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

"FortiClient benefits us by allowing control over internal and external users of the Fortinet network."
"Installation was easy."
"The product's initial setup phase is easy."
"The most valuable feature of FortiClient is its user-friendly interface that allows easy navigation and access to all endpoint devices."
"The most valuable feature of Fortinet FortiClient is dual authentication and the VPN is secure."
"Remote connectivity is its most valuable feature."
"FortiClient is a very reliable partner, as it has ticked all the checkboxes for our organization's requirements."
"There is a lot of documentation available online."
"The only thing that I have found useful is that I have an overview of my systems in the networks."
"The update process and policy control are good."
"The solution effectively detects malicious files and blocks sign-ins."
"Seqrite Endpoint Security is a good solution."
"The solution's current features include antivirus, web filtering, file activity monitoring, PAM, firewall, IDS/IPS, and DLP. Though I'm not familiar with the whole solution, it is good."
"The overall performance of the server and the dashboard are the most interesting aspects of the solution."
"The convenience has been great."
"The setup process was easy for our remote clients and us as well."
 

Cons

"The solution has some issues with stability on the user side."
"The connectivity could be improved."
"There should be more frequent releases or updates."
"In terms of improvements, their SSL VPN tunnel can be a lot better. I've seen other products that have got much better VPN features than Fortinet. Some of my colleagues get this error called "License not available." When they get this error, they have to uninstall and reinstall it. This kind of problem is there, and sometimes, we have to open a case with Fortinet to resolve it. Their support is quick, so we are able to resolve and move forward. In terms of new features, when it is connecting, it should check the endpoint and say whether the end client is actually safe enough or whether there is a vulnerability. It should give a pop-up on the client itself. Because I'm on the admin side, I can also see this information in the log. However, if a non-IT user, such as a user from finance, is working on this and there is some problem, he or she would not know about this and would call IT admin to say that this is not working. If the users get a message explaining why and what is happening, it is easy for them to understand."
"Working with Distribution sometimes comes at a cost due to a lack of knowledge of the current status of your licensing and products."
"One area for improvement in FortiClient is the speed of connectivity."
"FortiClient's encryption key could be stronger so that it's not broken too easily."
"I think that FortiClient can enhance the multifactor authentication."
"User management could be improved."
"A handbook of known issues and quick fixes should be given so that troubleshooting and frustration are less."
"I don't feel that the scalability part of Seqrite Endpoint Security is better than the other products in the market."
"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."
"We are using Apple devices, and the advanced device control service doesn't work for M1 chips devices, like Apple MacBooks."
"The solution could integrate with other products to provide a comprehensive protection strategy."
"Sometimes, small and medium businesses, or even startups with just five, ten, or fifteen systems, are also keen to secure their data. There is a reluctance on the part of the technical team to extend installation support when the opportunity sizes are smaller. Seqrite Endpoint Security has a lot of value. Still, its marketing could be done much better on a larger scale, especially in India, in light of the new DPDP 2023 Act, which the Indian Parliament passed. It would be even more valuable if Seqrite could incorporate features to help companies comply with this law, it would be even more helpful."
"The support offered by the tool is an area of concern where improvements are required."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Licensing was free up to ten users and after that, it was pretty reasonable."
"I rate the product's pricing a seven out of ten."
"The product's licensing is yearly and expensive."
"An annual license costs about 1.5 to 3,000 US dollars. There are no additional costs."
"FortiClient is quite reasonably priced."
"Fortinet FortiClient comes free with the purchase of the FortiGate solution. There is a license required for this solution. You later can upgrade from the free version which will allow more endpoints. The cost of the license subscription is based on how many endpoints you require."
"The pricing is a six out of ten."
"Fortinet requires you to buy a lot of product in order for you to have proper protection."
"As per the suggestions from one of the experts we know, it is advisable to make a proper comparison with the local vendors instead of solely relying on online prices, which are often higher and quite expensive."
"The licensing fee is 200 Bangladeshi Taka per client per year."
"The solution has reasonable pricing. There is one pricing without any hidden charges. They have to pay once a year or three years."
"My company needs to purchase a yearly subscription for the licensing costs for Seqrite Endpoint Security."
"You need to pay for a yearly license for Seqrite Endpoint Security, which is expensive."
"The solution's pricing is good for us, where it is neither cheap nor expensive."
"There is no option to refund the money and unfortunately, we bought a three-year license, seeing that Quick Heal is a long-established player in the market."
"We pay approximately $1,500 for licenses for the solution."
