The FortiToken-200 allows organizations to deploy a two-factor authentication solution. It is an easy-to-use, one-time password (OTP) token that reduces the risk of compromise created by alternative single-factor authentication systems relying on, for example, static passwords. The FortiToken enables administrators with the need for two-factor authentication to offer enhanced security for both remote and on-premise users. The FortiToken-200 ensures that only authorized individuals access your organization's sensitive information - enabling business, protecting your data, lowering IT costs, and boosting user productivity.

Fast and easy installation, stable, and doesn't require much maintenance
What is our primary use case?
We are using it for VPN. We have its latest version.
How has it helped my organization?
It has improved the way our organization functions.
What is most valuable?
Its ease of installation is most valuable. It took me five minutes, and it was up and running. It didn't take me that long. The installation on the cell phones is pretty simple.
What needs improvement?
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.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using this solution for about a year.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
It is stable. There are no stability issues.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
Its scalability is pretty good. We only have 100 to 150 FortiTokens. We're not that big. All people in our organization are using it. It goes from CFO, CEO to the basic call center.
How are customer service and technical support?
We didn't need to use it so far.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
We do use Cisco Duo for another 2FA solution. We don't really use any other solution now. It is pretty much FortiToken.
How was the initial setup?
It was easy. It took me five minutes, and it was up and running.
What other advice do I have?
If you're looking for a fast installation, easy deployment, and not much maintenance, this is the solution to go for, but the only thing is that it is good for Fortinet. It is not good for anything else.
I would rate Fortinet FortiToken an eight out of ten.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
Public Cloud

Mature, stable, and easy to use and deploy
What is most valuable?
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.
What needs improvement?
It needs a lot of coupling with their other Fortinet products. To implement FortiToken, I most probably need to couple it with FortiAuthenticator for full implementation. An RSA token can be used with many devices, whereas Fortinet FortiToken is always linked to only one FortiGate device. If I want to reuse the token across five or six FortiGates, I would have to get the FortiAuthenticator product. I can't use one token to connect to different FortiGates, and I need to get another product to enable this functionality.
They should also improve the support for their mobile client. There should be a more detailed roadmap for the operating systems being supported. Some of our users were using an old iOS iPhone, and they were forced to get a newer phone because FortiToken didn't support that version of iOS. Similarly, there may be a version of Android that is not supported, so the users need to change the phone. This was one of the reasons why our deployment took longer.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using this solution for three years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
It is stable.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
It is not scalable because it is attached to one device.
How are customer service and technical support?
Their technical support is quite good. The product itself is quite simple to use, and there have been very few times when I had to call the support. Basically, in the past three years, we didn't log any tickets for support.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
We have used RSA tokens. Fortinet FortiToken is much easier to use than RSA tokens. In terms of our experience with day-to-day management, it is very good as compared to RSA.
How was the initial setup?
It was quite straightforward. We deployed it for about 500 users, and it took about a month. The deployment is quite fast. You can just get it done within two weeks, but it took time in getting feedback on whether the phones and the OS versions that were being used by our users were supported. It took us longer to iron out all such issues and to get the phones that were supported with this solution.
What other advice do I have?
I would recommend this solution to others, but they need to know what it is used for. Because this is a 2FA, where you implement it will actually matter. If you want to deploy it globally and you have many FortiGates, you would need additional products, such as FortiAuthenticator. If you're deploying it to only a single site and everybody is connecting to that site and using it as a 2FA, it is the right solution.
I would rate Fortinet FortiToken an eight out of ten.
