What is your experience regarding pricing and costs for Fortinet FortiClient?

FortiClient is cost-effective since the client itself is free with the purchase of Fortinet. Licensing costs are mid-range for us, considered as five on a ten-point scale.

Currently, since we are deploying it, compared to before, it's a good price and cost. That said, now it has become costly. The rating is seven out of ten in terms of pricing.

We have a paid license. FortiClient is costly. We work within a limited budget, and the pricing is steep compared to other vendors, which doesn't make sense for our organization. We’re currently in the rollout phase, but we want to fast-track it and achieve full deployment before moving on to the next phases.

We pay an annual subscription fee.

The pricing is a six out of ten.

I rate the product's pricing a seven out of ten.

Fortinet FortiClient offers a free version, especially if you only need the VPN service. However, licenses are required for additional features. If you want to use endpoint services for network perimeter control or implement OTP, there are specific licenses for those. The free solution covers basic needs, while licenses are needed for advanced functionalities.

The product's licensing is yearly and expensive.

I know nothing about pricing.

As a technical team member, I am not responsible to look into the pricing matters. These aspects are typically handled by the management team, who have the authority to obtain the necessary licenses based on certain established principles. Also, I can only let the management team know when the license will expire. Ultimately, the decision-makers are the business consultants.

The solution is expensive. We found the cloud to be very expensive. Licensing is usually paid yearly.

I can't speak to the pricing. The customer handled the costs.

The solution is not expensive. We need more discounted rates in Pakistan. The price of the solution could be reduced to be more affordable for the solution. I rate the price of Fortinet FortiClient a nine out of ten.

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.

I believe that licensing costs $500 per year for a 25-seat pack. It's a reasonable price although for small businesses, the disadvantage is that you have to buy a minimum 25 licenses.

The pricing was okay. They recently changed it. I just purchased it, and they doubled the price. It was not a very friendly move. The problem is that the marketing guy is always working with forecasting, and they're crazy about their forecast. The vendor is crazy about the forecast, yet they doubled the price without warning me. It's very hard to make a budget that way. It's paid every year. This year, when I saw the price, I thought, "oh my God, it's double what was in the last year." For 200 users, that was not very, very painful. However, you need to explain to everyone why you spent more.

They've got a free version that most of our clients have. I'm not sure of the costs beyond that. When you get into the licenses with the EMS and all that, I don't know how much it costs. I'm not on the sales side.

I don’t know the exact pricing of the solution. It’s not an aspect I worry about.

If you have the chance to revamp, ask yourself what is your vision and start designing it on paper and understand what covers betters your needs, and move towards it. Start with your internal competencies and build on them.

It is not that expensive. It was within the range. A dollar per user per month is nothing.

The pricing is reasonable if you compare it to some other vendors. Of course, you can always get an additional discount from the Fortinet channel and account managers. You can also shop around with different vendors to see who will give you a better price.

The licensing fee varies with what one is trying to accomplish. It can range from being free to costing several hundred thousand dollars per year.

FortiClient is much cheaper than endpoint protection systems made by Cisco and other companies. Pricing is especially important in Bosnia. We were deploying Cisco M, but not too many companies can afford that.

FortiClient in standalone mode does not require a license. If there is no EMS license or FortiGate FortiClient Telemetry license, no Fortinet support is provided. A license is required to access Fortinet support.

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 pricing is good and licensing is paid on a yearly basis. Licensing for FortiClient is included with the VPN and the FortiGate firewall. If we pay for the yearly package that includes the FortiGate firewall, then the FortiClient VPN license is included with it.

We are currently using the free version of the solution. We don't pay a licensing fee to use the solution.

I don't have the licensing schema for the VPN solution because we just purchased the VPN gateway.

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.

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 base price should include basic VPN support in addition to Vulnerability scanning, and I think this is beneficial against other solutions. The price is reasonable compared to competitors, it is very good to upgrade to paid EMS + forticlient for the additional features covering Endpoint protection.

Pricing is an area that I would like to see improved, as it could be lower. They offer bundles for one year, two years, or five years. The one year bundle works for me.

Generally, Fortinet is not cheap. The features that are available for free are only for FortiClient VPN clients, not other solutions. It includes web security, antivirus, and one more feature.

The price point again is silver products and that is what I'm trying to work out. So I don't know if that's a bad or a good thing for Forticlient. I don't know where it's priced. I don't know about the price.

The product we are using is not subscription-based. This is a free version. I just downloaded from the Fortinet website and it is free to use.

The cost per port is very less as compared to the other technologies.

Clients need not only to look at the price of the product as a bottom line. Some products offer more as a package, as Fortinet does in this case. Some customers see only dollar signs when there is more to evaluating the value of a product offering than the only cost.

FortiClient is quite reasonably priced. You can get the firewall box rather than just the SSL VPN box. When you purchase extra hardware, you are not restricted in the number of end users. This compares favorably to other solutions such as Cisco AnyConnects or Pulse VPN, where you have to pay extra for the end-user license and it gets quite expensive.

The pricing is reasonable.

Fortinet requires you to buy a lot of product in order for you to have proper protection.

The price is okay and competitive.

An annual license costs about 1.5 to 3,000 US dollars. There are no additional costs.

Anyone can download this product for free, but you have to have a FortiGate gateway that you are connecting to.

Licensing was free up to ten users and after that, it was pretty reasonable.
