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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"With FortiClient we can control the devices which are not in the office."
"The solution's most valuable feature is its integration capabilities. The processing is fast and the reporting is also very good."
"I would recommend this solution to others because it is easy to use and it detects threats well."
"Implementing this solution has streamlined time management in our organization."
"We use real-time threat detection for scanning files and antivirus. It's integrated with Fortinet FortiAnalyzer. When an endpoint is compromised, Fortinet FortiClient and FortiGate trigger to block and isolate the user on the network."
"The integration of VPN services with endpoint security is valuable."
"It works well and the performance is good."
"The solution's TNA feature blocks devices from entering the network that do not meet compliance protocols."
"The technical support team provides good services and faster response times."
 

Cons

"The features for application control and device control must be improved."
"Initially, the support was very poor. It is getting better, but they should continue to improve this."
"Fortinet needs to cover more areas where threats can come from."
"Sometimes users stay on the old version of FortiClient."
"I am troubleshooting some errors that I have had with the VPN and they are difficult to resolve."
"In terms of improvements, their SSL VPN tunnel can be a lot better."
"The solution could add data to the endpoint."
"Occasionally, the solution may provide a slow connection. In addition, there may be initialization and authorization issues that one may need to take care of while using the solution."
"The product's interface needs improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of the solution depends on the type of firewall you have from FortiGate. I am satisfied with the price of the solution."
"Licensing was free up to ten users and after that, it was pretty reasonable."
"We are using the free version of this product."
"The price is okay and competitive."
"The pricing is good because you get and end-to-end security solution in one package price."
"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 licensing fee varies with what one is trying to accomplish. It can range from being free to costing several hundred thousand dollars per year."
"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 has average pricing."
