Fortinet offers FortiClient, their endpoint security system emphasizing automated advanced threat protection, security fabric integration, secure remote access, endpoint quarantine, and a comprehensive reporting dashboard.FortinetFortiClient is a great enterprise-level VPN Solution2018-10-11T18:05:09.333ZOur entire organization uses FortiClient. We have a large number of employees that either work remote, travel frequently, or otherwise work outside of our secure network that need access to private and proprietary files - FortiClient is the tool we use to seamlessly allow all authorized users access to our network. FortiClient addresses the issue of keeping all employees connected to the same network, no matter how geographically dispersed they are.,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!,The main client UI feels a bit dated and clunky. Some of the interactions are not clearly called out or organized, making it hard to understand how to get under the hood quickly.
Sometimes FortiClient can be a memory hog and noticeably be a contributor to slower speeds while working on my computer. I sometimes have to disconnect, hard stop, and then restart and reconnect in order to resolve the memory issue.,10,I have more flexibility in working remotely, knowing that I have a reliable and secure way of accessing files on my work network. This increased flexibility has led to better productivity, more freedom to work when and how I want, and confidence in knowing I can access what I need to when I need to.
Working with employees on the other side of the world, I have confidence in sharing my files with them by simply working on my local network. This increases collaboration, speed, and efficiency.Evan JaffeVery simple to use and not intrusive at all!2018-08-29T16:01:58.043ZFortiClient is a very simple software that is being used mainly for VPN purposes.

Analyst Reports,I would first take a look at the user interface and evaluate the aspects of the software--this could have saved us some time training staff and getting a good overview of how it works. After this, there is nothing else we could change in our criteria, since it's a nice VPN.,9,No,There was one time that my PC was having difficulties in the OS, and I called thinking that the issue was happening due to the software.

Centralizing client managing monitorization,9Horacio CarcamoMy FortiClient Experience2018-12-28T15:15:47.307ZMy company uses FortiClient to enable their employees to work from home when this is required. It helps us to log in from our homes and work remotely from there. It basically helps the company to make sure an associate is able to log in, wherever he/she is, despite the fact that he was not able to make it to the physical office, due to external issues such as car accidents on their way to work, roadblocks, weather conditions, etc.,It works as a VPN client remote access.
It works perfectly on Windows or Mac
It acts as a web filter and antivirus,On my personal experience it takes its time to load and execute (memory usage)
It can disconnect at least once during a session
Better web filtering,8,It has made it possible for our company to keep running even if our associates can't make it to their office
Allows flexibility for those employees that work outside our headquarters, making possible for the company to hire new talents even though they do not live here. Helps avoid relocation expenses
Since it makes possible for people to log in from their homes, this results in more quality time for our families, since the commuting is eliminated or reduced.,,GoToMeetingVerified UserFortiClient - for when you need to keep data safe behind a VPN2018-05-29T02:46:05.160ZWe manage confidential client data, so security is incredibly important to us.

We feel confident that it's difficult to hack, but we really appreciate how easy and reliable it is for VPN connection.,Simple user interface and easy to use, so anyone who needs access to your VPN can get to it reliably.
Reliably secure, which means it's not easy for others to access whatever you keep behind your VPN.
Easy to administer for your IT team.,Offers additional capabilities beyond being able to connect to a VPN, but it's not always clear what these are or why they are important.,9,It's an affordable means of keeping our data secure AND accessible by staff members, allowing us to work remotely and access the database at home or outside of the office. This allows staff to reach maximum productivity.,UberConference, Amazon ChimeEmma McCarthy
