FortiClient: Balancing Security Needs with User Experience

Comments: I have positive overall experience for FortiClient cause of its ease of use with user-friendly interface, robust suite of security features including antivirus and anti-malware protection, reliable VPN capabilities and seamless integration with FortiGate.

Pros:

I like most about FortiClient are its reliable VPN capabilities that enable secure remote access to corporate networks, seamless integration with FortiGate firewalls by providing a comprehensive security solution and its ease of use with intuitive UI.

Cons:

VPN connection issues with unstable connection and not included auto-reconnect the VPN feature.

FortiClient - Buggy tool

Comments: Forticlient used to be our primary firewall and security protection for all our networks that, allowed our customers controlled access to configuration and deep analytics,

Pros:

Forticlient enables cloud-based security policy management granting the consumers restricted admission to configuration and analytics. The tool and interface is user-friendly, and I like the graphs, the dynamics and the coverage functionality it presents.

Cons:

Forticlient can be buggy at times. Recently a threat was discovered where an invader could remotely carry out arbitrary code with root privileges. Even though Forticlient team has patched this bug, this susceptibility took away the trust factor.

Positive Experience With Forti Client

Comments: I am new to this program, and have been using it for only 2 months. I have a positive experience with the program. Much better than the previous program I was using.

Pros:

This program gives me access to the programs I need to use for my job.

Cons:

There is nothing that I dislike about the program.

FortiClient review

Comments: Due to my experience in the field of networks, it is considered the best option for protection and security

Pros:

FortiClient offers a variety of security featuresFortiClient has a user-friendly interfaceintegrated with other Fortinet products

Cons:

limited customization and advanced options

FortiClient, one of the best VPN out there!

Pros:

Layers of security is just so good. Addition of mobile app makes it greater than the others.

Cons:

No cons I might say. I didn't have any problem encountered during the time that I used it.

Use forticlient to connect over vpn

Pros:

Is easy to set up and use it, users working from home have this one.

Cons:

Some times the time to double authentication expires and can get the account lock, but can unlock after this report.

'Just works' once you get it set up properly

Comments: Once we got it properly set up it was seamless, for the vast majority of our customers it provides a connectivity that 'just works'

Pros:

Works well for remote connectivity, has the options to keep our security team happy.

Cons:

Configuration has to be done just right, misconfigures can cause outages easily.

works as intended

Pros:

Can't beat free (for the standard client). Works as intended - provides us MFA and encryption for or VPN access. Support is generally good. Lots of forum and 3rd party help as well.

Cons:

Lots of updates. Which is a blessing and a curse I guess. Means they are staying on top of things, but also means there are vulnerabilities found.

Best BOYD VPN client

Comments: Nowadays, work-from-home culture is there and any software like Anydesk and Team viewer(free versions) is not secure. To overcome these issues we are using Forticlient which covers all necessary aspects (like MFA, security, performance, etc).

Pros:

The performance is fast and stable and the SSL VPN is free, there is no license cost.

Cons:

This product covers all the necessary features.

Next level VPN solution

Comments: It enables you to access organization network and application from anywhere.

Pros:

1) It provides you virtual access of your organization network and application from anywhere without compromising security.2) Multi factor authentication sign-in can be integrated with it.3) It is one of the most secured VPN solution.

Cons:

We didn't faced any issue with it till now.

Security where you need it

Comments: Excellent, In my time using this it has not failed us once and the ability to detect when the primary is offline the secondary takes over the role almost instantaneous. We do not get flooded with calls telling us the internet is down. Customers do not even realize how safe and secure they are.

Pros:

The software is very user friendly and the GUI is well laid out. Obviously it isnt designed for end user or customer use, but as an administrator the layout and applications that are managed by the actual firewalls are easily accessible and well formatted. No DOS based coding required. The config files are quite well formatted and easily modified for importing in a timely manner.

Cons:

None, easy to set up and use and on a daily basis. it isn't a task i do not look forward to doing and i use this daily as part of my admin tasks.

Forticlient helps me take my presencial job to work online with ease, It is really excellent!

Comments: I use Forticlient as a VPN to connect to my office when I am working from home. I use more than 3 banking systems, and it is really important to be connected in a protected and reliable way as I use it to make payments, and local and international transfers. Imagine how I could work with confidence if I don't use a reliable vpn.

Pros:

I like the thing that i can connect to my company's server with ease, with all the necessary protection and without any issue.

Cons:

So far I did not find issues. Moreover, it is getting simple and easier to use and makes me very productive when I am working from home.

Very good

Comments: very good user friendly tool .

Pros:

Easy deployment , user friendly gui,less disconnectivity issues ,good custmer care

Cons:

Updates are very delayed ,delay in response from customer care

An excellent tool to make your VPN connections secure and stable

Comments: I have used this product for several years to remotely access the company from distant locations, which has helped me to be able to continue my work and at the same time to be able to provide assistance to users who have problems with the services we offer. It should be noted that with this tool the VPN access is configured according to the privileges assigned to the user who uses the VPN. it has been very helpful as he can access the servers and continue to configure from outside the office

Pros:

What I like most about this tool is its easy configuration and above all that it is a safe way to access my work environment from remote locations with strong and secure encryption.

Cons:

I would say that a very stable connection is needed to be able to keep the connection active, otherwise it disconnects

Easy to Setup

Comments: FortiClient is a quick and nearly effortless way to add VPN access to your FortiNet firewall.

Pros:

I'm a relative beginner when it comes to setting up IT network infrastructure. It's not something I've had any training in, other than watching YouTube videos and reading instructional walk-throughs. With that said, we bought two FortiWalls for some small family owned businesses, and utilizing FortiClient for third-party access to systems, as well as remote access from home, setup was a breeze. Within a few clicks you can setup relatively robust VPN connections, linking 2 or more stores together, plus adding remote access from home or on the road. I believe you can also use FortiClient to establish VPN connections to non-Fortinet firewalls, but I have not tested that.

Cons:

I've only run across this issue once, on one client computer, and I'm not sure exactly what was the cause, but after installing FortiClient on a laptop, all internet functions ceased to work. The only way to regain use of the networking hardware, was to uninstall the virtual networking hardware components installed with FortiClient. I have not seen this happen anywhere else, and that laptop had several other virtual networking devices and VPN softwares installed, so I'm assuming there was some conflict or another.

Next-gen Antimalware Tool

Comments: As long as you are using it with the Endpoint Management Server, I think it's pretty tough to beat as far as configuration options go. I've manually tested FortiClient with samples from Malware Bazaar, Hybrid Analysis, and a couple other sites, and it has blocked everything that I've thrown at it.

Pros:

The ability to integrate the AV Sandbox into FortiClient was a big deal for me. This allows us to use all the standard antimalware features from FortiClient, plus the sandboxing for any previously unknown threats.

Cons:

The process to update FortiClient on all of our endpoints has gotten a little more manual with the past could versions. Previously you could push out batch updates from the Endpoint Management Server, but now I have to manually install updates on all of out endpoints.

FortiClient review

Comments: One of the main business problems has solved for us in our company using FortiClient is that any time we can rely on the VPN for quick connections and get into the server is assist out client whenever in need. We have solved support tickets much faster after using FortiClient.

Pros:

I have been using FortiClient for over 6 months for accessing one of my clients' hosted servers, mainly for updating our Application on their server so they can get the up to date features to utilize our BI tool. FortiClient has some many features such as; Endpoint protection with two-factor authentication I can sign on to remotely access the server, Secondly, FortiClient has a file browser window to find for any location of the file, File transfers, chat window and much more. Third, FortiClient offers a system scan of local pc to look for any threats that might hijack the server, but mostly FortiClient shows me possible exploits before infecting file and registries. Lastly, VPN logging provides a detail report of who accessed the server and the information of the user.

Cons:

I guess nothing that comes to mind of any negative review in my case using FortiClient.

Always improving, good support, great for schools

Comments: A solid, fairly easy to use AV/UTM client

Pros:

Even if you don't use an EMS server, and just install FortiClient, it's a solid AV with built-in web filter that defaults to at least blocking the worst stuff. It's great for schools in that way, because it means you can install it and have some piece of mind without any more configuration. If you want to get EMS, it gives you even more control; you can basically treat it just like the UTM features on a FortiGate firewall. In fact, you can run it through your FortiGate and just have everyone using the same policy all the time, with no need for extra configuration We also use it for a handful of VPNs, and it does a great job with our several FortiGates

Cons:

The current version (5.6) defaults to installing only the VPN client, so you need to "Customize" the install. This should be right in the workflow, instead of requiring "Advanced" options just to enable AV and UTM. Actually, AV should be enabled by default, and VPN should be optional. Oh yeah, and you *must* install the VPN client, even if you don't intend to use it

Great VPN client with lots of security features

Pros:

For most Fortigate customers, Forticlient is granted. It is a great VPN client, very stable and with great features (ie. automatic reconnect, AD integration at Fortigate level, …). It also is integrated with the security features (antivirus, firewall, …). I am not sure Forticlient is to be used by non Fortinet customers; but it should bring every IT Manager to look into Fortinet as their firewall solution!

Cons:

Finding updates on their website not always intuitive! Lacks a bit of central management (or I did not find out how to do it).

Forti Client - VPN Solution

Comments: Enhanced security options are the key factor Forti Client is very famous for. It has IPSec and SSL-based VPN solutions to ensure the tunnel is very much protected.

Pros:

Multi Factor authentication is very interesting and it is optimized for easy user onboarding with a QR code for the mobile application "Forti Token"

Cons:

When installing, it becomes bit messy with anti virus software.

I feel safe with this software

Comments: This is my company trusted VPN that I use daily. All the prompts and information it gives me makes me feel like my information is safe.

Pros:

It is a very easy-to-use VPN that allows you to scan your system for threats. I do this weekly and feel confident that it is keeping my communications safe.

Cons:

Maybe I don't know enough about computer software, but I am not sure exactly how it is encoding my data. I trust that it is working. Maybe there could be a bit more explanation of the process.

Forticlient protects your organization

Comments: Overall the product works well. It provides virus protection a step above built in malware scanners and allows a VPN connection into a work network. I do also find having the software run on my computer takes a few hours off of my battery life on my computer.

Pros:

It allows me to communicate with my work network securely and maintain security standards around the organization.

Cons:

It would be pretty difficult for an end user to configure if your organization did not have a way to deploy a preconfigured client.

How good FortiClient really is (Point of view of a .net developer)

Comments: In general it is good, but it takes a lot of work when you are remotely connected to the machine that has the vpn, but it is easy to use the vpn, you just turn it on and that's it.

Pros:

It is easy to use from the point of view of the user, not from the one who configures it, it is to download and enter the necessary data and use.

Cons:

On many occasions when you turn on the vpn if you are connected remotely to that computer, the remote connection drops and you have to re-enter.
