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

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Overall Fortinet FortiClient has good functionality."
"It is a scalable product."
"The initial setup of this solution is easy."
"The EMS server gives us good control and central management."
"Fortinet FortiClient is not disruptive, and its interface is great. It has an in-built VPN, which is very useful."
"Fortinet FortiClient's scalability is very good because it has no limitations."
"The interface of Fortinet FortiClient is clean and easy to use."
"It is a stable solution."
"The only thing that I have found useful is that I have an overview of my systems in the networks."
"The most valuable part of the solution is its ransomware backup feature."
"The solution effectively detects malicious files and blocks sign-ins."
"The solution is stable."
"The update process and policy control are good."
"The setup process was easy for our remote clients and us as well."
"There are many features available in this solution, such as asset management."
"The solution's current features include antivirus, web filtering, file activity monitoring, PAM, firewall, IDS/IPS, and DLP. Though I'm not familiar with the whole solution, it is good."
 

Cons

"The product's performance and pricing could be better."
"In terms of improvements, their SSL VPN tunnel can be a lot better. I've seen other products that have got much better VPN features than Fortinet. Some of my colleagues get this error called "License not available." When they get this error, they have to uninstall and reinstall it. This kind of problem is there, and sometimes, we have to open a case with Fortinet to resolve it. Their support is quick, so we are able to resolve and move forward. In terms of new features, when it is connecting, it should check the endpoint and say whether the end client is actually safe enough or whether there is a vulnerability. It should give a pop-up on the client itself. Because I'm on the admin side, I can also see this information in the log. However, if a non-IT user, such as a user from finance, is working on this and there is some problem, he or she would not know about this and would call IT admin to say that this is not working. If the users get a message explaining why and what is happening, it is easy for them to understand."
"For buying or deploying it with additional features, apart from VPN client, web security, or antivirus, I would like to see the USB key blocking function included in this solution for endpoint security. For endpoint security, you need antivirus and all of the features included in antivirus software these days, web security, and USB key locking feature. If it is implemented in a way that in one package, you have all the primary features needed for security these days, it would be nice. All of those features will probably be additionally charged as it is a web security feature on FortiClient."
"One area for improvement in FortiClient is the speed of connectivity."
"The price could also use improvement."
"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 solution could be more secure. I would like to see more safety features."
"It would be nice to see more in hand features in terms of the DLP, so that the solution can be integrated with the DLP, as well as more reporting features on the end point."
"Endpoint Security would be improved by adding DLP."
"We are using Apple devices, and the advanced device control service doesn't work for M1 chips devices, like Apple MacBooks."
"The interface is slow."
"The product or service could be improved by incorporating SIEM integrations to enable the collection of logs."
"The cost of the solution can be improved."
"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."
"In the next version, they should improve the areas of utility and centralized control."
"User management could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of the solution depends on the type of firewall you have from FortiGate. I am satisfied with the price of the solution."
"FortiClient is costly."
"The price is reasonable compared to competitors, it is very good."
"Fortinet requires you to buy a lot of product in order for you to have proper protection."
"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."
"Anyone can download this product for free, but you have to have a FortiGate gateway that you are connecting to."
"Pricing is an area that I would like to see improved, as it could be lower."
"I rate the product's pricing a seven out of ten."
"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."
"The solution has reasonable pricing. There is one pricing without any hidden charges. They have to pay once a year or three years."
"Though I don't think that this is a cheaply priced product, I feel that it is an affordable solution."
"We pay approximately $1,500 for licenses for the solution."
"The license isn't expensive."
"We get the tool for around 1200 rupees for a three-year subscription. I rate its pricing a nine out of ten."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"Endpoint Security is cheaper than Trend Micro."
