Users only need to install the VPN and authenticate with their email address
I primarily use remote VPN solutions to connect securely. We have configured both site-to-site VPN and remote VPN, and it is connected to FortiClient Implementing this solution has streamlined time management in our organization. Without SSO, we would need manual configuration for each PC, but…

Quotes from Members

Pros

"Fortinet FortiClient offers a vulnerability test feature, allowing us to monitor end-user devices. This includes ensuring necessary updates, such as Windows updates, are not overlooked."
"It is a feature-rich product that is easy to use and install without sacrificing security."
"The most valuable feature of Fortinet FortiClient is its performance."
"Installation was easy."
"The most valuable features of Fortinet FortiClient are ease of use and simple configuration."
"The technical support from Fortinet and local vendors is good."
"The most valuable feature of Fortinet FortiClient is dual authentication and the VPN is secure."
"Fortinet FortiClient is easy to use, and the single-access managed login is pretty good."
"In case it works, we are looking to use features like USB blocking, file upload alerts, and other antivirus features as well, but this software has to work first."
"The solution is stable."
"The most valuable feature is its endpoint protection, particularly the antivirus component. It has been very effective in protecting our clients, and since its installation, we haven't encountered any issues with compromised endpoints or virus impacts."
"The most valuable features of the solution are DLP, XDR, and EDR functionalities."
"The solution effectively detects malicious files and blocks sign-ins."
"Seqrite Endpoint Security provides external protection in terms of hard drives."
"The only thing that I have found useful is that I have an overview of my systems in the networks."
"Endpoint Security's best features are inventory, asset management, and quick scanning."
 

Cons

"FortiClient needs improvement in restricting user information and ensuring more secure customer data to better protect source code and reduce the risk of security breaches."
"I would like to see endpoint detection and response included."
"In the next release, I would like to see an additional layer of security added."
"The pricing of the solution should be less expensive."
"We've got one client where it was blocking the smartphones, and there's a way to set it up on Fortigate that's supposed to do that. However, it didn't work with them since they had a 2FA multi-factor."
"The reports could be easier to set up."
"An area of improvement could be better integration with the active directory. I did not find it easy to configure."
"One area that could be improved is cost, but you've got to pay for what you get."
"The solution could integrate with other products to provide a comprehensive protection strategy."
"A handbook of known issues and quick fixes should be given so that troubleshooting and frustration are less."
"We are using Apple devices, and the advanced device control service doesn't work for M1 chips devices, like Apple MacBooks."
"The support offered by the tool is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The pricing could be a bit lower."
"The cost of the solution can be improved."
"When it comes to the support provided by the product, I see that Seqrite is not as mature as the other products in the market."
"Sometimes, small and medium businesses, or even startups with just five, ten, or fifteen systems, are also keen to secure their data. There is a reluctance on the part of the technical team to extend installation support when the opportunity sizes are smaller. Seqrite Endpoint Security has a lot of value. Still, its marketing could be done much better on a larger scale, especially in India, in light of the new DPDP 2023 Act, which the Indian Parliament passed. It would be even more valuable if Seqrite could incorporate features to help companies comply with this law, it would be even more helpful."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"If we pay for the yearly package that includes the FortiGate firewall, then the FortiClient VPN license is included with it."
"The price of the solution depends on the type of firewall you have from FortiGate. I am satisfied with the price of the solution."
"The price is reasonable compared to competitors, it is very good."
"It is not that expensive. It was within the range. A dollar per user per month is nothing."
"Its pricing is good. One thing that has always attracted us to the Fortinet range of products is that their pricing is very competitive. Our particular licensing is on a yearly basis. However, as part of this project, we did pre-purchase three years of maintenance and support at a fairly significant discount."
"The pricing is good because you get and end-to-end security solution in one package price."
"I rate the product's pricing a seven out of ten."
"Licensing was free up to ten users and after that, it was pretty reasonable."
"My company needs to purchase a yearly subscription for the licensing costs for Seqrite Endpoint Security."
"The solution's pricing is good for us, where it is neither cheap nor expensive."
"There is no option to refund the money and unfortunately, we bought a three-year license, seeing that Quick Heal is a long-established player in the market."
"Endpoint Security is cheaper than Trend Micro."
"You need to pay for a yearly license for Seqrite Endpoint Security, which is expensive."
"I give the cost of the solution a seven out of ten."
"It is a cheaply priced product."
"Though I don't think that this is a cheaply priced product, I feel that it is an affordable solution."
