Jamf Connect is a Mac device authentication solution, that lets a user unbox their device, power it on and access all of their corporate applications and resources after signing on with a single set of cloud identity credentials.
we use FortiAuthenticator in our organization by integrating the server with Active directory to sync and authenticate users from Organization Units created in Active directory. By sending the FortiToken from to the end user, the user can use the Token to authenticate his username and password to access Palo Alto global protect VPN access

Jamf Connect works particularly well in our lab environments where the central "source of truth" for student accounts is our Okta IdP. As Apple has recommended moving away from Active Directory binding (which was our previous source of truth for authentication) we needed a new central way to manage this function. Okta worked well for other services on campus, and it was a smooth integration to make it work with Jamf Connect for virtually all use cases on campus (we still have a couple of NAS/SAN systems that require Active Directory).

It is almost a certainty that we will continue to use Jamf Connect, even with Apple coming out with Platform Single Sign On. Jamf Connect provides several features that PSSO does not, such as "just in time" local account creation and automatic synchronization of enterprise credentials. It is unlikely that we would investigate other options at this time or in the near future.

Jamf Connect is quite easy to use and has the necessary options on the login screen (such as WiFi network connection) for getting connected and authenticated. It has a simple to use menulet that allows password changes and resets as well as temporary elevation, all with very clear workflows. It also allows us to assign field staff to their client users' computers so that they can provide support without having to resort to LAPS accounts.

FortiAuthenticator is superior in many ways against other peers like Cisco Duo for example. Simply that has more features in integrating with firewalls and securing large users base. The user friendly GUI is a plus point to FortiAuthenticator and the way its securing the users access and authenticating the users with active directory make it stand up

The only other product we evaluated was Xcreds from TwoCanoes software, which is essentially a one person shop. We already were Jamf Pro customers, and Jamf Connect fulfilled all of the requirements for this function along with providing professional customer support. Since we already had a relationship with Jamf, it made perfect sense to add this product to our toolkit, and keep technical support contained within one organization.
