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.

A stable solution that is easy to set up and offers high download speeds
The problem with the solution is that most of the time, it uses a certain IP address that does not change much. If I'm using a different country, like Germany, it still uses the same IP address, and the downside is that this doesn't work well with services like Netflix because Netflix realizes that I'm using a VPN.

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 powerful."
"I would recommend this solution to others because it is very good."
"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."
"I use the tool to connect server to an ISP Data Center."
"From Forticlient, the EMS, the central management is easy to use."
"The solution is easy to configure and manage."
"I strongly recommend this solution, especially for Fortinet customers who use FortiGate or other Fortinet products, as they can easily integrate these features and exchange information seamlessly."
"The solution has helped increase staff productivity by approximately 15 percent."
"l like the high download speed of the solution. Of course, it depends on which country you're using, but most countries are fast, and the solution doesn't limit your internet speed very much."
 

Cons

"There is lagging in some of the authentication tools to support the newer versions, this is happening because they are not supported."
"It just needs to stay more up to date in catching the malware."
"One challenge we faced was with the installation."
"Compatibility issues between different versions."
"Working with Distribution sometimes comes at a cost due to a lack of knowledge of the current status of your licensing and products."
"I heard that Fortinet is going to enhance the firmware to have mobile versions. One is like Linux long-term support SCS and one with new features, but there is no support here. We spoke with the vendor multiple times, and they said that they will release these features soon."
"In terms of improvements, their SSL VPN tunnel can be a lot better."
"We've had some problems with having to remove the current version and either reinstalling an old version or updating to the new one."
"The problem with the solution is that most of the time, it uses a certain IP address that does not change much. If I'm using a different country, like Germany, it still uses the same IP address, and the downside is that this doesn't work well with services like Netflix because Netflix realizes that I'm using a VPN."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is a six out of ten."
"The solution's scalability is inexpensive."
"Pricing is an area that I would like to see improved, as it could be lower."
"Anyone can download this product for free, but you have to have a FortiGate gateway that you are connecting to."
"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."
"The cost per port is very less as compared to the other technologies."
"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 pricing is good because you get and end-to-end security solution in one package price."
"My licensing cost is about 80 euros a year, which I find very reasonable because I can use the solution on up to three devices and share it with other people."
