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

"It is very simple to use. I've used some of the others in the past, such as Cisco AnyConnect, which was a nightmare. I've used a couple of others, but FortiClient is very simple to use."
"The solution is very scalable. It just depends on the number of licenses an organization has. The enterprise management console is related to the number of clients, and the client interface itself is free to download."
"The VPN connection is the feature that I like the most."
"The stability is pretty good."
"The most valuable features of Fortinet FortiClient are ease of use and simple configuration."
"The integration of VPN services with endpoint security is valuable."
"The most valuable feature of FortiClient is its user-friendly interface that allows easy navigation and access to all endpoint devices."
"FortiClient is a very reliable partner, as it has ticked all the checkboxes for our organization's requirements."
"The solution is centrally managed, easy to configure, and easy to use."
"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 features are the file activity monitors, DLP solutions, and application controls."
"The most valuable features of the solution are DLP, XDR, and EDR functionalities."
"We found the DLP to be innovative and useful."
"The solution is stable."
"There are many features available in this solution, such as asset management."
"The most valuable part of the solution is its ransomware backup feature."
 

Cons

"The endpoint side of FortiClient needs improvement, specifically the agent-based endpoint, which requires enhancements in detection and additional features to reduce bugs."
"The initial setup was probably more complex. The configuration was somewhat unclear."
"The solution could improve by providing analytics or detailed reports."
"I haven't found that that solution does anything amazing."
"Compatibility issues between different versions."
"Sometimes users stay on the old version of FortiClient."
"It would be interesting if the solution offered a way to try to investigate and create a use case to trace vectors."
"Sometimes users stay on the old version of FortiClient. When new releases are not compatible, I need to reinstall newer versions, which can be problematic."
"We are using Apple devices, and the advanced device control service doesn't work for M1 chips devices, like Apple MacBooks."
"The cost of the solution can be improved."
"We would like the solution to have integration with other security solutions so that we can have a single base for monitoring all the security incidents and concerns."
"The solution's integration capabilities are moderate and could be improved."
"The pricing could be a bit lower."
"When we fire any employee connected remotely over the internet, we need a security feature that blocks the system and the device."
"A handbook of known issues and quick fixes should be given so that troubleshooting and frustration are less."
"The interface is slow."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is not that expensive. It was within the range. A dollar per user per month is nothing."
"We are using the free version of this product."
"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."
"The product's licensing is yearly and expensive."
"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."
"An annual license costs about 1.5 to 3,000 US dollars. There are no additional costs."
"The pricing is a six out of ten."
"My company needs to purchase a yearly subscription for the licensing costs for Seqrite Endpoint Security."
"The license isn't expensive."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"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."
"I give the cost of the solution a seven out of ten."
"The licensing fee is 200 Bangladeshi Taka per client per year."
"Endpoint Security is cheaper than Trend Micro."
"You need to pay for a yearly license for Seqrite Endpoint Security, which is expensive."
