What do you like best about FortiClient?

I think that this is on of the the best way to implement an only-one solution for security in your network.

You can manage and control: Intrution Prevention System, SSL ispection, Firewall, Routing from different subnets ecc..

The user interface is very intuitive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FortiClient?

Depending on what has been my experience, the biggest problem was due to licensing: when the license is expired the navigation's controls are broken and even the navigation is blocked and obviously this creates inefficiency company and users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering FortiClient:

There are multiple devices (phisical products) available, each device is suitable for a defined number of users.

As i've previously mentioned, keep a check (be careful) on the license period. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

In my previous work experience, we have centralized the entire network infrastructure, we used fortigate 800c for our company, and we have installed a lot of different devices for different customers with excellent results and satisfied customers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about FortiClient?

I like that the FortiClient VPN is easy to install, setup and use. It installed quickly and cleanly the very first time (which is rare for me because I have so many other VPNs installed that tend to interfere.) Fortinet Client connects quickly and connects when other VPNs are connected. I can still access my network and internet while it's connected and can connect to my customers using remote desktop and/or ODBC connection to their SQL Server with no issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FortiClient?

I can't think of anything I dislike. I wish more of my customers would switch to Fortinet for their VPN solution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering FortiClient:

Using Fortinet Client to connect to other networks is a very dependable, stable VPN solution. FortiClient is a secure, safe VPN client and can handle lots of data passing back and forth with no noticeable slowdown. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Being able to connect to my customers with an ODBC connection allows me to troubleshoot their software from my PC to quickly assess the problem. The speed of the connection is very good and I am able to run the software over the VPN connection the same as being on site. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about FortiClient?

I'd be kidding myself if I said that Fortinet isn't every bit as useful as Cisco. The number of features available is almost overwhelming. Fortinet may not lead the market with innovations, but they are right at the heels of whoever is. Not to mention that Fortinet is an extremely profitable organization. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FortiClient?

The users interface of many of their products is less than intuitive. While it has functionality, many of the feature will leave the lab half-ready. Possibly due to their inability to support all of their products and features to the necessary extent. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering FortiClient:

When considering an enterprise network security solution, Fortinet should definitely be heavily considered. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Fortinet is a fierce competition of Palo Alto Networks and Cisco. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
