A new way to perform multifactor authentication using specialized SaaS software
Avoids man in the middle or man in the browser exploits that other two factor products are susceptible to One month I got a few error messages which turned out to be themselves errors. I have been using SecurID tokens and wanted something that didn't require hardware authentication devices.…

Secure remote access has protected our intranet and supports straightforward integration
We use Fortinet and their products. I understand your points about Fortinet FortiToken. It is easy to integrate Fortinet FortiToken with solutions such as FortiGate, FortiAuthenticator, or FortiCloud. The integration is relatively straightforward and easy. Fortinet FortiToken is easier to use than Fortinet FortiToken as a separate piece of equipment or separate tool. The Fortinet FortiToken mobile application makes it easier to receive tokens on my smartphone. We tested the VPN option and another one combined with FortiClient, the antivirus, and web filtering, which are the most useful features in Fortinet FortiToken. Fortinet has another product that is more complete, but I think the price is not compatible for small businesses such as ours. I can recommend Fortinet FortiToken to other users, and I am totally satisfied with it. My company is a reseller of Fortinet, and my clients purchase the product directly from me rather than through the AWS Marketplace or other platforms. I mainly work within the Fortinet environment, and for this environment, Fortinet FortiToken would be the best choice. Overall, I would rate this product an eight.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Avoids man in the middle or man in the browser exploits that other two factor products are susceptible to."
"The solution offers push notifications. When you try to connect to the VPN, FortiToken sends a push notification to our customer's device."
"The token-based authentication is good and modern aspect."
"The integrated Fortinet security with the app that allows you to easily do the two-factor authentication is most valuable."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its mobile application. It is particularly beneficial as it eliminates the need for hardware management."
"I can recommend Fortinet FortiToken to other users, and I am totally satisfied with it."
"FortiToken is a cost-effective solution compared to other solutions, such as Cisco."
"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."
"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."
 

Cons

"I got a few error messages which turned out to be themselves errors."
"The solution could be more user-friendly."
"In my opinion, Fortinet FortiToken can be improved based on specific requirements. We will suggest solutions based on customer requirements and price availability."
"Fortinet FortiToken is not easy to change because after installing it on one person, it can be transferred to another, but we need support and cannot self-manage it."
"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."
"You need your mobile just to enroll the tokens, and sometimes, it's difficult to use for someone who is not knowledgeable"
"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."
"The tool could be a little cheaper."
"Fortinet FortiToken could be lower for some markets."
