MuhammadJahangir - PeerSpot reviewer
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…
Thomas Van Der Wel - PeerSpot reviewer
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 has a very easy-to-use interface. It has ease of management, and all the modules are there. SKUs are also easily identifiable. Whatever is required in the firewall is already there in it. It's very advanced, and analytics reporting is very good. They also have cloud reporting. You get all the services that are available for your device in the cloud. You just have to subscribe. It's very easy. There's a lot of demand for this solution because it's an all-in-one solution. The throughput is very high."
"The most valuable feature of FortiClient is its user-friendly interface that allows easy navigation and access to all endpoint devices."
"The most valuable features of Fortinet FortiClient are ease of use and simple configuration."
"The EMS server gives us good control and central management."
"FortiClient has good signatures, good protection and, up until recently, it integrated really well with our firewall."
"FortiClient is a very reliable partner, as it has ticked all the checkboxes for our organization's requirements."
"It’s really easy to use."
"The initial setup is very good."
"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

"I think that FortiClient can enhance the multifactor authentication."
"Sometimes there are issues when we are trying to connect."
"When we change our endpoint, we have to connect again, which means having to enter our credentials and permissions."
"In the next release, I would like to see an additional layer of security added."
"There isn't much to improve in terms of features and comparison with other vendors. It just needs to stay more up to date in catching the malware. The user interface may be improved, which would be a minor enhancement. Unlike central management, in endpoint security, the end users don't need to keep looking at the endpoint user interface. The technology is the most important thing in endpoint security."
"FortiClient needs improvement in restricting user information and ensuring more secure customer data to better protect source code and reduce the risk of security breaches."
"The features for application control and device control must be improved."
"I would like to see improvements in the dashboard for better reporting."
"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

"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."
"Pricing is an area that I would like to see improved, as it could be lower."
"The product's licensing is yearly and expensive."
"It is not that expensive. It was within the range. A dollar per user per month is nothing."
"I rate the product's pricing a seven out of ten."
"Generally, Fortinet is not cheap. The features that are available for free are only for FortiClient VPN clients, not other solutions. It includes web security, antivirus, and one more feature."
"The pricing is good because you get and end-to-end security solution in one package price."
"The cost per port is very less as compared to the other technologies."
"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."
