Offers mobile token-based two-factor authentication (2FA) but management configuration is complex

We had internal authentication systems but not a product-based system from a security company. Most of our previous authentication systems were internal. This is the first one that integrates with network and server equipment, and it can even be implemented for SSL. It's the first security system software we've used. We chose Fortinet FortiToken because it integrates well with our existing Fortinet FortiGate firewall UTM appliance. Since the token is a VM, it doesn't require additional hardware, which would have been an unnecessary expense. In terms of manageability and integration, it seemed like a good fit alongside FortiGate and FortiMail, all from the same Fortinet ecosystem.

Easy to use, works well, and is worth the money

We used it for the backup and restore. If you have some sort of data that you've lost, you can restore from a previous snapshot It was an excellent product. It was very good for recovering lost files and folders for customers. It was easy to use. I don't really remember it very well. I used it…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."

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

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

"We like the mobile FortiToken."

"Its ease of use is most valuable. It is simple to use and can be deployed out-of-the-box. It is quite a mature product with all the required features."

"Fortinet offers a comprehensive solution for network security, particularly with its very effective zero-trust network access approach."

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

"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."

More Fortinet FortiToken pros

"The bigger vendors like VMware, Insight, and MobileIron can assign engineers to customers. You can work with them to develop the right competency to use the product."

"The most valuable feature of this solution is the tracking of the devices."

"Workspace ONE adds a lot of value compared to Microsoft because Microsoft is a late entry into the market, and they're still developing their product from an end-user perspective. Workspace ONE has a slight edge because of AirWatch. VMware has developed its product over a longer period of time, so they have better integrations as a whole solution."

"The most valuable feature is that it will use my credentials to access various parts of the infrastructure or other solutions, such as vRealize."

"No issues with scalability."

"The most valuable feature of VMware Workspace ONE is it provides the ability to find out the location of devices and manage end-point solutions when they are deployed, and keep them secure."

"The Identity component of this solution is its most valuable feature."

"The most valuable feature is policy-driven control of the devices."

More Workspace ONE UEM pros

Cons

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

"They could enhance synchronization with mobile applications, and addressing minor issues with authentication could further improve user experience."

"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."

"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."

"Fortinet FortiToken could be lower for some markets."

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

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

"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."

More Fortinet FortiToken cons

"The solution is too complicated. A lot of end customers don't know how to start when they go into the console."

"The pricing could always be better."

"The length of time it takes to deploy an application could improve."

"VMware Workspace ONE sometimes has bugs that prevent it from working as intended or expected. Generally, these bugs can lead to unexpected results and hinder effectiveness."

"It's not accurate enough when it comes to sending items to end-users."

"The Content Locker cannot inherit permissions for the Windows Public Folder. If they could integrate with Microsoft on this point, it would be the perfect functionality."

"One of the things that I want them to improve on, if possible, is the management of Mac devices, MacBook Pro, for example. They do it, but they have scope for improvement, in my opinion. It's not that it's that bad, it just a small need."

"In terms of the inventory management side, as in the invoice management, the stock management and the entire inventory of an organization is lagging a bit in comparison to Blackberry or other EMM solutions."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution’s price is good."

"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."

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

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

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

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

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

More Fortinet FortiToken pricing and cost advice

"I think that the price is reasonable."

"The solution runs at roughly around $36/user for a year."

"It's definitely a bit on the expensive side. It is more for smaller organizations and not large, massive enterprises. I am not sure about any additional costs. As far as we could tell, the billing was what the billing was."

"For the moment, we have a multi-year contract, meaning that we cannot go with a different solution at this time even if the price should prove more favorable."

"The solution can be costly when the customer is dealing with multiple platforms. If a customer is only dealing with iOS, Windows, and Android then Intune is the better choice because there are free licenses."

"Licensing fees are paid on a monthly basis."

"VMware Workspace ONE has a yearly license. You have to buy the license for one year at a time."

"Currently, the product is priced at around 50 USD."

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.

VMware Workspace ONE is an intelligence-driven digital workspace platform that delivers any app on any device. It integrates access control, multi-platform endpoint management, and application management. With the VMware Workspace ONE platform, IT teams can deliver a digital workspace that includes the devices and apps of the company’s choice, but with security and control.

VMware Workspace ONE is available:

As a cloud service
On-premises
Hybrid

Reviews from Real Users

Below is some feedback from our PeerSpot users who are currently using the solution:

PeerSpot user Patrick B., Cybersecurity Architect at a tech services company, says, "Its UI is extremely easy to use whether you're an advanced user or a novice user. When I first opened it up and had to learn the product, I was easily a novice. By the end of the third month, I was digging into the backend of the system and using it as a highly advanced user to accomplish what I needed to accomplish, and I was able to do it through the UI mostly."

Roshan T., Partner Manager North America at a tech company, mentions how satisfied he is with the product, saying, "You can put all your applications on a mobile device, be it a phone or tablet. It is secure and easy to use. Because it is centrally managed, you don't have to do any configuration on the phone. I just got the phone and connected to the central applications. I just downloaded one thing and everything got rolled out. Email, calendar, and other things were deployed centrally. If you don't have AirWatch, you have to configure your phone manually. For example, you need to deploy and configure your email manually and then synchronize everything. It is much simpler when a mobile device is centrally managed."
