FortiClient Reviews & Product Details - Page 16

The vpn client of fortine, forticlient is a very used tool in Servicios ALO 24 C.A. since there are employees and advisors who work outside the facilities and the resources of the internal network are necessary. The VPN client makes the remote connections through the SSL protocol where the information is encrypted to provide greater security. It is necessary to have active internet service so that the client works correctly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

VPN forticlient client provides a mini firewall at the time of installation, if you select the two modes the software consumes high resources of the computer and makes the computer very slow and overload the memory. It is recommended to only install the client since the firewall option is not so necessary. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I mainly use FortiClient for the VPN connection from my home to the company where I work. It is a VPN client easy to use, configure and maintain.

It is constantly updated and with the option of VPN consumes few resources of the laptop.

FortiClient is not only based on a thin VPN client but also integrates a security suite of the Fortinet brand. You can choose what option to install as if it were modules.

These modules are antivirus, firewall, web filtering, application firewall, FSSO, FortiSandbox, SSL and IPsec VPN access.

Each section is optional at the time of installing the application and does not require in certain cases the use of a Fortigate in the network, since the same software offers all the benefits as if it were a business fortigate.

The points that highlights that FortiClient in my personal appreciation is web filtering and application firewall that adds a plus in a free software, has nothing to envy to premium security suites. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As a negative point of the program is that if you want to have all the benefits of the application, that is, all modules require a computer with good computing and memory capabilities, since it consumes a lot of resources to keep the computer safe in all the senses.

From the rest the software develops correctly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

VPN connections are a secure method where we can connect to our internal network. These connections are handled under IPSEC and SSL protocols. For this case the VPN connections in my network are handled with the forticlient tool with the manufacturer fortinet where the user and password are configured in the firewall and a policy is assigned giving the permissions to which subnets it has access to. At the same time forticlient acts as a mini firewall on the computer where it is installed giving security to the computer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One of the weak features of the forticlient is the large processor consumption that the tool has when installed on the computer at the processing level. With the new updates the tool has functions that make our teams work at high performance by slowing down the processing of information in our final equipment. And how delicate is the configuration of end users on their computers. Assigned fixed public IP to remotely access the local fortinet. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It stands out for its ease of installation and configuration, which even the user can perform.

In terms of security, the complete FortiClient package includes integrated antivirus, web filtering, control of applications, monitoring of operating system updates and the integration of Fortigate with FortiClient.

The points in favor of the tool is that it is constantly being updated by improving virus stops and better controlling web browsing. It is a tool that can be used even without having a Fortigate in the organization and that is also free, competing with great security tools in the market.

How any security tool provides the user or administrator of the network of logs of each module to use and the inclusion of adding a password to the options section. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As a negative point of the FortiClient security solution is the excessive use of computer resources, if all modules are installed negatively affects the memory and processor, it is recommended to install the application in medium-high or high-end equipment.

When we need to access a network that the staff is outside the office installation is necessary to make the configuration of remote computers forticlient works efficiently in this situation as it is a VPN client. The configuration is done in fortigate teams at the administrator level so that clients with internet access connect from a remote network to access the fortigate that through access policies has access to the internal network and can access the resources it needs each customer.

VPN accesses will always depend on the speed of internet connection, if the internet connection is limited or that much intermittency will be directly affected by the remote access to computers.

What I like about this tool is that you can use it as a local protection method of your terminal or you can use it as a vpn.

The only thing that does not please the tool is that when disconnecting from a vpn destination, it does not indicate when the session has ended, because to establish the continuous connection, it is necessary to be aware of this connection through the icon that runs in the second plane Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
