Stable, scalable, and good functionality
Pros and Cons
  • "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."

What is our primary use case?

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

What is most valuable?

Overall Fortinet FortiClient has good functionality.

What needs improvement?

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. 

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Fortinet FortiClient for approximately two years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The solution is stable.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

I have found Fortinet FortiClient to be scalable.

How are customer service and support?

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

How was the initial setup?

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

What other advice do I have?

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.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

On-premises
