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…

Reduces the time to detect and respond with moderate pricing
The centralized control feature is excellent. It provides a user-friendly interface for managing items and active endpoints, making it easy for central managers to control the network. I recommend it, but we need some documentation or a presentation from Seqrite. Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"EMS central reporting with fabric connectivity to FortiGate and FortiAnalyser is great and has seamless integration which makes managing 3000 devices a breeze."
"The return on investment was very reasonable. It was low cost and it functioned, so the return on investment was excellent."
"The stability is pretty good."
"The VPN has proven to be quite useful."
"The solution's TNA feature blocks devices from entering the network that do not meet compliance protocols."
"The technical support from Fortinet and local vendors is good."
"The integration of VPN services with endpoint security is valuable."
"I use the tool to connect server to an ISP Data Center."
"The solution installs very easily."
"Seqrite has significantly reduced the time it takes to detect and respond."
 

Cons

"The endpoint side of FortiClient needs improvement, specifically the agent-based endpoint, which requires enhancements in detection and additional features to reduce bugs."
"An area of improvement could be better integration with the active directory. I did not find it easy to configure."
"Working with Distribution sometimes comes at a cost due to a lack of knowledge of the current status of your licensing and products."
"Sometimes there are issues when we are trying to connect."
"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."
"I haven't found that that solution does anything amazing."
"The initial setup was probably more complex. The configuration was somewhat unclear."
"The endpoint side of FortiClient needs improvement, specifically the agent-based endpoint, which requires enhancements in detection and additional features to reduce bugs."
"The solution should focus on security, documentation, and simplicity for beginners."
"The security is too week and needs improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I don't have the licensing schema for the VPN solution because we just purchased the VPN gateway."
"Anyone can download this product for free, but you have to have a FortiGate gateway that you are connecting to."
"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."
"Pricing is an area that I would like to see improved, as it could be lower."
"FortiClient is quite reasonably priced."
"I rate the product's pricing a seven out of ten."
"Fortinet FortiClient comes free with the purchase of the FortiGate solution. There is a license required for this solution. You later can upgrade from the free version which will allow more endpoints. The cost of the license subscription is based on how many endpoints you require."
"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."
