Overall Satisfaction with FortiClient

FortiClient is being used across the whole company as the primary VPN solution to connect to a FortiGate. It solves a major problem of being able to collaborate with employees across multiple business sites with the peace of mind that the data is safe at both ends of the connection, as well as along the way.
  • FortiClient is very easy to set up.
  • Two-Factor Authentication is enabled.
  • Non-intrusive notifications on the connection status.
  • Has a stable connection.
  • The interface requires an overhaul to fit into the design sphere of Windows 10.
  • Limited information is available, as a user, when experiencing connection errors.
  • There are features in settings that require manual tweaking to work as intended (e.g. customization of ports).
  • Fewer IT support calls with regards to our VPN.
  • The security of the VPN process has been improved.
  • Our cost per VPN connection has increased as compared to a previous solution.
FortiClient has a physical desktop client that is not loaded through the browser. This makes life a lot easier because your VPN connection is always sitting right where you need it, and not behind a certain IP address that changes from time to time. FortiClient's interface and configuration settings, as well as the simple install process, trumps Juniper Secure Access SSL VPN any day.

FortiClient is very well suited to large enterprises where the IT infrastructure is centrally controlled and administered. This is a perfect market for FortiClient, as it is simple to set up and operate, as a user, and has the bare minimum features needed to get the job done without overcomplicating things.
