For endpoint protection, I find the vulnerability scanner provided by the tool to be very effective. The web filter and application control filter are very good in the product. The tool offers timely remediation plans. It detects viruses and trojan attacks actively and is very responsive, making it a very good software. The VPN feature of the tool has increased network security since it helps the tool provide protection whenever users want to access the local network from the internet, and users need to apply only those resources to which they access be provided. It is very easy to handle the tool from the firewall and Fortinet FortiClient VPN, as well as Fortinet FortiClient Endpoint Security. The tool can provide a very comprehensive protection to secure your data and and deal with security breaches. I recommend the product to those who plan to use it since it is a very good product, especially if you use the firewall products offered by Fortinet. People can go with Fortinet FortiClient Endpoint Security since it is very easy to manage your local PCs, local endpoints, and external and internal networks. The tool single-handedly manages your firewall, making it very easy to manage the network. The product can handle cybersecurity threats, especially if you have a hold on your endpoints and servers. On a single-click page, the tool allows you to detect vulnerabilities and active threats and block them or quarantine them with a single click. The product is beneficial if you use the firewall product offered by Fortinet FortiGate since it acts as a centralized tool to handle all the endpoints in your network from a single server. You can see the traffic and see what is going out or what is coming in, and also handle the inventory of your network, like how many PCs are infected, making it a solution that is quite easy to use. I rate the tool an eight out of ten.
We are partners. I will recommend the tool to others. It is easy to integrate with FortiGate. We can use policies for endpoint protection. Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.
I would not recommend Fortinet FortiClient to other users because of its low visibility of end-user actions. Overall, I rate Fortinet FortiClient a seven out of ten.
If your employees might have a weak internet connection (for instance, mobile) think twice before choosing this configuration. If you decide to have FortiClient, never use the WebFilter component. Even Microsoft analog works better (if you really need it).
I used Fortinet FortiClient for cryptography, which is something one can achieve faster over the solution. An alternative solution to consider is Cisco OpenConnect. It's important to consider the requirements of its users because, ultimately, everyone goes for a different redundancy. Fortinet FortiClient and Cisco OpenConnect are VPN solutions that can establish secure connections with other individuals or networks. They are both available as open-source resources. Since I am not from the procurement side, I cannot recommend the solution to anyone from my end. However, from a technical perspective, I will be in a position to comment. Overall, I rate this solution seven and a half out of ten.
We are Fortinet partners. We're using the latest version of the solution. We renewed our hardware just last year. I'd recommend the solution to others. I'd rate the product nine out of ten.

I would totally recommend it. The stability of the connection is great. The performance is also great, and I don't see any big improvements that are necessary. I would rate it an 8 out of 10. I haven't seen a software I would give a 10 because 10 would just mean that the company can just sit back and do nothing else in the future.
I would recommend this solution to others because it is very good. I rate Fortinet FortiClient an eight out of ten. I would rate the solution higher if the solution has better compatibility with the mobile application.

We’re integrators and resellers. I don't have the full version, though, as we don't run EMS. However, one of our clients does. There's a lot of good documentation. Just Google it. You can find what you need about the solution. I’d rate the solution a nine out of ten.
I administrate FortiGate. Within my new job, I am trying to be a partner with FortiGate and FortiClient to sell it to other clients. I have to get my certification just to be expert I’d advise users to just look into best practices. Maybe try to join a training session. You can also simply go on the internet and try to find the best practices that make sense for you. I’d rate the solution eight out of ten.
I would rate Fortinet FortiClient an eight out of ten. It's so easy to use. I just wish the reports were a little easier to use. We are going through a growth spurt, buying up many little offices. FortiClient integrated with VeloCloud allows us to convert them fast, and that's our end game.

It definitely fulfills the purpose. It does a lot of things. I'm specifically using it for web filtering and VPN, but it also has other features. The zero-trust network feature is one of them. I haven't yet tried their zero network policies, and that's something that I'm now looking into. They claim to have fantastic features there, and that's the next one for me to try. They also have an antivirus, but because we already have a Microsoft one, I just didn't give it a try. It is a part of the huge list of its benefits. I would rate it a nine out of 10.

For one looking for a secure virtual private network that maintains connectivity and has future development for next generations of VPN, the solution is a good place to start. I rate Fortinet FortiClient as a nine out of ten.

I would give it eight out of 10 with the VPN. Without the VPN, I would maybe rate it a seven. One of the main selling points is that it integrates all that stuff together.
The solution is on-premises and we have our own server. We have a database server and, for the moment, I don't have any issues with its resources. Perhaps, in the future, this will change. I would recommend the solution to others without hesitation. It works very well. The EMS is very nice. I rate Fortinet FortiClient as an eight out of ten.
We are Fortinet partners. I would recommend the solution to other users and companies. It's a very useful tool and I have enjoyed working with it. It meets our expectations. I would rate the solution at a nine out of ten.

It's a little harder to deploy on Mac devices. When I installed FortiClient, it didn't even work at the beginning. The user experience in Mac to check the antivirus and antispyware protection is not good. In order to work with FortiClient very well, you need to deploy the VPNs through FortiGate. So those who would like to use Fortinet FortiClient would need to evaluate the bandwidth capacity and how they are going to use a feature that's called split tunneling. That's the main thing they have to consider in order to design their requirements for the person who is going to develop and implement it on the customer's side. On a scale from one to ten, I would rate Fortinet FortiClient at eight.

I would recommend this solution. They are developing more EDP as it comes out, and they are staying on track with their development side and current trends. I would recommend others to talk to Fortinet Professional Services before using a local professional. What we found as part of our long implementation was that the local professionals generally have a very good grasp of one area but not in bringing the fabric together, where you have the EMS, Folder Manager, Sandbox, all the firewalls, and other things coming together. There may be some out there who are good at it, but we ran into a number that didn't have a grasp across the whole thing, and we ended up talking directly to Fortinet Professional Services. I would rate Fortinet FortiClient an eight out of ten.

I would advise looking into the EMS feature we are considering it right now, it is worth investing into. In the free base solution for FortiClient, you do not get to customize your VPN solution in the with the client. The current versions that are available for FortiClient they are quite old. If you want to use the solution to its potential, get the Enterprise Management System (EMS). Additionally, purchase the customization of the FortiClient tool, it is also beneficial. I gave this solution a seven out of ten because I would say its stability needs serious improvements, but on the upside it is relatively cheap to implement and free for basic features also well integrated into the Fortinet solution. To get my scoring up to a ten they need to have better stability. I rate Fortinet FortiClient a seven out of ten.
I would recommend that you have good preparation, and look into Fortinet Cookbook. You will have much more. I would rate Fortinet FortiClient a ten out of ten.

I would recommend this solution, but it depends on the expectations of the users. There are so many solutions like Sophos and Palo Alto. We are looking for an extended solution to prevent unwanted problems with viruses on the internet. We would like to implement extended web security for other users, but we have a limited budget. We would like to implement FortiClient or Trend Micro USB key locket. We are expecting to get the price for Fortinet as well as Trend Micro endpoint security for about a hundred users. I would rate Fortinet FortiClient a seven out of ten.
I can recommend FortiClient to others who are interested in using it. I would rate FortiClient an eight out of ten. Nothing ever gets a ten. That would mean that it's perfect and there is no room for improvement. That is never the case with anything in life.
I can definitely encourage other people to use the FortiClient VPN. FortiClient is a pretty great solution for the VPN. On a scale from one to ten (where one is the worst and ten is the best), I can rate FortiClient as a seven-out-of-ten from my experience with this product over the past six months.

If you want to know the product, or if you do not want to rely on the support, then you have to master the product. Basically, you should know in and out of the product, and you should have extensive knowledge about it. You'll get that knowledge only by working, provided you have the right tools to understand. I learned this tool by using it and going through the knowledge base. They have a knowledge base website, which has almost everything. You just need to apply a little bit of logic to understand what it is. I did not use technical support for help. We don't require anything extra because it has everything that is needed for current infrastructures. Whether it is the cloud infrastructure or the on-premises infrastructure, they have got everything inside it. I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

My advice to Fortinet is that they should make a change to FortiClient pricing. They should have a renewal price that is lower than the new purchase price. They should include the price bundle as a renewal price, like say you were purchasing UTM (Unified Threat Management) next year for support. They should include a renewal process in their pricing scheme, and not just treat all purchasing as a new contract. On a scale from one to ten where one is the worst and ten is the best, I would rate FortiClient as an eight-out-of-ten.

That's why I have stayed with Fortinet FortiClient for ten years.

If you are thinking to adopt the Fortinet SSL VPN, you have to consider the security level, because, by default, FortiClients can only integrate with FortiToken with a very limited license that will give you two. You can purchase additional FortiToken licenses for the MFA, or you can change to another solution, or the final option is to have the security level compromised, where the users just have user passwords to get authenticated. If users share their password with other users then the account is compromised. You cannot use multifactor authentication to prevent or to mitigate that risk. If you choose to use FortiClient you have to consider that feature. I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.
We are using the on-premises deployment model. I would recommend the solution. You can use it anytime, anywhere, even from the beach if you wanted to. I'd rate the solution eight out of ten. It's very functional.
When it comes to Fortinet, the users are not a big fan of their current model. Bit by bit, they pull you into to buying the entire security fabric. You have to buy a lot of product, and a lot of licenses, to enable all of the features which will help you to secure your environment. This is unlike other solutions, where you have the ability to buy a particular product and it will do its job from the start to the end. I'm thinking that they are trying to move to the McAfee model, where everything is a separate license that needs to be added. You have to buy a lot of product to get the perfect solution. For me, the suitability of a solution often comes down to the price. Nobody is going to complain about the installation. I will design the solution and it will be the most secure solution, ever. I would rate this solution a four out of ten.

It's a good solution. It works fine. It's the right solution if you use Fortinet. If we didn't have Fortinet, we wouldn't use it. I would rate it an eight out of ten.
I would rate it a seven out of ten. My advice to others would be that they should standardize whatever they are running on their environment. If they are going for FortiClient, especially the 6.2 version, they need to standardize or upgrade their computer to standard specifications. I will also advise them to read the instructions so that they don't have any issues when they deploy FortiClient. They should plan accordingly before deploying FortiClient. Once they are sure about the policies they want to implement, they can proceed and deploy FortiClient. That would save them on deployment time and on troubleshooting if things go wrong. Proper planning is required before the deployment of FortiClient. One of the biggest lessons I learned after a long struggle, was when some of my users were being denied access to a certain website some were marked as malicious and some were not suitable for viewing. My initial thought was that the firewall was the problem and that it was blocking all these users from accessing these websites. But I later realized that it wasn't the firewall blocking them, but FortiClient.

Fortinet has acquired a company called enSilo, which is into EDR. As a result, Fortinet basically has EPP as well as EDR. Generally, a lot of EPPs cannot coexist, but Fortinet EPP and EDR can coexist, so that's a plus. I would rate Fortinet FortiClient a nine out of ten. It's very popular and easy to use. That's why I have stayed with Fortinet FortiClient for ten years.
If you are thinking to adopt the Fortinet SSL VPN, you have to consider the security level, because, by default, FortiClients can only integrate with FortiToken with a very limited license that will give you two. You can purchase additional FortiToken licenses for the MFA, or you can change to another solution, or the final option is to have the security level compromised, where the users just have user passwords to get authenticated. If users share their password with other users then the account is compromised. You cannot use multifactor authentication to prevent or to mitigate that risk. If you choose to use FortiClient you have to consider that feature. I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.
In terms of a traditional VPN, I can recommend this product. I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.
This is a solution that I recommend. While there are some issues that need to be fixed, they are minor. I would rate this solution a ten out of ten.
We are using the on-premises deployment model. I would recommend the solution. You can use it anytime, anywhere, even from the beach if you wanted to. I'd rate the solution eight out of ten. It's very functional.
When it comes to Fortinet, the users are not a big fan of their current model. Bit by bit, they pull you into to buying the entire security fabric. You have to buy a lot of product, and a lot of licenses, to enable all of the features which will help you to secure your environment. This is unlike other solutions, where you have the ability to buy a particular product and it will do its job from the start to the end. I'm thinking that they are trying to move to the McAfee model, where everything is a separate license that needs to be added. You have to buy a lot of product to get the perfect solution. For me, the suitability of a solution often comes down to the price. Nobody is going to complain about the installation. I will design the solution and it will be the most secure solution, ever. I would rate this solution a four out of ten.
I would recommend FortiClient. This is a really good security product in the market. They have good products which they are improving.
It's a good solution. It works fine. It's the right solution if you use Fortinet. If we didn't have Fortinet, we wouldn't use it. I would rate it an eight out of ten.
I would rate it a nine out of ten. Not a ten because nothing is perfect.
I would rate it a seven out of ten. My advice to others would be that they should standardize whatever they are running on their environment. If they are going for FortiClient, especially the 6.2 version, they need to standardize or upgrade their computer to standard specifications. I will also advise them to read the instructions so that they don't have any issues when they deploy FortiClient. They should plan accordingly before deploying FortiClient. Once they are sure about the policies they want to implement, they can proceed and deploy FortiClient. That would save them on deployment time and on troubleshooting if things go wrong. Proper planning is required before the deployment of FortiClient. One of the biggest lessons I learned after a long struggle, was when some of my users were being denied access to a certain website some were marked as malicious and some were not suitable for viewing. My initial thought was that the firewall was the problem and that it was blocking all these users from accessing these websites. But I later realized that it wasn't the firewall blocking them, but FortiClient.
The functionality of the solution is pretty good. I think with every version the solution gets dramatically better. I would rate the solution eight out of ten.
This product is not terrible, but I don't have any basis in which to say that it is good. Because we don't really have any problems with it, I would rate this product a ten out of ten.
I would advise someone considering this solution to use as much functionality as possible on the endpoint. I would rate it a seven out of ten. It fills remote access needs. I give it a seven because of the issues we had between IPsec and SSL. I also give it a seven for its cost, which is very low. It was a good product while I had it.
