Ideal VPN and protection for remote access
Likeliness to Recommend
What differentiates FortiClient from other similar products?
It differs from other software because it has a powerful web security module, which acts as a web filter, it allows you to easily change the configuration to allow blocking, warn or carry out monitoring, its configuration is not complex because the much of this is left with its default values so that during this process it does not require too much time, when it comes to performance terms it is a software that does not usually consume too much memory since most of the processes are carried out in the background, it offers very good malware protection, superior web filter, good phishing detection, and good local malware blocking.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
The aspect that I like the most about this solution is that it also works as an independent antivirus, with parental control and an included VPN client that allows secure remote access, its configuration is simple so that any user can carry out this process, it has the ability to reduce the attack surface of the endpoints and allow the user to manage the risk of the endpoints, it can also quickly and proactively block attacks such as: malware, malicious scripts, and even advanced threats, this is due to the fact that integrates with sandbox, it also has the ability to carry out a vulnerability scanner.
What do you dislike most about this product?
Your connection may drop and be reestablished immediately some times, however, on the contrary, other times it takes time so if you are working remotely this can be a great inconvenience, also your software update process is somewhat tedious because you do not know update immediately.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
FortiClient is ideal for providing secure and reliable remote work, this is thanks to the fact that it allows remote workers to connect to a VPN, in addition to providing real time protection against malware and malicious websites, as well as endpoint protection .
Pros
- Saves Time
- Helps Innovate
- Continually Improving Product
