We performed a comparison between Fortinet FortiToken and NetIQ Identity Manager based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Cisco, Fortinet and others in Authentication Systems."Fortinet FortiToken is used for double factor authentication."
"The integrated Fortinet security with the app that allows you to easily do the two-factor authentication is most valuable."
"FortiToken is available in a soft or hard token factor, so there's some flexibility in that. Beyond that, I would say it is a stable solution that has worked for us."
"Its ease of use is most valuable. It is simple to use and can be deployed out-of-the-box. It is quite a mature product with all the required features."
"I love the push-button authentication on FortiToken Mobile. It's also great that the soft token automatically reloads the OTP at intervals, so I always have a fresh code to enter."
"I appreciate that it provides comprehensive security. It is tailored to this specific purpose, and it excels in fulfilling this purpose."
"The deployment is quick and simple."
"Fortinet FortiToken provides security and authenticates that the right external people are working with a company's system."
"The most valuable features are Password Reset Alerts, Password Sync, and SQL connectors."
"It's a very flexible tool, so you can synchronize multiple sources of data and you have multiple connections to various kinds of systems."
"The most valuable feature of NetIQ Identity Manager for identity synchronization is the ability to provide users with all necessary access on day one through automated provisioning, facilitated by approval workflows."
"The most valuable feature of this solution has been the ability for us to integrate a lot of external systems, and the automatic transfer of a lot of identity information. Additionally, the customization is very good."
"I like the eDirectory feature."
"The access request management has improved significantly in terms of its user interface. What sets it apart from competitors like SailPoint is that it's an event-based solution rather than schedule-based. That's a key differentiator."
"The most valuable features of NetIQ Identity Manager are the synchronization of different directories, such as Active Directory. We have many Active Directory systems, not only one."
"The main value lies in the simplicity of implementation, as well as its customized look and feel."
"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."
"Fortinet FortiToken should improve its push notifications."
"I would rate the scalability a seven out of ten. The migration issue definitely brings it down a bit."
"It could be integrated better if you could have your FortiToken, and the license would allow you to work across multiple FortiGate solutions."
"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."
"I would like to see complete OAuth support. Also, if they can support it from a SaaS (Software as a Service) or cloud platform, that would be great."
"The solution works well. We have nothing to complain about."
"Maybe the price could be improved, and the integration could be better. But the integration is different from the authenticator side."
"There's no huge thing missing, because it's already comprehensive. Now and then, however, there might be a minor issue."
"The interface is old and outdated, and the design software seems archaic."
"The solution architecture is somewhat complex. For some components, the necessary resilience is not inherent."
"Areas for improvement are further enhancing the access granting process to reduce time and improve accuracy."
"We have another system that is using the SAML system, and we also integrate with Active Directory only. If NetIQ Identity Manager can integrate directly, we would not need to use the Active Directory directory."
"It needs some modern features. They should improve and modernize their management interface. It has been created over years and by different persons. You can see different applications, different management consoles for different things. There should be an integrated interface."
"NetIQ Identity Manager could improve by updating the user portal, it is out of date."
"The integrations must be made easier."
