Sachin Vinay - PeerSpot reviewer
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.

It's an inexpensive, scalable solution that has improved our security
We use Keeper to store passwords We previously kept our passwords in an Excel file. Using Keeper makes us more secure.  Keeper has strong security features.  The password rotation feature could be improved. I have used Keeper for three years. I rate Keeper eight out of 10 for stability.  I…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature of the solution is its mobile application. It is particularly beneficial as it eliminates the need for hardware management."
"Their resolution time is timely, and they provide solutions efficiently."
"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."
"The token-based authentication is good and modern aspect."
"The solution is unique in catering to Fortinet, making it very useful and secure."
"FortiToken is integrated with FortiClient solution for users working from home, providing an additional layer of security by sending OTPs for authentication."
"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."
"FortiToken is available in a soft or hard token factor, so there's some flexibility in that. Beyond that, I would say it is a stable solution that has worked for us."
"It is very easy to use, intuitive, and cost effective."
"Auto login across platforms allows for no copying and pasting."
"It has a double authentication factor increasing the security level."
"The ability to autofill the login credentials has saved me a lot of time in my day to day computing."
"Chrome extension and app."
"I like a couple of things about this solution. Being able to share passwords with other people is valuable. You can see if the information is out on the dark web and whether you have weak passwords and the last time they were changed. You could also have the 2FA or MFA codes embedded in the application so that you don't have to use your phone or any other 2FA device, which is something very important."
"We can access our sign-ins and passwords on up to five devices per user. This means I can access a given site and my login and password for that site from my home and office computers as well as my phone and iPad."
"The possibility of assigning information to different groups and individuals has been the most valuable."
 

Cons

"Fortinet FortiToken should improve its push notifications."
"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."
"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."
"Maybe the price could be improved, and the integration could be better. But the integration is different from the authenticator side."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Rearranging folders via drag/drop functionality would be very helpful."
"The technical support for this solution could be faster support and improved if they had a better understanding of my questions."
"Room for improvement in my eyes would be being able to share my credit cards and other types of information. The only thing they really share is passwords, and you can only do it with one password at a time. When you're trying to share it out or trying to remove it from being shared, you can't do multiple selections."
"Ability to set up password profiles that can predefine custom fields and password complexity."
"I would add a category for personal documents or photos of ID cards."
"If you purchase the premium, then after the subscription expires, you cannot edit your passwords any longer, even if you could before you purchased the paid subscription."
"Needs to provide an API to be integrated with the information systems and offer secure file hosting service with sharing and editing capabilities."
"They could possibly add a pre-designed contact feature that would work similar to a cell phone contact feature."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The platform's licensing cost is reasonable for our organization."
"I rate the tool's pricing a five out of ten."
"It is included as part of our firewall license."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is the cheapest, and ten is the highest, I rate the pricing an eight."
"Fortinet FortiToken is not an expensive solution."
"I would rate the pricing as an eight out of ten. We purchased the solution at a reasonable price in 2019."
"From an Indian perspective, it's definitely costlier."
"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's definitely worth it and affordable. Their sales team can definitely help scale your needs on licensing and provide pricing options."
"Pricing might be a little less, but with promo codes and family plan - best offer"
"Just buy the yearly subscription."
"ROI is hard to know, but it has to be several times the expense of the product."
"The more users, the better the price. Always opt for the live support."
"Free works unless the paid is absolutely necessary."
"The pricing is available on the vendor's website."
"We chose their optional annual subscription; I believe we paid monthly — I thought it was a good deal."
