Fortinet FortiClient Reviews

The integration of VPN services with endpoint security is valuable. Web filtering and application control are also valuable.

The features for application control and device control must be improved.

We are a reseller, and we have been working with this solution for three years.

I would rate it an eight out of ten.

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.

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.

This solution is used both in our company and with our clients.

The VPN connection is the feature that I like the most.

It's a stable solution. I have not had any issues with stability.

This is an area that I do not have a lot of experience with based on our clients it has not been a requirement.

We have 30 people in our company who are using this solution.

Our client's companies are small.

I have not contacted technical support. Everything as been working efficiently.

Previously, we worked with OpenVPN and Palo Alto.

We switched to Fortinet FortiClient because of the advantage that the free VPN connection device. It has helped us with implementation. It adds value to the solution.

The initial setup was straightforward. It was easy to implement.

I completed the installation and deployment myself. It took approximately 15 minutes.

Pricing is an area that I would like to see improved, as it could be lower.

They offer bundles for one year, two years, or five years. The one year bundle works for me.

I would recommend that you have good preparation, and look into Fortinet Cookbook. You will have much more.

I would rate Fortinet FortiClient a ten out of ten.

We use this solution with our firewall.

We have a hybrid-cloud deployment.

FortiClient is not communicating with the new version of the firewall.

This is a stable solution, although I get disconnected sometimes.

The initial setup of this solution is easy.

I took care of the deployment myself.

This is a solution that I recommend.

While there are some issues that need to be fixed, they are minor.

I would rate this solution a ten out of ten.

We use the on-prem deployment model of this solution. Our primary use case is for the customer side and to connect some external sites to our customer.

The most valuable feature is that it's easy to deploy. Deployment, configuration, and troubleshooting are very easy. 

My customers say they need a consultation to fully integrate services. This needs improvement. I would like to see better integration. 

The price could also use improvement. 

In the next release, some of our clients said that while they can select different customers, they get confused and they would like to also see the logo of the company. The name is written but they want to see the logo as well. 

In previous versions there were some bugs but from 5.6 onwards, it's been good and we've had no issues.

Scalability is very good. It's easy to expand the platform and add users. In my company, we have more than 100 users. 

We only require one staff member for deployment and maintenance. 

Technical support will open cases if there is an issue.

We also Cisco and Sophos solutions as well. 

The initial setup is very straightforward. The deployment took around 15 minutes. 

I deployed it myself. 

We also looked at FortiGate. 

I would rate it a nine out of ten. Not a ten because nothing is perfect. 

The primary use case is VPN.

Being able to work from outside the office, it has given us the ability to remotely access information securely.

Remote connectivity is its most valuable feature.

I would like simplicity in the being able to configure the software to use it without a lot of effort.

It's highly stable.

The scalability is limited.

The technical support has been good and helpful.

We were previously using Cisco. We switched because we switched the hardware.

We chose this solution because it is part of a bigger product solution and it has flexibility.

The initial setup was probably more complex. The configuration was somewhat unclear.

We used a reseller for the deployment, who was good.

The solution has helped increase staff productivity by approximately 15 percent.

It has improved our security posture by having this additional product.

Be open to what is out there. This particular solution is good, but there are other solutions out there that may make more sense for what you are trying to achieve.

I'm using Fortinet FortiClient to connect to servers on my company while working remotely from home. Additionally, I use it to connect to cloud applications and cloud servers. It's my company's gateway.

The most valuable feature of Fortinet FortiClient is its performance.

Fortinet FortiClient could improve the compatibility with mobile applications that are allowed and sometimes they do not respond. However, Microsoft Windows applications are very good.

I have been using Fortinet FortiClient for approximately four years.

Fortinet FortiClient is stable.

We have approximately 4,000 technology employees using this solution.
