Remote access has become seamless and secure while deployment remains simple for our users
Performance could be improved today. People are now moving toward SASE, which stands for Secure Access, Secure Edge Solution. Fortinet also has that offering, which would be easier since it operates through the cloud, acting as a first line of defense. When the user connects to the internet, they connect to the cloud first for posture assessment and monitoring before connecting to the outside world. The impact is significant because nowadays people are adopting SASE. During COVID time, many users were trying to connect back to their office, causing the performance or CPU utilization of the firewall to increase tremendously, which slowed down performance. I have not worked with endpoint telemetry in Fortinet FortiClient that could have been helpful for threat mitigation.

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

"We use the net UTM feature, which synchronizes with our office UTM and allows us to block URLs."
"This is a solution that I recommend."
"The most valuable feature of FortiClient is its high security level."
"The most valuable features of FortiClient are that it can be integrated with Active Directory to the central authentication and that I can manage the permissions."
"We are going through a growth spurt, buying up many little offices, and FortiClient integrated with VeloCloud allows us to convert them fast, and that's our end game."
"It's a good solution."
"We haven't had any stability issues or viruses since we started using FortiClient."
"FortiClient is a very reliable partner, as it has ticked all the checkboxes for our organization's requirements."
"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

"Cloud services are very expensive for us."
"It just needs to stay more up to date in catching the malware."
"I would like to see improvements in the dashboard for better reporting."
"Sometimes there are issues when we are trying to connect. The error doesn't give us the proper feedback."
"The documentation of this product could be improved."
"The user interface is a bit sluggish and needs improvement."
"The support can be improved. They have room to improve by deploying more support resources."
"It would be extremely useful to have an automatic updating feature."
"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

"We are using the free version of this product."
"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."
"Licensing was free up to ten users and after that, it was pretty reasonable."
"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."
"The solution's scalability is inexpensive."
"Anyone can download this product for free, but you have to have a FortiGate gateway that you are connecting to."
"I rate the product's pricing a seven out of ten."
"The pricing is a six out of ten."
"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."
