I have used this product for several years to remotely access the company from distant locations, which has helped me to be able to continue my work and at the same time to be able to provide assistance to users who have problems with the services we offer. It should be noted that with this tool the VPN access is configured according to the privileges assigned to the user who uses the VPN. it has been very helpful as he can access the servers and continue to configure from outside the office

What I like most about this tool is its easy configuration and above all that it is a safe way to access my work environment from remote locations with strong and secure encryption.

I would say that a very stable connection is needed to be able to keep the connection active, otherwise it disconnects

My Co was facing network management issues before Forticlient, Now all management from single windows and efficient with secure VPN to manage all office needs from remote locations.

A complete solution with high level End-to-End threat control solution VPN (SSL & IP Sec for pvt networks) with auto connect feature . very lightweight client for all levels. Price.

Memory utilization is very high. Hanging issue occurred while using

I can say that it is a very practical application, especially if you need to connect to a server which does not have more licenses, you just have to generate a user for your VPN and the access problem is solved.

It is a very generous tool, since with it you can connect to a server as if it were locally, it allows you to share its resources without problems.

A great disadvantage of this tool is the limit that one can have with the internet, this means that if your internet is too bad, the connection will be too slow, which generates some annoyance in users, since the tool is very dependent of that resource as such

We handle a lot of sensitive and classified financial information at the organization, and we've had attempted computer cyber-attacks in the past that thankfully did not result in any harm to our business, and we were concerned if it happened again. We have more confidence in the privacy and security of our communication and information after implementing the FortiClient system.

To have a satisfying experience, the project duration time and level of the personnel responsible for deployment and administration must be sufficient. For us, we encountered issues with the complexity of connecting our networking system with other applications an hoping for much better solution for that issues.

I use it to access a customer's network and I need to thrust it. And I do. 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. 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 transfered by FortiClient.

FortiClient is easy to set up and get running on Windows 10. All you need to know is the IP or DNS from the VPN Server, a username and password. You can set up and connect very quickly and, according to you connection's reliability, it never goes down. It's fast (not much overheaded) and don't impact on computer's performance even on system's start-up.

I don't know exactly what kind of mechanism it uses to tunnel the network packages but its some technology that are causing troubles on Windows 7 systems. I was using FortiClient in a Windows 7 virtual machine some months ago and it suddenly stopped working now, I guess it was some update that caused it. I have spent many hours trying to get it working with no success. On my Windows 10 Host machine it works, so I'm using on it now as a workaround.

Experience is good all around. In the past, we connected with global Protect, but Forti client is more user-friendly than it.

I appreciate the variety of security measures available, from firewalls and VPNs to less well-known options like the VPN Portal, which enables web-based access to corporate resources and has proven to be a really practical option, especially for access from mobile devices. The excellent documentation is another benefit I believe merits highlighting.

The authentication/login process is simple and quick, however it will automatically disconnect if your system is locked or idle for an extended period of time, and you will need to log in again using your credentials and authentication. Therefore, we must go through the login process several times per day, which is incredibly exhausting.

Remote user management is easy, endpoints like laptops and devices are protected well and easily managed, security policies are easy to implement

Backend can be have compatibility issues, users can get issues while installing due to complex requirements

I like the wide range of security tools on offer, from VPNs and firewalls to lesser-known solutions such as the VPN Portal, which allows access to internal resources via a web browser, proving to be a very convenient solution, especially when accessing from mobile devices. I also consider the very good documentation to be an additional advantage worth mentioning.

Configuration with tools from other providers can be complicated. It is also quite heavy in terms of the use of system resources.

I neat little bit of software that given time will become a market leading piece of software

The VPN system is so simple to use and boasts several key security measures to ensure all data is safe and secure

Sometimes the VPN can disconnect with no warning and takes a while to reconnect, whilst the stability of the software has got better its still far from perfect.

85% of the time, I don't notice it, so it is working just fine.

Auto Connect wasn't reliable for several weeks, so now I manually connect when I need it. This seems fine.

A solid, fairly easy to use AV/UTM client

Even if you don't use an EMS server, and just install FortiClient, it's a solid AV with built-in web filter that defaults to at least blocking the worst stuff. It's great for schools in that way, because it means you can install it and have some piece of mind without any more configuration. If you want to get EMS, it gives you even more control; you can basically treat it just like the UTM features on a FortiGate firewall. In fact, you can run it through your FortiGate and just have everyone using the same policy all the time, with no need for extra configuration We also use it for a handful of VPNs, and it does a great job with our several FortiGates

The current version (5.6) defaults to installing only the VPN client, so you need to "Customize" the install. This should be right in the workflow, instead of requiring "Advanced" options just to enable AV and UTM. Actually, AV should be enabled by default, and VPN should be optional. Oh yeah, and you *must* install the VPN client, even if you don't intend to use it

We've been using forticlient as our endpoint security in our office, it's been working just great. It detects infected files and quarantines them , their antivirus database is very up to date and get updated to your workstation automatically. This is a great security application and it works even better if you link it to the fortinet fortigate firewall. Some of our users use the VPN functionality to access certain devices on the network securely when they're outside of the office.

It's free. You get the free features like antivirus, website filter, spam blocker etc. You can unlock its full features if you link it to your fortinet fortigate firewall. You also have the option to establish a VPN from the endpoint to your network through the fortigate firewall.

No automatic application updates, you need to download and install a the application when a new version is released. The AV database does get updated automatically so no issues there.

My company uses forticlient for remote work. When Covid-19 prevented persons from being in close proximity to each other, forticlient saved the day by giving persons the ability to work from home without skipping a beat or missing out on anything. It is a must-have for small companies.

Easy to download and set up Allows employees access to work server and work files It is free for what we use it for which is the VPN option It is SAFE!!! which is super important because we deal with very sensitive information.

When multiple persons are on it at the same time, the connection can drop and that can create a whole mess. It gives no alert when the connection drops, the only way you know is when you suddenly can't access work files. If the computer goes to sleep, you will have to log in all over again because the connection will drop.

Enhanced security options are the key factor Forti Client is very famous for. It has IPSec and SSL-based VPN solutions to ensure the tunnel is very much protected.

Multi Factor authentication is very interesting and it is optimized for easy user onboarding with a QR code for the mobile application "Forti Token"

When installing, it becomes bit messy with anti virus software.

Protection from malicious attacks.Remote working through use of the strong vpn

Forticlient VPN detects and filters malicious attacks like malwares and websites.Remote working is made easy since people working from home get secure access of company systems.Configuring and installing forticlient doesn't require technical knowledge.

The application requires an active internet connection to work well.

It enables you to access organization network and application from anywhere.

1) It provides you virtual access of your organization network and application from anywhere without compromising security.2) Multi factor authentication sign-in can be integrated with it.3) It is one of the most secured VPN solution.

We didn't faced any issue with it till now.

The overall experience was  amazing. I've been using this product for a while now to access the business remotely from far-off areas, which has made it possible for me to continue working while also helping customers who are having issues with the services we provide. 

This tool's simple configuration and, more importantly, the fact that it provides a secure means of gaining access to my work environment from distant locations are what I value most about it.

I'd argue that in order to maintain the connection, it needs to be really stable; otherwise, it disconnects.

I extremely love that you get a notification on my laptop when my VPN is down. It doesn’t happen often but if it does it is a simple right click to bring up the log in field and re-log in without losing my work or getting knocked out of the other programs I used for work. Love this software!

Setting up was difficult if you don’t know what you’re doing. Thankfully our IT team is there to help us configure it from the beginning but this is only a one time thing. It’s easy to use from there.

Forticlient can be used on a smart phone or computer, it provides a secure VPN on your devices.The application provides a two authentication token used while logging into the app making it secure.

The application has no issues at the moment.

The Fortinet VPN offers many advantages. You can use it when you want to browse the Internet and if you don't like the security that your current web browser provides. The best part is that you won't have to worry about your private information being intercepted by hackers.

One of the things I don't like is that in each version some aspect changes, either in configuration or how the dashboard is organized.

We used for remote access to resolve issues, we used protect information by mitigating cyber attacks and preventing unathorised users to access RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol)

Easy to install and use ,working as untivirus to scan virus, has more features, very fast to connect with the active directory.

Lockout user accounts if you entired wrong password, not easy to configure if you do not have IT background and not updating automatically.

Since we are running fortigates, the forticlient sslvpn piece provides the single pane of glass management we prefer. Add in MFA and you are running a pretty secure setup.

I was able to implement the free version of FortiClient and detail it to work within our environment. Alternate vendor MFA setup was easy to implement with the client.

Issue's with authentication lockouts. Still working through the bugs but the sslvpn is working as expected. Licensing can get a bit pricey.

At this moment, we are enjoying the ease of management as well as the enhanced security.

I love being able to remotely manage the security for our employees' endpoints without too much configuration work on our side. Once the installer is configured on your EMS server, the VPN and security settings come on by themselves.

Our team spent a good while reading and re-reading the documentation to ensure the connection and security settings were properly set. Also, removing the client is a bit of a pain until you read that there's a special uninstaller to remove it.

I am using vpn feature of forticlient product. The number of our remote workers has increased significantly during the pandemic period, I use this product to handle this load. By distributing the defined configuration for ssl vpn remotely, users just need to press the connect button.

I have not encountered any major problems with the product so far.

Overall, I think its a formidable software which serves its purpose of connect users with host clients enabling them access with a plethora applications. I would recommend this software for those looking for a remote client service for personal and business purposes.

I love that this software allows me to work from home while giving me access to my company host network so i can perform my job duties on a daily basis. Its easy to use, and easy configuration once you have the network credentials provided from your IT department.

Sometimes when you disconnect your VPN connection, there is a delay or lag in the process. Also when you connect sometimes the transmission fails or takes a long time to connect with the host network.
