Users only need to install the VPN and authenticate with their email address
I primarily use remote VPN solutions to connect securely. We have configured both site-to-site VPN and remote VPN, and it is connected to FortiClient Implementing this solution has streamlined time management in our organization. Without SSO, we would need manual configuration for each PC, but…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The most valuable feature of Fortinet FortiClient is dual authentication and the VPN is secure."
"I find it very easy to configure and also very stable."
"Fortinet FortiClient provides several benefits such as saving time, saving money, and improving security."
"The integration with Active Directory is a valuable feature, allowing SSO for users."
"The VPN connection is the feature that I like the most."
"It is not at all interesting for me as a standalone product, but as a product that is integrated with FortiGate with all features, it is actually a great tool and a great experience. I had test installed FortiClient working from home. I remembered and knew which web categories were denied or allowed. All those policies were correctly reflected standalone, for example, on my laptop."
"The VPN has proven to be quite useful."
"The most valuable feature is the single pane of glass, single point of management."
"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."
"We found the DLP to be innovative and useful."
"Endpoint Security's best features are inventory, asset management, and quick scanning."
"The convenience has been great."
"The most valuable feature is its endpoint protection, particularly the antivirus component. It has been very effective in protecting our clients, and since its installation, we haven't encountered any issues with compromised endpoints or virus impacts."
"The most valuable part of the solution is its ransomware backup feature."
"The two valuable features are anti-ransomware and data loss protection."
 

Cons

"Fortinet frequently releases updates without thorough testing. We encounter issues due to multiple vulnerabilities, which leads to problems."
"The solution could improve by providing analytics or detailed reports."
"With Fortinet, some clients have to wait two to four days for a response. That is the biggest complaint from end customer about Fortinet's technical support."
"The pricing of the solution should be less expensive."
"Improvements are needed in the compatibility between different versions, as sometimes the latest version does not work, requiring a downgrade."
"We'd like to be able to properly encrypt the data more effectively."
"The connectivity could be improved."
"The features of Fortinet FortiClient could be improved."
"Deployment of Seqrite Endpoint Security is generally straightforward. The only complexity we encounter is that, since it is cloud-based, there can be delays in updating the endpoint's status."
"The interface is slow."
"It should be able to detect and report any ransomware attack but currently, it doesn't detect and it doesn't report any."
"The support offered by the tool is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"When we fire any employee connected remotely over the internet, we need a security feature that blocks the system and the device."
"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 solution's integration capabilities are moderate and could be improved."
"Endpoint Security would be improved by adding DLP."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"As a technical team member, I am not responsible to look into the pricing matters. These aspects are typically handled by the management team, who have the authority to obtain the necessary licenses based on certain established principles."
"The solution is not expensive. We need more discounted rates in Pakistan. The price of the solution could be reduced to be more affordable for the solution."
"The licensing fee varies with what one is trying to accomplish. It can range from being free to costing several hundred thousand dollars per year."
"The solution is more cost efficient than Cisco, as FortiGate tends not to charge for the client license, which allows one to make free use of whatever is supported on the device."
"I don't know it by heart, but it is comparable to other solutions. It is based on the number of clients. It is probably 50 Euros per year per client. It greatly depends on the number of clients you're handling because the more clients you are ordering it for, the cheaper it will be."
"Its pricing is good. One thing that has always attracted us to the Fortinet range of products is that their pricing is very competitive. Our particular licensing is on a yearly basis. However, as part of this project, we did pre-purchase three years of maintenance and support at a fairly significant discount."
"It is a yearly subscription license. I don't see a problem with the pricing. Resellers add their markup and then give it to us, but I don't see that as a major challenge. It is fine."
"It is not that expensive. It was within the range. A dollar per user per month is nothing."
"The license isn't expensive."
"Endpoint Security is cheaper than Trend Micro."
"We get the tool for around 1200 rupees for a three-year subscription. I rate its pricing a nine out of ten."
"It is a cheaply priced product."
"The licensing fee is 200 Bangladeshi Taka per client per year."
"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."
"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."
"The solution's pricing is good for us, where it is neither cheap nor expensive."
