What differentiates FortiClient from other similar products?

It is a solution that differs from others because it offers the user three key points for the protection of business endpoints, fully proactive visibility, defense and control, it has an easy administration and implementation since it is administered centrally with Enterprise Manager Server, has the ability to mitigate threats that could not be repaired, and alert those infected endpoints so that an outbreak does not take place, it is ideal to have a secure remote access because it brings a VPN, in addition ensures malware detection based on patterns and behavior.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

I like the one that has an easy administration and implementation, which is able to avoid or stop the spread of an outbreak to other endpoints since this means less damage, which allows the management of vulnerabilities and the compliance of endpoints through vulnerability scanning and endpoint attack surface reduction, plus integrates with FortiSandbox to detect zero day threats and custom malware.

What do you dislike most about this product?

Adding new equipment is somewhat tedious so it takes time in this process, its cost is somewhat unbalanced because some functions require a higher payment, its updates are not automatic and the one that would be a great time saving.

It is a key solution to access remotely because its VPN maintains user protection, as well as its integration with other products and its high-performance features guarantee general protection of business endpoints.

The function that I find the most striking of this software is that by integrating with Security Fabric, cuts can be avoided since automated policies are generated, which has a simple implementation, since time is saved and training is not necessary, also not It only acts as endpoint protection software but is also ideal for secure remote access thanks to the fact that it provides a VPN.

The installation of its new versions may take time since it is not updated automatically, in addition, your connection sometimes fails but recovers quickly, however a more stable connection generates more confidence.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

My favorite aspect of this software belonging to Fortinet is that thanks to its integration with other Fortinet software such as FortiSandbox Cloud it is possible to analyze the endpoints in real time and in case of finding unusual behavior in them they can be isolated from the others to avoid that the endpoints that are free of vulnerabilities do not get infected, on the other hand, the one that has a simple and centralized administration uses this that thus saves time and it is possible to focus on other activities, in addition to the one that provides a secure remote access it not only acts as a vulnerability manager but also as a VPN.

What do you dislike most about this product?

Your connection from Windows is sometimes somewhat slow, in addition to consuming or making use of memory more than expected, which results in some limitation for low end computers.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

FortiClient is a very suitable software to provide secure and stable remote access from anywhere, so if you have remote employees it will be a great advantage to have it, also thanks to its powerful automated protection and in real time it is possible to manage simpler the vulnerabilities that usually attack the end points
