Has strengthened user authentication and remains reliable despite recent license transfer limitations

I love to work with Fortinet FortiToken because it's easy to configure with any user and with FortiAuthenticator. We uploaded it and use it for any authentication with any user, with integration with any device. With FortiAuthenticator, we integrated it with any server, such as Active Directory, and use the token for VPN and other purposes. In the future, we ask customers to use it with FortiAuthenticator, not just the token, as it provides better integration capabilities. When we buy a specific Fortinet FortiToken, we use it on FortiGate only. Fortinet FortiToken provides very important security benefits because it is used to manage FortiGate from outside, exclusively with Fortinet FortiToken. Without Fortinet FortiToken, administrators cannot use or add admin privileges or manage it from outside, as this could lead to attacks or malicious activity.

Enhanced security, reliable, helpful technical support, and easy to install

RSA SecurID Access is a scalable solution. I would rate the scalability of RSA SecurID Access a nine out of ten. Initially, our organization had around 250 users for whom we were aware of the usage of the solution. However, there were certain users for whom we were not notified due to the nature of their job, and hence we were not aware of their usage. Eventually, we decided to scale the solution for all our 4,000 users. Currently, we are using it for 250 users only. There is a high likelihood that we will expand our usage in the future.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I believe FortiToken is the simplest to implement."

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

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

"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."

"Overall, I rate the FortiToken solution as nine out of ten. I would definitely recommend it due to its effectiveness in enhancing security."

"The deployment is quick and simple."

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

"I can recommend Fortinet FortiToken to other users, and I am totally satisfied with it."

More Fortinet FortiToken pros

"It is a scalable solution."

"I think it is really good when it comes to the hard token side of things."

"The most valuable features of RSA SecurID Access are push notifications, multifactor authentication, and ease of integration and deployment."

"In house applications access via weblink can be locked down to specific groups or criteria."

"Encryption random key generation and making it available for the user on the fly without any knowledge of the user regarding the keys."

"One of the most valuable feature is the ID soft token and hard token."

"I would say that the two-factor authentication and the ease of installation and configuration are the most valuable features of this solution."

"With the SSO RSA technology, we simplify the login and authorization process for dozens of web sites with high load traffic."

More RSA SecurID pros

Cons

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"Configuration can be confusing due to the lack of community and context-sensitive help. We've had to rely on technical support, which slows down the setup process."

"I would like to see if FortiToken can integrate with Office 365 mail to support the same two-factor authentication experience that I have with ESET. With ESET, when a user logs in, they are easily directed to the ESET authentication page, where they are prompted to enter their OTP after supplying their username and password. I understand from support that FortiToken cannot do this with email integration. That's why I opted for ESET."

"You need your mobile just to enroll the tokens, and sometimes, it's difficult to use for someone who is not knowledgeable"

More Fortinet FortiToken cons

"Sometimes, we encounter issues with other applications that are not compatible with RSA SecurID Access and require expert troubleshooting. At those times, we need additional support from an implementation perspective. This is an area where Oracle can improve as there is no substitute for reliable and efficient support."

"I would really rate the technical support as 4 (in a scale of 1-10). My interaction with the technical support was never good."

"There are different compliances across the globe; RSA SecurID Access could be more complaint-based."

"We are currently migrating to CA Site Minder due to RSA not having a viable SSO solution at this time."

"It doesn't offer an agent-based or reverse-proxy-based approach to integration, which could enhance its flexibility."

"The interface needs to improve a lot. It should be easier to manage and navigate."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

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

"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."

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

"The solution’s price is good."

"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 pricing is moderate and reasonable."

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

More Fortinet FortiToken pricing and cost advice

"I think the price of this solution is reasonable compared to YubiKey and Duo given that it offers the same similar features."

"RSA SecurID Access is expensive."

RSA SecurID Access, RSA Access Manager

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.

Fortinet

The RSA SecurID Suite combines the separate disciplines of access management and authentication with identity governance and user lifecycle management into one comprehensive suite. It goes way beyond the capabilities of traditional identity and access management systems by using risk analytics to provide identity and access assurance. This helps organizations solve two fundamental challenges:

Verifying that their users are who they say they are.
Providing their users with the right level of access.
