Fortinet Reviews, Ratings & Features 2026 | Gartner Peer Insights

Gartner defines access management (AM) as tools that include authentication, authorization, single sign-on (SSO) and adaptive access capabilities for modern standards-based web applications, classic web applications and APIs. AM’s purpose is to give people (employees, consumers and other users) and machines access to protected applications in a streamlined and consistent way that enhances the user experience. For people, SSO is part of the enhanced experience. AM is also responsible for providing security controls to protect the user session during runtime. It enforces authentication and runtime authorization using adaptive access. Lastly, AM can provide identity context for other cybersecurity tools and reliant applications to enable identity-first security.

Lo implementamos en 2023, después de desplegar los FortiGate, y en general estamos muy contentos con la solución. Lo usamos para más de 100 usuarios, tanto para acceso vpn como para autenitcación en la wifi de clientes mediante vouchers. Destacaría que da bastante visibilidad cuando hay problemas y facilita mucho la gestión de accesos.

We implemented it in 2023, after deploying the FortiGate, and overall we're very happy with the solution. We use it for over 100 users, both for VPN access and for client Wi-Fi authentication via vouchers. I'd highlight that it provides excellent visibility when problems arise and greatly simplifies access management.
