## Reviews

### "Excellent Remote Access Solution" — 5.0/5

> **Armando** | *6 October 2020* | Health, Wellness & Fitness | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: It is an easy-to-configure tool that allows effective and efficient connectivity to our local networks from anywhere outside our offices.
> 
> **Cons**: At the moment I have no complaints about the tool, I use it daily without difficulty or risk and safely.
> 
> I use Forticlient to connect to the office remotely and to protect my computer from viruses and threats. I access servers and databases daily without difficulty and I am satisfied with the experience obtained at the time.

-----

### "adoption of FortiNet Endpoint Protection Suite" — 5.0/5

> **Ilario** | *9 January 2025* | Mechanical or Industrial Engineering | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Integration with FortiNet products, unique management console, easy to deploy.
> 
> **Cons**: Not all the features at the top, expecially XDR; price model not flexible
> 
> We already use FortiNet Firewall and FortiClient for classic VPN access, so moving to the entire Endpoint Protection suite was a natural step to improve security.

-----

### "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).

> 
> I am new to this program, and have been using it for only 2 months. I have a positive experience with the program. Much better than the previous program I was using.
