We performed a comparison between Fortinet FortiAuthenticator and LastPass based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Single Sign-On (SSO) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The solution is easy to learn and makes it easy for our users to add FortiToken. It's very easy to integrate if you have other Fortinet devices."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is RADIUS service and the social network integration feature."
"I appreciate its ability to provide multi-factor authentication, but it's primarily focused on this function."
"The initial setup is very easy."
"The product is good, cost-effective, and functionally efficient."
"The product's on-premise version doesn't have recurring costs."
"We have not had issues with Fortinet FortiAuthenticator. It is stable."
"The implementation has significantly improved access management within our organization."
"It's always hard to put a value on return on investment. You avoid one breach and it's paid for a million times over. We got a penetration test company internally, just to see how secure our network is, and there happened to be one bit of software that had been overlooked by an external company that managed it. It hadn't been upgraded so that managed to get them into the network. They would've been able to access through the test thing a file that we had previously. If that was a real-life scenario they would have been able to get into our network and get full access to our organization's passwords. If they did get in, they would have gotten access to the cloud. The ROI we see is that we are completely secured compared to what we had previously where there was a vulnerability."
"The most valuable feature for me is being able to pair applications and user permissions."
"Reduction in number of sensitive passwords stored insecurely on local systems."
"Scalability is fine, no issues with that, especially now that they have added different user-level permissions. That has made it a lot easier to delegate out certain features to have other people do."
"Until now, I haven't found anything like the dashboard. It gives you a security score. I find that to be really great. The Sharing Center is really great as well. And the Security Challenge is really great too."
"The stability has been rock solid. A couple of years ago, they were breached. However, if you had two-factor authentication enabled, it didn't affect you. We did, so it has been good."
"Tech support has been good. We haven't needed it much, because it is not a complex application. There is not that much you have to do with it."
"Increased security around password management for teams and collaborative efforts with external vendors."
"A better integration with other vendors."
"The GUI has some shortcomings and can be made better. The GUI is not great."
"We had issues trying to integrate the keys properly during the initial setup."
"I would like to see more security features in reference to identity login or identity identification."
"Lacks a simplified two-factor authentication process."
"It does the job I paid for, but the graphical interface could be improved."
"The only way the solution could be improved is if it were cheaper."
"I would like to see some email options for Fortinet FortiAuthenticator."
"It is not super feature laden. It does not stand out versus the competition."
"I struggle a little bit with the mobile app. As a browser extension, it works really well, and we are able to get to what we need to. However, on the phone, it's not quite as easy to navigate."
"LastPass has a problem syncing the passwords to all of the users."
"The ability to set up an account expiration limit/date would be very useful."
"I also don't like the add-in for Internet Explorer and Google Chrome, because when you do the add-in, you can actually save that to your credentials in your IE, and the problem is, if I left my screen open, or any of the IT people leave their screen open someone could come up and access all their credentials in LastPass without having to put a password in within your own network. I don't like that functionality. We've banned that from any of our staff adding that as an add-in because we see that as a security risk."
"I would like to be able to reduce the log out time of the session."
"The biggest thing is there is no good way to have LastPass rotate passwords without human intervention. Right now, we have to go into each folder, then rotate and manually update each password. It can be done it by loading a bunch of passwords into a spreadsheet, but this makes the whole process insecure because then the passwords have been noted into a spreadsheet which have to be upload. We have to go into 40 to 50 applications and manually update passwords, because we don't view their solution of writing a bunch of passwords on a spreadsheet, then uploading them as a secure solution. This should be done internally within LastPass."
"The management through the plugin is poor. It consumes tons of client resources especially as an administrator."
