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…

Supports API integrations with different systems

My company uses multi-factor authentication and we tried using it integrating with FIDO Server. It was done to make sure that the multi-factor authentication feature gets used during the authentication process. AI can be used for better authentication, but right now, our company has not used any such feature. I recommend the product to others. It is easy to install and easy to use. Understanding a feature before you integrate a tool with other tools is important. In my company, there is another team with five to six engineers that takes care of the support part of the tool. The product has helped me to meet my security management requirements as per ISO 7001. I rate the tool a nine out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

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

"The solution is pretty solid."

"The tool's support is the best."

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

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

"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 has a lot of RADIUS functionality."

"The solution is simple and similar to Google Authenticator. It follows time-based authentication. We use it for hardware and software in one environment. The tool offers simple and fast authentication for SSL."

More Fortinet FortiToken pros

"I would rate the solution's stability eight or nine out of ten."

"The product provides easy integration between API manager and IT server components."

"The single sign-on procedure itself, as well as the ability to connect to external user sources such as Microsoft Active Directory and LDAP servers, are the solution's most valuable features."

"Comprehensive ecosystem."

"We use the solution for customer identity management, authenticating customers coming in through a web portal."

"It's very easy to implement everything."

"Some of the valuable features of the solution are the easy integration with processes, such as Single Sign-On. Overall WSO2 is straightforward and does not need customization."

"The solution gets the job done, and we don't have to do the main configuration."

Cons

"The tool could be a little cheaper."

"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."

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

"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."

"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 works well. We have nothing to complain about."

"We can only use the tool with the FortiToken Mobile app."

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

More Fortinet FortiToken cons

"Sometimes working with the code is difficult because I search for documentation about the code and how to work with the code, which is where I believe they should improve, by providing some documentation on how to work with the code."

"I found the initial setup to be very complex."

"The solution's licensing model could be more flexible, and pricing could be improved."

"The high availability architecture has to be improved."

"The price of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."

"This solution requires extensive knowledge to be used effectively as certain areas of its use are not user friendly."

"The solution seems to be pretty outdated."

"There needs to be a good support model and easy-to-understand documentation."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Fortinet FortiToken is not an expensive solution."

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

"The solution’s price is good."

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

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

"On a scale of one to ten, where one is the cheapest, and ten is the highest, I rate the pricing an eight."

"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."

"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing a six out of ten."

More Fortinet FortiToken pricing and cost advice

"They should bring in some good pricing models to host the marketplace."

"WSO2 Identity Server is not an expensive solution."

"I have found the solutions license is priced competitively compared to others."

"We have to take their support, but that is a minimal charge if I'm comparing it to other identity managers."

"At this time we are working with the open-source version."

"I rate the product price an eight out of ten. There is a need to pay more for the extra features provided by the solution."

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.

WSO2 Identity Server can be used to simplify identity and access management (IAM) related activities in the enterprise. The product is based on open standards and open source principles. WSO2 Identity Server comes with seamless, easy to use integration capabilities that help connect applications, user stores, directories and identity management systems.
