What do you like best about FortiClient?

My company uses this at work. Many clients care about data privacy and securing data on secure networks and servers. Our IT team has set up Forticlient as a way for many of us who may be working remote these days to still safely access the data we need to do our day-to-day jobs. Many competitors have similar products, but I have not had any issues using this product. Easy to use and fast and reliable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FortiClient?

One thing that can improve is the use of two-factor authentification. Two-factor authentification is mandatory at my company, but sometimes I may not have my phone on me to allow me to do this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FortiClient?

There are a lot of things I dislike about this tool. To start with, it does not save your credentials despite saving them numerous times, you always have to go into details and then put in your credentials and then attempt to connect. If you are very lucky, your credentials would be saved. Other thing which I dislike about this tool is that it becomes non responsive a lot. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
