### "Great VPN client with lots of security features" — 5.0/5

> **Serge** | *17 October 2018* | Printing | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: For most Fortigate customers, Forticlient is granted. It is a great VPN client, very stable and with great features (ie. automatic reconnect, AD integration at Fortigate level, …). It also is integrated with the security features (antivirus, firewall, …). I am not sure Forticlient is to be used by non Fortinet customers; but it should bring every IT Manager to look into Fortinet as their firewall solution\!
> 
> **Cons**: Finding updates on their website not always intuitive\! Lacks a bit of central management (or I did not find out how to do it).

### "The Perfect Lightweight Endpoint Solution" — 5.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *24 March 2020* | Food Production | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I like that it keeps nefarious actors and services off of my computers, and administers system updates to them as well. This works consistently, and rarely needs any intervention.
> 
> **Cons**: Adding new computers is a little cumbersome, as they must first be added to the correct domain OU, then the domain must be refreshed in the Forticlient admin centre.
> 
> Overall, I am very happy with my usage of Forticlient. It does exactly what I need our endpoint solution to do, without weighing my users' computers down. As an added bonus, the included VPN works perfectly with my Fortigate firewalls.
