What differentiates FortiClient from other similar products?
Security is the most likable feature for me. Though I am working in a financial IT industry organization that is why security is a very important factor that's why my organization choose FortiClient which is the most secure and reliable platform. FortiClient is designed for providing off-network so the user gets the facility of zero-day malware, botnet detections, and vulnerabilities in real-time. FortiClient is available for all desktop OS(Windows, Mac, and Linux). Even the mobile application and tablet application of this platform are also available. Easy to use, fast, reliable, and importantly this doesn't degrade the system performance.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
Definitely, my overall experience is amazing with the FortiClient VPN tool. FortiClient is software that is designed for VPN capability along with security on your network from malware attacks. This platform also includes web filtering, content filtering, and web security. Even this platform acts as an antivirus and also provides endpoint security. This platform scan is capable to scan the whole system to keep track of all events. This platform provides flexibility to customize their own policies to their choice which will help for automatically quarantining suspicious endpoints to contain incidents and outbreaks. Hats off to FortiClient team
What do you dislike most about this product?
As such, there is no critical issue I faced. But sometimes, there is intermittent disconnection of the private network. But I solved this issue by trying a login credential. But a few times I had to restart my system which is not a good experience with this platform but it happens 1-2 times so I don't have a big concern about this. I observe this problem happen usually when internet bandwidth is low.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
FortiClient is designed for providing off-network so the user gets the facility of zero-day malware, botnet detections, and vulnerabilities in real-time. If someone from outside tries to access an IP-restricted network then FortiClient creates tunnel configuration by using unified threat management protocol(UTM) with SSL pinning that's why our network is so safe and reliable. Due to all these hidden executions performance of our system does not go down which is the best part.
Pros
- Reliable
- Enables Productivity
