We performed a comparison between Fortinet FortiAuthenticator and LastPass based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Single Sign-On (SSO) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The product is stable and reliable."
"The solution is easy to learn and makes it easy for our users to add FortiToken. It's very easy to integrate if you have other Fortinet devices."
"The initial setup of Fortinet FortiAuthenticator is easy."
"Intuitive interface and easy to deploy."
"The feature I value the most is the one-time passwords because it helps to authenticate users so you know the timing of their usage."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is RADIUS service and the social network integration feature."
"The solution is very easy to manage."
"I appreciate its ability to provide multi-factor authentication, but it's primarily focused on this function."
"Tech support has been good. We haven't needed it much, because it is not a complex application. There is not that much you have to do with it."
"The most valuable feature for me is being able to pair applications and user permissions."
"It's improved security; we don't have to worry about people storing password loosely and secure them."
"The shared folders is an important feature. It's the primary feature we use. Also, the ability for LastPass to autofill and hide the passwords, so we don't have to keep changing passwords every time a person leaves, is valuable."
"This product helps keep us secure."
"The stability has been rock solid. A couple of years ago, they were breached. However, if you had two-factor authentication enabled, it didn't affect you. We did, so it has been good."
"The initial setup for this process is straightforward and extremely easy. It just works."
"Until now, I haven't found anything like the dashboard. It gives you a security score. I find that to be really great. The Sharing Center is really great as well. And the Security Challenge is really great too."
"We had issues trying to integrate the keys properly during the initial setup."
"It would be helpful to receive a code by yourself for authentication instead of it registered to a phone."
"The GUI is on the older side but I'm sure that it will be upgraded soon. It works, but it looks a little dated."
"If you want some other FortiAuthenticator from one site to another site, you should have requirements, but really if you have authentication and directory or another solution, you should change the password of the authenticator between the solution and the directory and other things. So transfer of data and other information should be simpler."
"The integration with other products, for example, some SAML authentications, would make it more flexible."
"Other features that would improve the product are a single sign-on where people can use their Gmail ID to log-in, etc."
"There is a room for improvement. The log is a bit difficult to access, and searching the log codes is also a bit difficult. So it would be much better if, when we open a log, it could provide detailed information about errors, reasons for failure, and such."
"I would like to see integration and customization capabilities with the end-user portal to solve authentication issues with diverse implementation scenarios."
"We have issues from time to time where, for some reason, it just keeps auto logging-out the user and then, the next day, they'll come in and it will work just fine."
"The biggest thing is there is no good way to have LastPass rotate passwords without human intervention. Right now, we have to go into each folder, then rotate and manually update each password. It can be done it by loading a bunch of passwords into a spreadsheet, but this makes the whole process insecure because then the passwords have been noted into a spreadsheet which have to be upload. We have to go into 40 to 50 applications and manually update passwords, because we don't view their solution of writing a bunch of passwords on a spreadsheet, then uploading them as a secure solution. This should be done internally within LastPass."
"Its user interface should be better, and there should probably be more information about scalability."
"It is not super feature laden. It does not stand out versus the competition."
"The ability to set up an account expiration limit/date would be very useful."
"Our biggest issue over the years was around the stability of the LDAP sync to AD."
"One thing I wish LastPass had is an integration with Active Directory, not for synchronizing users but to actually manage, in some way, privileged accounts by replacing the password of LastPass itself."
"Right now we have two products; there is the password manager and there is the authenticator app. Ideally, these should be fully integrated and support better handling of two-factor authentication or any other authenticator data."
