Enhance secure remote access with feature-rich VPN and content filtering
We mainly use FortiClient as a VPN client. Additionally, we use it for anti-malware, anti-spam, and as a content filter. When a user is outside the company, we can use FortiClient as a content filter to control the sites the user can access FortiClient has improved our security posture by…

Protects the global station and has good stability
The feature I find most valuable is that it protects the global station The solution's integration with the Windows environment could be better. The solution needs better integration with products, if it did, it would have the assumption of better security. I've been using the solution since…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution is stable, we have not had any issues in the time we have been using it."
"It’s really easy to use."
"The stability is pretty good."
"FortiClient is very easy, useful, and practical."
"This solution is very stable."
"The most valuable feature is the single pane of glass, single point of management."
"What I like most about FortiClient is that it's easy to use. The way it displays information is very straightforward."
"FortiClient has good signatures, good protection and, up until recently, it integrated really well with our firewall."
"The feature I find most valuable is that it protects the global station."
 

Cons

"The user interface could be more inviting."
"The features for application control and device control must be improved."
"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."
"FortiClient is not communicating with the new version of the firewall."
"We would like Fortinet to add the function or the possibility to use all FortiClient features for free."
"There should be more frequent releases or updates."
"The reports could be easier to set up."
"The solution could add data to the endpoint."
"The solution's integration with the Windows environment could be better."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is more cost efficient than Cisco, as FortiGate tends not to charge for the client license, which allows one to make free use of whatever is supported on the device."
"An annual license costs about 1.5 to 3,000 US dollars. There are no additional costs."
"The product's licensing is yearly and expensive."
"It is a yearly subscription license. I don't see a problem with the pricing. Resellers add their markup and then give it to us, but I don't see that as a major challenge. It is fine."
"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."
"If we pay for the yearly package that includes the FortiGate firewall, then the FortiClient VPN license is included with it."
"I don't know it by heart, but it is comparable to other solutions. It is based on the number of clients. It is probably 50 Euros per year per client. It greatly depends on the number of clients you're handling because the more clients you are ordering it for, the cheaper it will be."
