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…

The solution is stable, scalable, and offers single sign-on

I give the solution a nine out of ten. I suggest if a person wants to start using Workspace ONE, they should make use of the cloud instance instead of the on-premise instance. There is an on-premise instance available, but the cloud instance is a better option now. I advise them to make use of the cloud instance. This is because management-wise, there is no need to manage a server. For example, we don't need to buy a server, and we don't need to buy network switches, which are required for the on-premise. At the same time, I can advise setting up all the functionalities or whatever functionalities are available for the trial version. We need to check if the Workspace ONE integration includes Azure AD or other identity providers. A lot of applications are using these providers for authentication, such as Ping, Okta, and others. If the Workspace ONE integration doesn't include these providers, the company might have to find a different solution. Security projects should also be considered. Specifically, if the solution can integrate with local security solutions to secure mobile devices.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

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

"The token-based authentication is good and modern aspect."

"The most valuable feature of the solution is its mobile application. It is particularly beneficial as it eliminates the need for hardware management."

"The initial setup is easy. You receive a QR code via email, scan it, and add it. No complicated procedures involved."

"Fortinet FortiToken has a lot of RADIUS functionality."

"The solution is pretty solid."

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

"The product provides secure access to our internal server."

More Fortinet FortiToken pros

"Zero Trust implementation is a great feature."

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

"If an end-user has an issue with a device, the administration has the ability to remote access the device after approval from the end-user."

"The solution has a lot of capabilities, and it is easy to manage and customize."

"Sometimes, we face an issue and raise a ticket. The technical support team is fantastic and resolves the issue."

"For me, the integration of AirWatch with various enterprise components is something I like. The way they are partnering with various services, like security services, or some of the big guys like Google, Android, Apple, and including Microsoft; that's really awesome. And the way they look at providing functionality to create self-service and automation, that's really usefully and beneficial. That's where I see they differentiate themselves."

"Good device management and good integration with third parties."

More Workspace ONE UEM pros

Cons

"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."

"Fortinet FortiToken should improve its push notifications."

"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."

"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."

"The problem is that our customers create budgets annually based on the figures at the beginning of the fiscal year. Our customers get annoyed when the price is adjusted in the middle of the year. I understand that it's a difficult time, and price increases make sense for hardware devices. However, FortiToken is a software product, so it shouldn't be affected by factors like chip shortages or supply chain issues. Software solutions should have more transparent and predictable pricing."

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

More Fortinet FortiToken cons

"Many of the features that exist in Active Directory do not exist in Identity Manager, which means that people depend on Active Directory."

"The initial setup is a bit complex."

"We'd like the customization to be better."

"Security aspects such as data loss prevention could be improved."

"The application itself individuals are getting annoyed with it. They are looking to integrate with ABB applications regardless of whether it is Android or iOS based. We are wanting to shift from this application because of the integration issues we are facing."

"The portal is not user-friendly."

"Feature-wise, it is fine, but its pricing could be better, given that Microsoft is on a bundling spree. AirWatch would benefit from reducing the license pricing per user per month."

"We'd like more useful support."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"The solution’s pricing is moderate and reasonable."

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

"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 price is good."

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

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

"It is included as part of our firewall license."

More Fortinet FortiToken pricing and cost advice

"VMware Workspace ONE is not cheap; it's quite expensive. However, in the end, they gave us a reasonable price."

"In some cases, a customer may feel the solution is expensive."

"Workspace ONE is on the higher end of the pricing band when compared to other players in the market."

"There is a licensing fee for the users, and we pay a low amount for our support costs."

"We pay approximately thirty to thirty-five euros per device per month for the complete suite, and this is a fixed cost with one, three, or five-year licensing in advance. I would rate the pricing a four out of ten, making it affordable."

"It's a highly affordable solution"

"The license is paid annually."

"It is quite expensive, but I think large companies have agreements with these organizations that provide remote monitoring for phones, and they get massive discounts. The public price does not reflect what they pay. You won't get the same pricing if you're buying for 10 employees versus 1,000 employees. On the public price, you get perhaps a 10% discount, but if you're buying 1,000, the discount could be really massive, especially if you signed a contract for a number of years."

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."
