Fortinet FortiToken vs NetIQ Identity Manager comparison

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

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

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

"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 product provides secure access to our internal server."

"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."

"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 most valuable features are Password Reset Alerts, Password Sync, and SQL connectors."

"NetIQ does not have a limit on the number of users."

"The most valuable features of NetIQ Identity Manager are the synchronization of different directories, such as Active Directory. We have many Active Directory systems, not only one."

"The access request management has improved significantly in terms of its user interface. What sets it apart from competitors like SailPoint is that it's an event-based solution rather than schedule-based. That's a key differentiator."

"It's a very flexible tool, so you can synchronize multiple sources of data and you have multiple connections to various kinds of systems."

"The product is easy to use."

"The most valuable feature of this solution has been the ability for us to integrate a lot of external systems, and the automatic transfer of a lot of identity information. Additionally, the customization is very good."

"I like the eDirectory feature."

"Fortinet FortiToken could be lower for some markets."

"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."

"Support is a pain point in Bangladesh because there aren't many experienced Fortinet engineers in this country. It's easier to find one certified in Cisco, Palo Alto, or Juniper."

"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."

"Its reporting should be better. The reporting feature is missing. I don't have any reporting of who has done what, what has failed, and what didn't work."

"The solution could introduce a mobile application instead of a physical product."

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

"Configuration can be confusing due to the lack of community and context-sensitive help. We've had to rely on technical support, which slows down the setup process."

"If it could be operated in such a way that anybody could use it, with just the user interface, and there's no need for programming, then that would be a great improvement."

"The vendor must provide an easier console for configuring things for smaller customers."

"The solution architecture is somewhat complex. For some components, the necessary resilience is not inherent."

"Areas for improvement are further enhancing the access granting process to reduce time and improve accuracy."

"The interface is old and outdated, and the design software seems archaic."

"There's no huge thing missing, because it's already comprehensive. Now and then, however, there might be a minor issue."

"The integrations must be made easier."

"We have another system that is using the SAML system, and we also integrate with Active Directory only. If NetIQ Identity Manager can integrate directly, we would not need to use the Active Directory directory."

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

"Fortinet FortiToken is not an expensive solution."

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

"The solution’s price is good."

"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 pricing is moderate and reasonable."

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

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

"The solution is quite affordable."

"The price of the solution is a bit high and could be reduced."

"It would easily help them in getting more market and more customers if more consultants knew about their software. If they could keep it free for schools for teaching purposes, it would be good. I had to pay myself to get it and use it for training. Their competitors are giving it for free. I had to pay for it myself. They are losing market to their competitors."

"You just need to be aware that the more systems you connect, the more license fees you have to pay."

"Micro Focus is flexible when it comes to price. The cost varies from customer to customer. There are no additional costs, though. Everything is included."

"I would rate the pricing a two out of ten, with one being low price and ten being high price. It is significantly more cost-effective than the major players in the market."
