Fortinet FortiClient Reviews

I need the FortiClient to connect to the remote sites as I'm a network engineer. With FortiClient, I'm setting the network devices on the remote sites.

In general, it's only used for VPN. I don't use all the functionality and features of FortiClient. I know that it has more features such as endpoint control and secure endpoint modules, however, if anything, I'm using the VPN module only.

In my opinion, it's easy to use. It's got a very friendly user interface. The GUI is great. I can see my actual list of VPN connections. There's a feature to save the login password to set the type of the VPN (like IPsec VPN, SSL VPN, and so on). It's enough for me in terms of features.

It is stable. 

We would like Fortinet to add the function or the possibility to use all FortiClient features for free.

It has enough features in general for our usage requirements. It doesn't need anything more. 

I've used the solution for more than two years.

The solution is stable and reliable. I would rate it a five out of five. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash. It doesn't freeze. 

We don't need to scale the solution. 

In my company, we have other network engineers who also are connecting to the remote site using the FortiClient VPN. There are three people using it directly.

We've never explored increasing usage. 

I've only connected with local Fortinet engineers. I haven't directly reached out to Fortinet's engineers at its central location. We don't really ask for or need assistance.

I've previously used Palo Alto.

Two people participated in the deployment and three people handle any daily work and maintenance. 

We are network engineers and found the process to be very simple and straightforward. 

I can't recall how long it took to have everything set up and deployed. It wasn't that long. 

We handled the deployment ourselves. 

All of us are very skilled in deploying. Some of us also have the certificate for NSE 4.

Our company isn't planning to buy the full version as it's not needed now.

We are resellers of Fortinet products. However, we've only resold FortiGate products, not FortiClient. 

The FortiClient VPN is deployed on the machines in Windows. I'm not sure which version we're using. 

I'd rate the solution ten out of ten. So far, everything has been good. It's a great way to connect remotely; people should use it for that. I'd recommend people use it. 

We use the solution internally when we need to access something on the network and we are not at the office.

As far as I can tell, the solution only has one single function, so they could expand its functionality.

My company has been using FortiClient for the last few years. 

The solution is very stable. 

There are currently about 800-900 employees using this solution at my company. 

Previously we just used a normal built-in Windows Defender and McAfee, but we don't use them anymore.

The setup for FortiClient is really straightforward. 

We implemented it in-house and it only took a few minutes. 

The product works fine and I have never had any problems with it. 

I would rate this solution as an eight out of ten.

I use Fortinet FortiClient to protect my connection to my company. It is a VPN.

The most valuable features of Fortinet FortiClient are ease of use and simple configuration.

Fortinet FortiClient could improve the connection because sometimes it drops.

I have been using Fortinet FortiClient for approximately one year.

Fortinet FortiClient could improve the stability.

We have approximately 800 people using Fortinet FrotiClient in my company.

I have not used the support from Fortinet FortiClient.

I previously used Pulse Connect Secure and it was more stable than Fortinet FortiClient.

I rate Fortinet FortiClient a seven out of ten.

I use FortiClient to connect my home office to the company.

FortiClient's most valuable features are that it's fast and safe.

We've had some problems with having to remove the current version and either reinstalling an old version or updating to the new one.

I've been using Fortinet FortiClient for four to five years.

Previously, I used Check Point but switched to FortiClient as it's much cheaper.

The initial setup was easy.

I would give FortiClient a rating of nine out of ten.

We primarily use FortiClient for our VPN access.

We were on the free version before, then transitioned to the EMS server. Now that we transitioned to that, it's been extremely helpful.

The EMS server gives us good control and central management. The product is easy to use. Integration with VeloCloud allows immediate deployment, rather than having to wait six months for a piece of hardware. 

The reports could be easier to set up.

We've used it for five or six years.

The solution has been stable. It's been good.

Yes, it's scalable.

I had to call them to figure out how I was going to transition from the old unmanaged client, and we had to push out the new managed client. I reached out to them about how we were going to attack that, and they were good. Their engineers really know their product well.

Positive

The initial setup was straightforward.

We have a network engineer, so he's the one who deals with Fortinet.

I would rate Fortinet FortiClient an eight out of ten. It's so easy to use. I just wish the reports were a little easier to use.

We are going through a growth spurt, buying up many little offices. FortiClient integrated with VeloCloud allows us to convert them fast, and that's our end game.

We primarily use the solution for remote access.

It's very easy to use. It's nice and much easier to use than other solutions we've seen in action.

The initial setup is simple.

It is a scalable product.

The stability is great.

The EDR feature to be included in the basic license.

The stability is good. We have never experienced an outage.

I have seen it working before COVID and during COVID. It has scaled up quite easily. There's no problem with expanding it.

Right now, I'm in a small company and there are 50 users. Previously, a year ago, I was in a bigger organization with 300 users that were using FortiClient.

I haven't had any incident or any interaction with the technical support service.

I've used other solutions in the past. One main difference is it is light, so it consumes minimum resources. The user does not understand the difference in the performance of the endpoint of the laptop or the PC. 

It's easy to implement. I'd rate it at a five out of five in terms of ease of execution.

We handle the implementations in-house. We do not need any integrators or consultants to assist us. 

I would rate the solution at a nine out of ten.

We have more than 1200 users.

The connection speed is fast. I can connect quickly at any time, and there are never any interruptions to the FortiClient connection. I could easily code into the client's server with that connection, with no lag.

I would like Fortinet to improve FortiClient's compatibility with macOS.

I've used FortiClient for more than a year. 

FortiClient is stable. 

The setup was managed by the infrastructure team. They just sent me a laptop with FortiClient already installed. 

I rate FortiNet FortiClient eight out of 10.

We are using it for our web filtering and VPN needs. We are one version behind the latest one. 

It was deployed on-prem, but we moved it to the cloud. It is a public cloud provided by Fortinet.

It is a fantastic product. Its overall security is valuable. We are very impressed with the web filtering and the application firewall it provides. 

The software inventory part is not yet up-to-date. It doesn't have a great interface, which is a disadvantage. I wish we could leverage it, but we don't use it at all because it's not that reliable.

We deployed it about a year back, and I use it pretty much every day.

We haven't seen any downtime since we deployed it about a year back. It has been pretty good.

We have deployed it across all employee laptops. We have approximately 1,500 users. 

It was easy to scale. We got merged with another company, and it was easily scalable.

Their support is good.

We used Cisco AnyConnect. Because we had FortiGate on the other side, we decided to go with Fortinet.

It was straightforward. 

I did it myself. Their support was also good.

It is not that expensive. It was within the range. A dollar per user per month is nothing.

It definitely fulfills the purpose. It does a lot of things. I'm specifically using it for web filtering and VPN, but it also has other features. The zero-trust network feature is one of them. I haven't yet tried their zero network policies, and that's something that I'm now looking into. They claim to have fantastic features there, and that's the next one for me to try.

They also have an antivirus, but because we already have a Microsoft one, I just didn't give it a try. It is a part of the huge list of its benefits.

I would rate it a nine out of 10.
