MuhammadJahangir - PeerSpot reviewer
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…
Thomas Van Der Wel - PeerSpot reviewer
A stable solution that is easy to set up and offers high download speeds
The problem with the solution is that most of the time, it uses a certain IP address that does not change much. If I'm using a different country, like Germany, it still uses the same IP address, and the downside is that this doesn't work well with services like Netflix because Netflix realizes that I'm using a VPN.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"This solution makes it easier to work from home."
"From an application perspective, this solution is stable."
"It is a feature-rich product that is easy to use and install without sacrificing security."
"The most valuable features of Fortinet FortiClient are ease of use and simple configuration."
"FortiClient's most valuable features are that it's easy to install and connect and has OTP on email IDs and two-factor authentication."
"When the user gets authenticated, I can assign a different VPN or network to each user."
"What I find valuable in FortiClient is its patch management capabilities, allowing remote updates efficiently."
"The solution is easy to configure and manage."
"l like the high download speed of the solution. Of course, it depends on which country you're using, but most countries are fast, and the solution doesn't limit your internet speed very much."
 

Cons

"Fortinet FortiClient should improve its visibility of the consumption of traffic and end-user action, which is very low."
"While I cannot think of new features to add, it would be nice if the reports were improved, to have these sent automatically."
"The solution can improve by adding new remote console or endpoint features to make the solution easier to use."
"We do not use the solution every day and there are times when the new users have trouble reconnecting. The technology itself works but our users getting adopted to it is a major problem. Having the user adapt to the desktop landing page that it begins on is throwing them off a bit."
"The licensing feature of the product requires improvement since whenever the license expires, the tool logs out its users automatically, irrespective of whether they are on the network or not, which can be problematic for me."
"One area that could be improved is cost, but you've got to pay for what you get."
"It would be extremely useful to have an automatic updating feature."
"The solution's access control could be improved."
"The problem with the solution is that most of the time, it uses a certain IP address that does not change much. If I'm using a different country, like Germany, it still uses the same IP address, and the downside is that this doesn't work well with services like Netflix because Netflix realizes that I'm using a VPN."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product's licensing is yearly and expensive."
"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."
"The solution's scalability is inexpensive."
"Pricing is an area that I would like to see improved, as it could be lower."
"We are using the free version of this product."
"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 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."
"FortiClient is costly."
"My licensing cost is about 80 euros a year, which I find very reasonable because I can use the solution on up to three devices and share it with other people."
