Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The connection speed is fast. I can connect quickly at any time, and there are never any interruptions to the FortiClient connection. I could easily code into the client's server with that connection, with no lag."
"The most valuable features are malware detection, integrates well with other solutions, and ease of use for all users."
"EMS central reporting with fabric connectivity to FortiGate and FortiAnalyser is great and has seamless integration which makes managing 3000 devices a breeze."
"The product's initial setup phase is easy."
"FortiClient is very easy, useful, and practical."
"I find it very easy to configure and also very stable."
"It's pretty stable, and I don't have any problems with it."
"The most valuable feature of FortiClient is its high security level."
"The technical support team provides good services and faster response times."
 

Cons

"Working with Distribution sometimes comes at a cost due to a lack of knowledge of the current status of your licensing and products."
"There should be more frequent releases or updates."
"The solution's access control could be improved."
"An area of improvement could be better integration with the active directory. I did not find it easy to configure."
"They have an EDR feature for end protection detection and response, and this is actually with an add-on subscription, which is charged separately. What I would like to see is this included with the base cost."
"The cost of FortiClient could be better."
"Fortinet FortiClient should improve its visibility of the consumption of traffic and end-user action, which is very low."
"Fortinet frequently releases updates without thorough testing. We encounter issues due to multiple vulnerabilities, which leads to problems."
"The product's interface needs improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is reasonable."
"The solution's scalability is inexpensive."
"Licensing was free up to ten users and after that, it was pretty reasonable."
"It is not that expensive. It was within the range. A dollar per user per month is nothing."
"The price of the solution depends on the type of firewall you have from FortiGate. I am satisfied with the price of the solution."
"FortiClient is quite reasonably priced."
"If we pay for the yearly package that includes the FortiGate firewall, then the FortiClient VPN license is included with it."
"I rate the product's pricing a seven out of ten."
"The product has average pricing."
