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.

Responsive support, fair pricing, and good performance
It's going very well. We are happy with its capabilities. The performance is good overall. We like that we can change the connection if you don't like the speed, for example, is limited. You can find the right one to get the performance you require. It is easy to set up. It is stable. Technical support has been helpful and responsive. Pricing is fair. It was not too expensive.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution is easy to configure and manage."
"What I find valuable in FortiClient is its patch management capabilities, allowing remote updates efficiently."
"It works well with the Fortigate Firewall."
"FortiClient has good signatures, good protection and, up until recently, it integrated really well with our firewall."
"We use this to connect the data VPN from the remote office to the headquarters."
"It is completely user-friendly and less time-consuming, and users can improve their production time greatly."
"You can scale the product."
"The initial setup is very good."
"It is stable."
 

Cons

"I haven't found that the solution does anything amazing; there is nothing special about it."
"An area of improvement could be better integration with the active directory. I did not find it easy to configure."
"In terms of improvements, their SSL VPN tunnel can be a lot better."
"Fortinet FortiClient should improve its visibility of the consumption of traffic and end-user action, which is very low."
"Fortinet FortiClient could improve the connection because sometimes it drops."
"I would like for the next release to be more user-friendly for users who do not have as much of a technical background."
"The solution can improve by adding new remote console or endpoint features to make the solution easier to use."
"I think that FortiClient can enhance the multifactor authentication."
"The scalability could be a bit better."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"FortiClient is costly."
"If we pay for the yearly package that includes the FortiGate firewall, then the FortiClient VPN license is included with it."
"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."
"As a technical team member, I am not responsible to look into the pricing matters. These aspects are typically handled by the management team, who have the authority to obtain the necessary licenses based on certain established principles."
"The solution is not expensive. We need more discounted rates in Pakistan. The price of the solution could be reduced to be more affordable for the solution."
"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 price is reasonable compared to competitors, it is very good."
