What do you like best about FortiClient?

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.

I can support the applications that I use in the company where I work from anywhere I am, that is a great advantage, at some times I have not been able to go to my office and with just establishing the connection I have resolved many. The benefits have been remarkable since we have improved our response times, providing a better service to our client. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about FortiClient?

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.

What do you dislike about FortiClient?

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.

Recommendations to others considering FortiClient:

I recommend the Forticlient tool to all personnel who want to connect via remote to their work center through the Forticlient tool. If you use Fortinet this VPN connection plugin. is the most complete and stable of all vpn terminals that exist in the market, above cpn vpn or other customers.

Daily for our external clients, this is the main connection tool to our work site. Since as external use our resources remotely. In addition to our management as direct employees of the company, we can manage resources whenever we want from anywhere. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about FortiClient?

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.

What do you dislike about FortiClient?

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.

I have seen as a result that the tool has allowed me to solve remote faults that have been presented in any branch of our company in this way.

For external customers, this is a high performance tool to streamline and deal with work remotely, our employees believe that the tool has been a great help and magic to work from home.

What do you like best about FortiClient?

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FortiClient?

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.

Recommendations to others considering FortiClient:

We consider this tool as the only one capable of offering two consecutive services in the same terminal. Two functions that not every program contains and is linked daily to an update of their databases to keep track of updates to date. If you are a Fortinet administrator, you will know that forticlient is the key to using it as a secure remote connection Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is FortiClient solving and how is that benefiting you?

As a team we have solved many problems for our main clients, offering this safe and easy to use tool. In addition to this I consider that as a work tool it is necessary for our continuous control performance. Safeguard the security of a client connection is essential and more when we do it thanks to Forticlient Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about FortiClient?

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 do you dislike about FortiClient?

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.

What problems is FortiClient solving and how is that benefiting you?

Con la llegada de Forticlient todos los usuarios pueden acceder remoto a los recursos de la empresa desde la comodida de su hogar. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FortiClient?

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.

Recommendations to others considering FortiClient:

I recommend to all administrators trying to solve a remote connection for their clients, this tool that is sure to be great and reliable Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is FortiClient solving and how is that benefiting you?

I have solved problems like the clients of my department that need to work remotely to the company, when they use this tool they can use certain resources of the remote network that is allowed.
