Provides strong authentication feature, which requires users to enter a one-time password (OTP)
The main issue I've noticed pertains to setting up the desktop client on virtual machines in Azure, GCP, or AWS, specifically for Entrust Identity Enterprise intended for on-premises use. It works for on-premises, but I'm not sure if it's fully supported in cloud environments. If support were added, it would function perfectly with on-premises configurations. So, it functions well on-premises, but integrating it with cloud services like AWS or Azure could be challenging. There are issues with cloud integrations, such as Azure, AWS, and GCP.

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.
