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…

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

Pros

"It is a scalable product."
"The solution's most valuable feature is its integration capabilities. The processing is fast and the reporting is also very good."
"FortiClient is very easy, useful, and practical."
"From Forticlient, the EMS, the central management is easy to use."
"From an application perspective, this solution is stable."
"Implementing this solution has streamlined time management in our organization."
"EMS central reporting with fabric connectivity to FortiGate and FortiAnalyser is great and has seamless integration which makes managing 3000 devices a breeze."
"Fortinet FortiClient can be used with FortiManager to observe all actions that are happening."
"Seqrite Endpoint Security provides external protection in terms of hard drives."
"The only thing that I have found useful is that I have an overview of my systems in the networks."
"The convenience has been great."
"Seqrite Endpoint Security is a good solution."
"The most valuable features are the file activity monitors, DLP solutions, and application controls."
"The solution is stable."

Cons

"The solution could be more secure. I would like to see more safety features."
"Compatibility issues between different versions."
"Fortinet FortiClient should improve its visibility of the consumption of traffic and end-user action, which is very low."
"It would be extremely useful to have an automatic updating feature."
"FortiClient is not great in Linux."
"I would like to see endpoint detection and response included."
"More integration would be beneficial."
"The pricing of the solution should be less expensive."
"A handbook of known issues and quick fixes should be given so that troubleshooting and frustration are less."
"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."
"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."
"The solution could improve by providing better security and a cloud base version."
"The product or service could be improved by incorporating SIEM integrations to enable the collection of logs."
"User management could be improved."
"I don't feel that the scalability part of Seqrite Endpoint Security is better than the other products in the market."
"The solution needs to improve stability."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"If we pay for the yearly package that includes the FortiGate firewall, then the FortiClient VPN license is included with it."
"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 price of the solution depends on the type of firewall you have from FortiGate. I am satisfied with the price of the solution."
"The product's licensing is yearly and expensive."
"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 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."
"The cost per port is very less as compared to the other technologies."
"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."
