Not more difficult than other clients... Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The design is not good, the application (push notification) token feature is not working stable, some dns settings made on the gateway side do not work properly on vpn Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is a simple software to install and use, IT staff sends us the connection instructions by email and you can quickly configure your VPN access. The software is available on the Internet and is free to download, so it is easy to start a connection on any other computer. Being connected to the company activates my access and navigation profile as if I were in the company. File transfer is fast, that is, encryption does not affect connection performance. I have noticed that it is possible to save user and password preferences, depending on the company, which is a convenience for those who use the software frequently. Placing connection certificates is simple for a non-systems user. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

At a general level, a complete tool to cover areas of remote vpn connections and a good option to use as an antivirus, and perform certain restrictive configurations on some equipment if necessary. The tool according to the use has a decent consumption of processing and ram in the equipment, recommended its deployment in equipment of medium-high range. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Forticlient as part of our daily performance, in its approach as a connector of remote virtual networks, has familiarized the trust among our range of users by departments. The management incurred as users of the tool have helped us to offer our internal services, from any remote site, without affecting the service of the company due to lack of personnel one working day. This additional Forticlient tool brings as a function the security incurred as a mini firewall. Since by its accessories like safe pagians controller and virus analyzer, it has made the clients safer Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
As a virtual network connection tool, it is a tool that disengages from its main objective by linking the unified threat management functions and a vpn ssl connection terminal. On occasions, it has been shown that the tools have a service cut in the internet browsing and remote connections by ssl protocol Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The FortiClient is a really reliable and stable VPN client. I can even take calls through the VPN and the calls are perfect. I think in a month using the client, only once my connection dropped. Also, it support the latest encryption protocols, so I consider it a secure VPN. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Nothing, it is an amazing tool. The initial setup may take few minutes, but once this is set, you don't have to do anything else Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Quick setup, easy access application, a pleasant and very intuitive environment. It allows observing vulnerabilities, possesses a lot of integrity in its tools, as it is not only an antivirus but also a firewall, VPN, and other very useful options. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Greater accessibility regarding the software download and validation of its functionality. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
In search of a tool that would allow us to be in a virtual place, to try to save unnecessary costs. Forticlient comes to light as a terminal of last generation for our department that we have been working with fortinet, for which in its remote connection configuration ssl is very useful to use it and more when it comes to giving restricted access to a few internal resources of the network remote to the customers of the company. In this way, the forticlient tool in all its connection characteristics allows to control even simple internet browsing. It helps to face threats like viruses, pages with malicious data capture and other dangerous components that want to stalk with our computers. Forticlient also comes as a mini firewall of great range to be sure at the time of snowing on the Internet and connect vpn vpn wherever we want. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
In its complexity of versions, it should be noted that the tool at certain times for unknown connection failures is lost connection but in turn is not notified, which incurs that we are working at some time and lose connection without notice. However Forticlient fulfills its function proncipal sn problem Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Forticlient, is a tool based on full security. It is an executable terminal located on the Fortinet website. It can be executed in different modalities, such as: vpn connection, by ssl or ipsec protocols and it also works as a mini firewall of integral individual security where it is installed, since it brings security functions on the web. We consider that the tool has given the full confinzada to choose it as the mandatory security program for the clients that we offer the integral service, in its machines that are not being protected under a firewall in general. For the other clients if the tool can be installed only with vpn connection functions and thus avoid the additional consumption of tool resources in each computer.

This tool is not very useful in its latest version, in teams with few resources, since the demand for work is large, therefore for low hardware equipment it is difficult to let this tool work, despite this disadvantage, the tool is exceptional. It fulfills its function and promises much more. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The Forticlient security suite is based on an online executable that weighs nothing. When installing the program, it downloads all the necessary files from the Fortinet servers to proceed with the real installation.
Forticlient allows you to choose what you want to install from just choosing the VPN client until you have the entire suite. You can choose between having an antiviurs, a filtering, an application control, a VPN client, an antispam or an SSO agent in the active directory.
Usually in the company we have it implemented for VPN client use, the installation and configuration is simple, you just have to create the VPN connection which costs you to assign a name, a descricpion, the remote gateway, customize the remote port (if applies), save the changes and certify the connection.
On a personal level I have tested the application as antivirus and web filtering being exceptional when controlling the navigation and viruses. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What I do not like about Forticlient that requires a team with good resources of memory and processing to use the complete suite, of the rest, as a VPN client, works well in any low, medium or high-end equipment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Forticlient is the only terminal in the exhaustive search for a program that will develop a stable and reliable remote connection. By which, to determine a connection to a remote location, this client is the one because it accepts a connection ssl and ipsec, including the feature of a unified threat manager, which allows you to have control of your navigation with a complete software Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The error that we have seen of the whole tool is that when running in the background, it stops connecting, therefore we do not know in what moment the connection continues when we develop an important connection. Therefore, the persistence of the connection is not reliable. However, the tool does not have more faults and does its job correctly Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
