Fortinet FortiClient Reviews

We use this to connect the data VPN from the remote office to the headquarters.

This solution is deployed on-prem.

We have 20-30 users, and we plan on increasing usage.

It works well and the performance is good.

The solution could be more secure. I would like to see more safety features. They could integrate access scanning from the VPN account. We have servers integrated with our firewall. When we changed the firewall, we needed to change the VPN.

I have been using this solution for a year.

It's stable.

It's scalable.

Installation is standard. You can do the installation in-house. Deployment takes about five minutes.

You need a technical team of two or three engineers for installation.

I would rate this solution 8 out of 10.

I would recommend this solution for people who want to start using it.

This solution allows developers and programmers to connect endpoint users with security.

This solution is very stable.

I would like for the next release to be more user-friendly for users to do not have as much of a technical background.

I have been using FortiClient for two years.

This solution is stable, I have not had any problems with it.

This solution is scalable, we currently have fifty eight users.

FortiClient was very easy to install and took about five minutes in total.

I use Fortinet FortiClient for a VPN, endpoint protection, and remote access services.

Overall Fortinet FortiClient has good functionality.

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. 

I have been using Fortinet FortiClient for approximately two years.

The solution is stable.

I have found Fortinet FortiClient to be scalable.

After everything was implemented, we did not use technical support. We have not needed the support.

The setup takes someone with more experience than I have a while, I imagine it is difficult.

My advice to those wanting to implement this solution is they have to build the infrastructure for Fortinet rather than only do the endpoint by itself. Use the other Fortinet offerings together if you want to benefit the most.

I rate Fortinet FortiClient a nine out of ten.

We primarily use Fortinet FortiClient for their VPN, which provides us with a secure connection and allows people to work from home.

The ability to reroute traffic from the user, connecting you to the internet rather than passing through our network area, is very useful. It also reduces the amount of traffic that we use here. When they connect to the internet, they go directly there.

It would be extremely useful to have an automatic updating feature.

I have been using Fortinet FortiClient for two years.

We are using version 6.4.

Fortinet FortiClient is very stable.

We are not a large company which made it easy install to everyone. It was easy to scale. 

I have not contacted technical support, and I do not believe there has ever been a discussion about technical support.

The initial setup is straightforward. it was quite simple.

It's a good online solution.

We are using it less now that we're almost back in the office. I don't think there was anything we missed while using it.

It's a very good product, I would rate Fortinet FortiClient a nine out of ten.

We supply FortiClient to our customers. In Croatian terms, we supply mid-size companies although in European terms they are probably relatively small organizations. We are partners with Fortinet and I'm the pre-sales manager. 

We use the basic features and they work well. Our customers are generally looking for a solution that works well and they get it with FortiClient. 

The documentation of this product could be improved. 

I've been using this solution for three years. 

The solution is stable, we currently have about 100 people using it. 

We previously worked with Cisco AnyConnect and before that, with Microsoft, all the PPTP. But that was a long time ago. 

The initial setup was straightforward. 

If you ask our customers, they would always want the price to be lower, but I think it's reasonable.

As with every significant installation, you have to plan well and be aware of your needs. A part of that is checking which features are supported and which are not supported.

I rate the solution nine out of 10. 

I'm a system integrator. We're primarily a Cisco shop, but we've been diversifying in recent years.

What I like most about FortiClient is that it's easy to use. The way it displays information is very straightforward. 

I'd like the ability to specify when EMS is controlling the client and when it's not because you would have a lot more options were it not for the client. As it stands, you need to edit the XML file on EMS to get those options. 

I also think Fortinet could improve the VPN. It's good, but Cisco AnyConnect is a bit better. Fortinet could add split tunneling for the routes, like AnyConnect. Currently, you have to go into the command prompt and then print the route. So someone who's not that knowledgeable of the product will not know how to do it. Fortinet could maybe include some more next-gen AV stuff, but I think that's going to be integrated into the new packages we've got. 

I've been using FortiClient for more than a year now.

I don't think FortiClient is bad, but it's very buggy. We ran into some issues with the EMS, which amounted to more than 10 cases last year. It would bug out while auto-upgrading on this specific version. So, that would be an obvious thing. And bug tracking is bad. FortiClient gives you an internal message that says the bug has been reported, but I cannot find it anywhere online. 

Tech support is one of FortiClient's worst areas. Fortinet's firewall support was much faster and better, I would say. Support for FortiClient isn't bad per se, but it takes you a long time for your ticket to get answered and escalated to a higher level of support, like an actual engineer. Unfortunately, FortiClient's support is based on the West Coast of the United States, so that means that I'm going to get a ticket reply at maybe 4:00 a.m. and then have to wait another day.

Setting up Fortinet was quite easy. I would say it took around two hours.

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.

I would give it eight out of 10 with the VPN. Without the VPN, I would maybe rate it a seven. One of the main selling points is that it integrates all that stuff together.

We are mainly using Fortinet FortiClient as a VPN solution and secure access in a single, modular lightweight clien.

The use of IoT devices is growing and it is important to manage data assets. We have to follow rules and standards from our organization that FortiClient has been helped with, it is an important tool on the end-users systems.

Fortinet FortiClient can be used with Report to the Security Fabric on the status of a device, including applications running and firmware version. It also send suspicious activities to Our Fortinet Security Fabric 

The solution could improve by providing analytics or more detailed reports.

I have been using Fortinet FortiClient for approximately five years.

Fortinet FortiClient is stable.

The solution is scalable.

We have five endpoints that are using the solution.

Fortinet FortiClient is easy to install for end users.

We only needed one engineer that does the implementation and maintenance of the solution.

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.

I have evaluated other solutions, such as ZTNA Zero-Trust Network Access.

I rate Fortinet FortiClient a ten out of ten.

We are using the latest version.

We use the net UTM feature, which synchronizes with our office UTM and allows us to block URLs. It allows us to block the USP. 

It would be nice to see more in hand features in terms of the DLP, so that the solution can be integrated with the DLP, as well as more reporting features on the end point. 

We have been using Fortinet FortiClient for the past three to four months.

The solution is quite stable.

The solution is quite scalable. 

Installation was easy.
