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…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"This solution is very stable."
"FortiClient's most valuable features are that it's fast and safe."
"The most valuable features of FortiClient are its VPN capabilities and its use as an anti-malware and anti-spam solution."
"There is a lot of documentation available online."
"The initial setup is easy."
"The most valuable feature is that it's easy to deploy. Deployment, configuration, and troubleshooting are very easy."
"I think the solution is highly scalable."
"We mainly use this solution because we have many Fortinet solutions like antivirus and SSL assessment."
"The update process and policy control are good."
"The most valuable part of the solution is its ransomware backup feature."
"The solution's current features include antivirus, web filtering, file activity monitoring, PAM, firewall, IDS/IPS, and DLP. Though I'm not familiar with the whole solution, it is good."
"The solution is centrally managed, easy to configure, and easy to use."
"The solution effectively detects malicious files and blocks sign-ins."
"Seqrite Endpoint Security is a good solution."
"The convenience has been great."
"The most valuable feature is its endpoint protection, particularly the antivirus component. It has been very effective in protecting our clients, and since its installation, we haven't encountered any issues with compromised endpoints or virus impacts."
 

Cons

"One area that could be improved is cost, but you've got to pay for what you get."
"Its stability can be improved. It is not as reliable as I would like it to be. There are times when things don't work quite right. Our biggest pain point is not related to Fortinet FortiClient and the whole scheme of things. It is related to one of the additional services called FortiGuard. They are the arm that does all of the updates to definitions, keeps all the signatures updated, and responds to new threats and whatnot. What we have found is that they react quickly, but sometimes their solutions aren't compatible with all of the components of the Fortinet security suite, specifically around FortiSandbox."
"The user interface could be more inviting."
"The software inventory part is not yet up-to-date. It doesn't have a great interface, which is a disadvantage. I wish we could leverage it, but we don't use it at all because it's not that reliable."
"The tool becomes slow occasionally, and this should be improved."
"While I cannot think of new features to add, it would be nice if the reports were improved, to have these sent automatically."
"The support can be improved. They have room to improve by deploying more support resources."
"The current version of this solution does not show the malicious websites that have been visited. They should add this to an upcoming release."
"The solution could integrate with other products to provide a comprehensive protection strategy."
"User management could be improved."
"It should be able to detect and report any ransomware attack but currently, it doesn't detect and it doesn't report any."
"The solution could improve by providing better security and a cloud base version."
"The solution's integration capabilities are moderate and could be improved."
"Endpoint Security would be improved by adding DLP."
"We are using Apple devices, and the advanced device control service doesn't work for M1 chips devices, like Apple MacBooks."
"The cost of the solution can be improved."
 

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."
"I rate the product's pricing a seven out of ten."
"An annual license costs about 1.5 to 3,000 US dollars. There are no additional costs."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"The pricing is a six out of ten."
"The price is reasonable compared to competitors, it is very good."
"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."
"Licensing was free up to ten users and after that, it was pretty reasonable."
"The licensing fee is 200 Bangladeshi Taka per client per year."
"There is no option to refund the money and unfortunately, we bought a three-year license, seeing that Quick Heal is a long-established player in the market."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"I give the cost of the solution a seven out of ten."
"The solution's pricing is good for us, where it is neither cheap nor expensive."
"The solution has reasonable pricing. There is one pricing without any hidden charges. They have to pay once a year or three years."
"Though I don't think that this is a cheaply priced product, I feel that it is an affordable solution."
"Endpoint Security is cheaper than Trend Micro."
