What do you dislike about FortiClient?

Our company uses the discounted or free version of the software which doesn't include technical support from the VPN developer, so if we do have issues we can't get help from FortiClient for them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about FortiClient?

Forticlient features a comprehensive endpoint solution that caters to the functions of EDR and provides zero-trust network technologies. Most of the users in our organization use the VPN feature in the software to access the local network. In addition, Forticlient provides web filtering , advance threat protection and policy enforcement according to the organization's needs and compliances. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FortiClient?

Once the license expires it stops all the functions in the software, even the VPN service is a free license once the forticlient license expires users will not be able to use the free licenses which are provided with the software. Instead, a separate software should be integrated into the user's machine to access the free services such as VPN. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about FortiClient?

I heard deployment of the VPN client is always challenging, but this is not true in the case of FortiClient. Because deployment is fully automatic, easy, and quick, we deployed this on different operating systems also like windows, Linux, Ubuntu, and Mac. FortiClient is also available for mobiles and iPad/tablets. Irrespective of the platform, I never face any problem or any hiccup. FortiClient is the most secure and reliable platform in the market. It also prevents threats from different sources like a USB drive or email threat. VPN login is rapid, which adds more excellent value because, during this pandemic, all IT industries working from home accessed the company's private network. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FortiClient?

I would say enhancement rather than dislike. Sometimes while login, it gets username and password from cache or registry which creates a problem if your domain password is changed. So there should be an option to clear the cache on the front-end. Otherwise, there is no drawback I have seen. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering FortiClient:

If anyone is looking for a complete package that eliminates security threats along with VPN capabilities, then please just try once FortiClient. I bet you would love it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

FortiClient is a platform that provides security on your network from malware attacks along with VPN capabilities. Even this acts as an antivirus, and this platform also includes endpoint security. It helps in network web filtering as well as content filtering. The critical thing is the performance of the system never goes down. In-build scan functionality to keep track of all events and this platform is capable to scan whole system without impacting system perofrmance. What else do we need? Surprisingly this platform supports three-factor authorization, which makes this platform the most secure VPN client. It can automatically download updates and alerts when they are available. The technical support is very informative and they provide very quick support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
