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.

An affordable tool that is easy to learn
The most valuable part of the solution is its ransomware backup feature. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Seqrite developed a feature that can help restore deleted data. If there is a ransomware attack, our company can restore the data as Seqrite keeps a copy in an encrypted and complex format. If there is any ransomware attack, our company can restore the data. If the data is deleted by any of the users in our company, and if we want to recover it, then it can be done through the process that the tool uses to restore data during a ransomware attack. There is a command through which users can recover the data from the laptop.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The EMS server gives us good control and central management."
"It supports securely connections for VPN users from outside our environment during the lockdown."
"The product's initial setup phase is easy."
"The solution's TNA feature blocks devices from entering the network that do not meet compliance protocols."
"It is very powerful."
"We mainly use this solution because we have many Fortinet solutions like antivirus and SSL assessment."
"We like its centralized administration, integration with Active Directory, deployment, and stability of the connection."
"FortiClient has good signatures, good protection and, up until recently, it integrated really well with our firewall."
"I like Seqrite's web protection features and external device control."
"The update process and policy control are good."
"Seqrite Endpoint Security is a good solution."
"The most valuable features of the solution are DLP, XDR, and EDR functionalities."
"We found the DLP to be innovative and useful."
"Seqrite Endpoint Security provides external protection in terms of hard drives."
"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."
"The convenience has been great."
 

Cons

"The solution should have faster turnaround when it comes to new technology."
"The endpoint side of FortiClient needs improvement, specifically the agent-based endpoint, which requires enhancements in detection and additional features to reduce bugs."
"Working with Distribution sometimes comes at a cost due to a lack of knowledge of the current status of your licensing and products."
"More integration would be beneficial."
"In the next release, I would like to see an additional layer of security added."
"There should be more frequent releases or updates."
"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."
"I think that FortiClient can enhance the multifactor authentication."
"User management could be improved."
"The cost of the solution can be improved."
"In the next version, they should improve the areas of utility and centralized control."
"The solution could integrate with other products to provide a comprehensive protection strategy."
"Deployment of Seqrite Endpoint Security is generally straightforward. The only complexity we encounter is that, since it is cloud-based, there can be delays in updating the endpoint's status."
"It should be able to detect and report any ransomware attack but currently, it doesn't detect and it doesn't report any."
"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 interface is slow."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the product's pricing a seven out of ten."
"If we pay for the yearly package that includes the FortiGate firewall, then the FortiClient VPN license is included with it."
"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."
"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 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."
"The cost per port is very less as compared to the other technologies."
"The product's licensing is yearly and expensive."
"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."
"It is a cheaply priced product."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"Licensing fees are on a yearly basis. Compared to other solutions, this solution is cheaper."
"The solution has reasonable pricing. There is one pricing without any hidden charges. They have to pay once a year or three years."
"The solution's pricing is good for us, where it is neither cheap nor expensive."
"My company needs to purchase a yearly subscription for the licensing costs for Seqrite Endpoint Security."
"We pay approximately $1,500 for licenses for the solution."
"We get the tool for around 1200 rupees for a three-year subscription. I rate its pricing a nine out of ten."
