things easier because we can have access through our mobiles instead of other devices. Thus, the solution made our application…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"This solution is flexible and easy to use for our clients. We use it with different kinds of applications and integrate it with different processes."
"The integration matrix of the solution is huge compared to others."
"It is a scalable solution. You can add users and credentials without problems."
"Entrust is an enterprise account, and they have a support system. Their training is also top-notch, and they are willing to share their knowledge with their partners."
"I am impressed with Entrust because they are one of the most advanced identity access management companies. Their portfolio of products is well aligned with the CISA zero trust framework. If you compare the features of Entrust products with the CISA pillars of zero trust, you'll see that they're perfectly matched with CISA requirements."
"The integrated Fortinet security with the app that allows you to easily do the two-factor authentication is most valuable."
"We like the mobile FortiToken."
"The initial setup is easy. You receive a QR code via email, scan it, and add it. No complicated procedures involved."
"The product provides secure access to our internal server."
"I would rate the overall solution an eight out of ten. The solution is a smart product that anyone can easily access and manage. The solution is a good product for multi-factor authentication and to secure remote authentication in the corporate environment."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its mobile application. It is particularly beneficial as it eliminates the need for hardware management."
"The tool's support is the best."
"The solution is pretty solid."
 

Cons

"It functions well on-premises, but integrating it with cloud services like AWS or Azure could be challenging. There are issues with cloud integrations, such as Azure, AWS, and GCP."
"I would like to improve the tool's implementation and pricing."
"The product is very costly compared to other alternative solutions."
"We are introducing new processes and are migrating to a new version. Once we explore new functionalities, we'll be able to assess what could be improved."
"It needs a lot of coupling with their other Fortinet products. To implement FortiToken, I most probably need to couple it with FortiAuthenticator for full implementation. An RSA token can be used with many devices, whereas Fortinet FortiToken is always linked to only one FortiGate device. If I want to reuse the token across five or six FortiGates, I would have to get the FortiAuthenticator product. I can't use one token to connect to different FortiGates, and I need to get another product to enable this functionality. They should also improve the support for their mobile client. There should be a more detailed roadmap for the operating systems being supported. Some of our users were using an old iOS iPhone, and they were forced to get a newer phone because FortiToken didn't support that version of iOS. Similarly, there may be a version of Android that is not supported, so the users need to change the phone. This was one of the reasons why our deployment took longer."
"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."
"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 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."
"The tool could be a little cheaper."
"Fortinet FortiToken should improve its push notifications."
"The solution could be more user-friendly."
"It could be integrated better if you could have your FortiToken, and the license would allow you to work across multiple FortiGate solutions."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's worth the money."
"I would rate the product's pricing a five out of ten."
"The subscription could be yearly or monthly, depending upon your choice."
"I would rate the pricing as an eight out of ten. We purchased the solution at a reasonable price in 2019."
"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."
"It is included as part of our firewall license."
"Fortinet FortiToken is not an expensive solution."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is the cheapest, and ten is the highest, I rate the pricing an eight."
"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."
"Although the platform is relatively expensive, it offers significant value. I rate the pricing a nine out of ten."
"The solution’s pricing is moderate and reasonable."
