    I don't have a single most valuable feature. Every feature is really working for me. One of the reasons I bought it was for the USB block, but that's not as much a use case anymore since I have a lot of people working remotely. It's the DLP part that is more important to me right now, to pinpoint the data that's getting moved. The granularity enables me to not only see a file, but to read inside the file and pull out the data inside it. The granularity is really pretty good on that. It's very important. Let's say somebody just exported a file or emailed a file or uploaded a file on the internet. Seeing the inside of the file is really important to me. Whether it's encrypted or not, I still can see inside the file. I'm the only admin on it, but the role-based access is fine. I have one user that I give access to so he can just see device control and that's it. That's all I need him to see. I was able to do that, so I'm pretty happy with the role-based access. I use the solution's clipboard granularity feature to monitor copying and pasting to specific exit points, and it works great. People are trying to get the data any way they can, from the clipboard and things like that. I'm able to see it, report on it, and block it.

    Overall, my experience with the client is good, and because of its performance and lightweight, I recommend this software to my colleagues. Before this, I also used other apps for the same purpose, but my search ended when I came to Forticlient.

    • Virtually a one-click action connection to my work network while remote. I just enter my network username & Password, click connect, and I can access all the fileshares as if I were on-site.
    • Speed - I have used other virtual network clients in the past, and the speed while working remote with one of them (even on a high speed connection) was easily 10x slower than if I were physically on the network. FortiClient is different, where the speed degradation is on the magnitude of only 2-3x slower - A significant and noticeable difference compared to other clients on the market.
    • On MacOS, FortiClient has a little toolbar icon that gives me a status, as well as actions to quickly connect or disconnect from my work network. It is a small thing, but a super handy feature!

    Cons
    CoSoSys
    • Source code detection is their selling point, they should fix all the problems
    • Copy/Paste, when you copy paste text, the control applies over the paste, this is correct, but when you copy files, the control is on the copy, not in the paste, so Incan not move protected content not even in a sub folder
    • Device protection shouldn’t be the main module, there are other software that handle devices, you should focus on DLP

    • font way too small on login, unable to select an option, for example, to see each letter of password as typed promotes errors at login
    • login errors and failure rate extremely high as [reported] by all our physicians and other providers: not infrequently one will have to return to office after hours in order to complete charts or access charts to answer patient after hours questions
    • frequent disconnects in spite of excellent internet signal
    • unacceptable interruptions in patient care

    Because the software is very simple and easy to use, very efficient, and has a stable connection that allows the user to perform tasks without problems. Also, this software does not need to be configured by IT technicians, since it comes with a very developed and understandable set up guide.

    We have used Forticlient for a number of years now and have found only minor faults with the application. The fact that our end users request little to no training to be able to utilize our VPN says a lot compared to the product we previously used to use for similar tasks. The Forticlient shield is a quick way to 'demonstrate confidence in security' at a glance among our end users - if you see the shield, you are protected. The only downside we've experienced is a few false positive AV detections, but this is more linked to Fortiguard labs/signatures.

    FortiClient is a security suite with which we can keep our equipment well-protected. And it is that in a system like Windows, which is always the target of all kinds of attacks, it is not enough to have a simple antivirus.

    Overally, FortiClient has less vulnerabilities than the two other products. The price is comparable to Citrix Gateway, but significantly less than Cisco AnyConnect. Much of the benefits of the FortiClient come with its ability to integrate with other Fortinet solutions. Without that, it is interchangeable with almost any other client.
