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

"The return on investment was very reasonable. It was low cost and it functioned, so the return on investment was excellent."
"It seems to be more scalable than we thought."
"The most valuable feature of FortiClient is its user-friendly interface that allows easy navigation and access to all endpoint devices."
"The Fortinet FortiClient is simple to use."
"There is a lot of documentation available online."
"It is a feature-rich product that is easy to use and install without sacrificing security."
"Installation was easy."
"You can scale the product."
"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 convenience has been great."
"Seqrite Endpoint Security is a good solution."
"The update process and policy control are good."
"The most valuable part of the solution is its ransomware backup feature."
"The overall performance of the server and the dashboard are the most interesting aspects of the solution."
"The solution is stable."
"The product's initial setup phase is easy."
 

Cons

"There is lagging in some of the authentication tools to support the newer versions, this is happening because they are not supported."
"The solution has some issues with stability on the user side."
"The solution can improve by adding new remote console or endpoint features to make the solution easier to use."
"One area that could be improved is cost, but you've got to pay for what you get."
"We would like Fortinet to add the function or the possibility to use all FortiClient features for free."
"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 features of Fortinet FortiClient could be improved."
"The cost of FortiClient could be better."
"In the next version, they should improve the areas of utility and centralized control."
"When it comes to the support provided by the product, I see that Seqrite is not as mature as the other products in the market."
"The cost of the solution can be improved."
"Deployment of Seqrite Endpoint Security is generally straightforward. The only complexity we encounter is that, since it is cloud-based, there can be delays in updating the endpoint's status."
"When we fire any employee connected remotely over the internet, we need a security feature that blocks the system and the device."
"User management could be improved."
"We are using Apple devices, and the advanced device control service doesn't work for M1 chips devices, like Apple MacBooks."
"I would like to see Seqrite add a remote profile so we can implement different policies for users connecting to the in-office LAN and those accessing the office network from home or a public internet connection."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is good because you get and end-to-end security solution in one package price."
"The pricing is a six out of ten."
"An annual license costs about 1.5 to 3,000 US dollars. There are no additional costs."
"Pricing is an area that I would like to see improved, as it could be lower."
"I don't have the licensing schema for the VPN solution because we just purchased the VPN gateway."
"If we pay for the yearly package that includes the FortiGate firewall, then the FortiClient VPN license is included with it."
"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."
"As per the suggestions from one of the experts we know, it is advisable to make a proper comparison with the local vendors instead of solely relying on online prices, which are often higher and quite expensive."

"The license isn't expensive."
