    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.

    Easy to learn, use and deploy. Kaspersky EDR Expert allows to automatically find unmanaged and rogue endpoints, remove previous agent from another vendor, install its agent, move endpoint to a group based on endpoint's characteristics, change security policies if for example endpoint is moved to another subnet or currently out-of-office, apply malware outbreak rules in case of attack

    Pros
    Fortinet
    • 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
    Fortinet
    • 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

    • Linux-systems support on the same level like windows systems
    • Untying from Kaspesky ATA
    • AI add to ease the way of profiling the system (it requires 1 FTE to examine all the incidents on 10 000 hosts? too much)

    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.

    Usability
    Fortinet
    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.

    Overall, the suite of benefits and more reasonable cost per user/license to the organization were the key components affecting our decision-making.

    • Security is essential so we gain trust from clients!
    • Data has private so we don't need to worry about additional security.
    • More than 95% client needed more security which is fulfil by FortiClient.
    • Don't need to use additional securities like SSL certificate or SSH.
