Systems Engineer Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 12/15/2023 "FortiClient - Does a good job" 3.5/5 What do you like best about FortiClient? It's integrated with their firewalls which means no punching holes to get through a firewall. It also has a pretty simple configuration. Intergration with Entra ID is possible by pointing to an NPS (RADIUS) server on premise with the Entra ID by using the NPS extenstion from MS. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/entra/identity/authentication/howto-mfa-nps-extension Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about FortiClient? The client on a PC has multiple .exe files in the zip, and it seems like overcooking it. I don't like that unless you buy up to EMS, their is no support. I did find a bug and was told they can't help me as I don't pay for EMS. If you change the group of traffic you want to bring over the split tunnel it drops all connections instantly vs waiting till clients reconnect to push the config. This causes issues where your users are effected and you have to plan this simple change as maintenance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is FortiClient solving and how is that benefiting you? I don't use it for Endpoint Management like it says above. That is a required field here and an option in EMS not the free version. Connecting clients remotely is what we use it for. We also use it to identify traffic that has been MFA'd (VPN connected clients get a special subnet) and then allow them access to servers that require MFA being supplied somewhere in the chain.

Stable and secure VPN connection for remote work, ease of use with a simple interface, and comprehensive endpoint protection Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

BDC Manager Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 4/30/2026 "Seamless and Reliable Security Management" 5/5 What do you like best about FortiClient? I find FortiClient very easy to use and intuitive. It's been very reliable for us. The software gives options to have a single screen up or multiple screens up, which is convenient. I also appreciate how easy it is to administrate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about FortiClient? Sometimes, the server will go down and it needs to be rebooted after a power glitch. And the user must have their app open to approve the connection. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is FortiClient solving and how is that benefiting you? I use FortiClient to keep security tight within our dealerships and monitor employee stations, making call center operations smoother.

AA Alejandro A. Backoffice Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 3/17/2026 "Excellent Unified One Agent: Lightweight EDR, VPN, and Web Filtering in One Client" 4/5 What do you like best about FortiClient? The unified One Agent approach is excellent. Having EDR, VPN, and web filtering managed through a single lightweight client reduces system bloat and simplifies security compliance across the entire organization. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about FortiClient? What I dislike most is the lack of user-friendly diagnostics when a connection fails. When the ZTNA or VPN tunnels drop, the error codes are often too cryptic for an average user to solve without opening a ticket with the IT helpdesk. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is FortiClient solving and how is that benefiting you? PROBLEM: Traditional VPNs are clunky, require manual login, and often slow down the connection. BENEFIT: FortiClient solves this with ZTNA (Zero Trust Network Access), which connects automatically and securely to only the apps I need. This benefits me by providing a seamless 'always-on' experience without the headache of managing a manual VPN. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Customer Onboarding and Support Executive Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 1/19/2026 "Reliable and Secure VPN for Everyday Remote Access" 4.5/5 What do you like best about FortiClient? What I like most about FortiClient VPN is its reliability and strong security prioritization. Once the IT team has configured it, connecting to the company network is simple, consistent, and easy to repeat on a day-to-day basis. The client feels stable overall, and I rarely run into unexpected disconnects. I also appreciate how well it integrates with Fortinet’s security ecosystem, which gives me added confidence that my data is encrypted and protected. From a user perspective, it does its job in the background without noticeably slowing down my system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about FortiClient? The initial setup and configuration can be a bit confusing for end users, especially when the IT instructions aren’t very detailed. At times, the interface feels somewhat technical and not as user-friendly as some consumer VPNs. Additionally, connection issues can occur if the network changes or the internet quality drops, which may necessitate reconnecting. Overall, these are minor inconveniences and are usually easy to resolve. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is FortiClient solving and how is that benefiting you? FortiClient VPN provides secure remote access to internal company systems and resources. Before I started using it, working remotely felt less secure and more fragmented. With FortiClient VPN, I can safely connect to internal tools, servers, and applications from outside the office without worrying about data exposure. It has made remote work smoother, helped me stay aligned with company security policies, and given me peace of mind when handling sensitive information. Overall, it’s a dependable VPN solution that supports a secure, flexible work environment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Applications System Analyst Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 5/14/2021 "FortiClient excellent for secure remote work connecting to work systems." 5/5 What do you like best about FortiClient? For several years now, we’ve had 10 discretionary remote work days per year, along with several set, company-wide remote work days. Many of our systems require us to log in to FortiClient in order to access them from home. Our company chose this software to create a secure connection to our work systems, and it’s been essential for remote access. I also provide after-hours support, so I still rely on it when I need to connect from home outside of normal hours. I really like how straightforward it is: I log in to FortiClient and I’m quickly connected in a secure way. Every few years we replace our laptops and FORTICLIENT installs easily on the newer replacement laptop.

Mr. Financial Services Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 12/15/2023 "Review for Forticlient" 5/5 What do you like best about FortiClient? FortiClient helps keep both my data and computer secure, making it an excellent tool for enhancing security. It is easy to install, and offers valuable features such as centralized management, a user-friendly interface, and FortiToken.

Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is FortiClient solving and how is that benefiting you? As a database user in a financial organization, I am responsible for handling a great deal of sensitive information, and Forticlient helps ensure a secure connection.
