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…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"This is a solid and stable solution."
"The solution's most valuable feature is its integration capabilities. The processing is fast and the reporting is also very good."
"We mainly use this solution because we have many Fortinet solutions like antivirus and SSL assessment."
"The performance of FortiClient is impressive."
"It’s easy to use."
"The solution offers great stability."
"It is very simple to use. I've used some of the others in the past, such as Cisco AnyConnect, which was a nightmare. I've used a couple of others, but FortiClient is very simple to use."
"FortiClient benefits us by allowing control over internal and external users of the Fortinet network."
"Seqrite Endpoint Security is a good solution."
"The most valuable feature is its endpoint protection, particularly the antivirus component. It has been very effective in protecting our clients, and since its installation, we haven't encountered any issues with compromised endpoints or virus impacts."
"In case it works, we are looking to use features like USB blocking, file upload alerts, and other antivirus features as well, but this software has to work first."
"I like Seqrite's web protection features and external device control."
"The two valuable features are anti-ransomware and data loss protection."
"The only thing that I have found useful is that I have an overview of my systems in the networks."
"The solution is centrally managed, easy to configure, and easy to use."
"The solution is stable."
 

Cons

"FortiClient is not communicating with the new version of the firewall."
"The solution requires skillful users."
"Occasionally, the solution may provide a slow connection. In addition, there may be initialization and authorization issues that one may need to take care of while using the solution."
"Technical support needs to determine priority level based on the cases rather than the support package bundle."
"The memory check needs to be improved, giving better visibility into the run-time memory."
"The features of Fortinet FortiClient could be improved."
"I would like to see endpoint detection and response included."
"The connectivity could be improved."
"When it comes to the support provided by the product, I see that Seqrite is not as mature as the other products in the market."
"The pricing could be a bit lower."
"The cost of the solution can be improved."
"The solution's integration capabilities are moderate and could be improved."
"We would like the solution to have integration with other security solutions so that we can have a single base for monitoring all the security incidents and concerns."
"It should be able to detect and report any ransomware attack but currently, it doesn't detect and it doesn't report any."
"The support offered by the tool is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"When we fire any employee connected remotely over the internet, we need a security feature that blocks the system and the device."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"FortiClient is costly."
"The product's licensing is yearly and expensive."
"Anyone can download this product for free, but you have to have a FortiGate gateway that you are connecting to."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"I don't have the licensing schema for the VPN solution because we just purchased the VPN gateway."
"Though I don't think that this is a cheaply priced product, I feel that it is an affordable solution."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"The solution has reasonable pricing. There is one pricing without any hidden charges. They have to pay once a year or three years."
"We pay approximately $1,500 for licenses for the solution."
"There is no option to refund the money and unfortunately, we bought a three-year license, seeing that Quick Heal is a long-established player in the market."
"I give the cost of the solution a seven out of ten."
"You need to pay for a yearly license for Seqrite Endpoint Security, which is expensive."
"As per the suggestions from one of the experts we know, it is advisable to make a proper comparison with the local vendors instead of solely relying on online prices, which are often higher and quite expensive."
