Overall Satisfaction with FortiClient

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I use it to access a customer's network and I need to trust it. And I do. It helps me do my job and I'm not worried about my data or my customer's network being sniffed, the service seems to be reliable. I connect once a day and the connection lasts all the time. It doesn't route all my traffic to the destination VPN server, instead, only the resources being accessed in their network are transferred by FortiClient.

Pros and Cons

Pros

FortiClient is easy to set up and get running on Windows 10.
You can set up and connect very quickly and, according to you connection's reliability, it never goes down.
It's fast (not much overhead) and doesn't impact the computer's performance even on the system's start-up.

Cons

Troubles on Windows 7 systems

Return on Investment

It helps me doing my job and I'm not worried about my data or my customer's network being sniffed.
The service seems to be reliable.

Alternatives Considered

FortiClient

Web filtering, WAN optimization, application firewall and antivirus /antimalware functionality for laptops, PCs and mobile devices.

Support Rating

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.
