What do you like best about FortiClient?

One of the most important things for me it’s security, for IT departments apps like Forticlient make daily tasks easier than ever. For end users, it’s easier to download, install and connect through a secure channel to our corporate network. With a simple configuration file, there is no need to be a technology expert.

For IT users it’s an excellent tool because simplify the old technical configurations, allow us to use different types of protocols like SSL VPN or IPSec. Another point for security it’s the extra layer with Two-Factor authentication. This app add Antivirus protection and Parental Control for users, so it's a plus. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FortiClient?

For us it’s really expensive to maintain the service up to date and licensed, we need to combine all the futures to ensure that financials departments understand his value. There are some issues related to bandwidth connection (mixed with Internet Providers), recently our users claim that network tunnel fails if they are using apps with high consumption (video conference, streaming, etc). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering FortiClient:

It's one of the best firewall solutions at the market (Cost vs Benefits) you can contact a reseller and request a DEMO. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Most of our employees use third parties apps to connect to their computers and do remote work, we use Fortinet as firewall so we add an extra security layer for them. Now they have an app at home to access his files on the main server without problems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about FortiClient?

FortiClient is extremely simple, especially for the level of protection it offers you over the VPN connection that it creates. There are only the bare minimum, essential settings available, making setting up a new connection as easy as could possibly be. Actually using the connection is just as simple with a username, password and the two-factor authentication via mobile. The status of the connection is minimised to your taskbar and it lets you know when something goes wrong. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FortiClient?

The interface is possibly the only thing that I don't like about the software. It feels as if it has been left behind in the 2000's. This doesn't really affect the useability, but if a user were to compare this to some of the other interface types out there, they may be tempted to make a gut feel choice of software based on interface quality. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering FortiClient:

This is a really good software package. Although I haven't tested much else, FortiClient is extremely convenient and easy to use; I can't see one needing much else. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Being able to connect securely to the company intranet across multiple sites is a lot easier when you know your data is safe at both ends as well as in transit. I am able to get more done without having persistent dropped connections and re-verifications of my credentials. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Forticlient on it's own is a good endpoint A/V but with the ability to operate in conjunction with the other Fortinet products is awesome. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
