"The best way to communicate securely and reliably remotely"
5/5
What do you like best about FortiClient?

This program is an effective way to access and work with the internal network remotely from anywhere, making it possible to handle company matters after each trusted authentication. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FortiClient?

The program still needs further development to make it easier to use overall. Also, the process of linking it with the firewall could be improved so it’s smoother, clearer, and more straightforward. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Effortless VPN for Remote Teams"
4/5
What do you like best about FortiClient?

I like that with FortiClient, you just need a stable WiFi connection along with your PC to connect to the software and have network access at your fingertips. It allows our remote users to be connected to our network as if they were in the office, which makes it seamless for them to work on anything. The initial setup was easy too, taking less than a day to install via Intune policy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FortiClient?

If you do not have internet connection you can't connect to the software and therefore troubleshooting that issue makes it tough on the IT team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"FortiClient keeps me in touch."
4.5/5
What do you like best about FortiClient?

What I appreciate most about FortiClient is how simple it is to set up on a mobile device. I frequently use it when working from home or while traveling, and I never experience issues with losing my work connection. Another feature I like is that it offers 10 free user licenses, which is perfect for situations where I only need access for a few people or locations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FortiClient?

I really have no complaints at all. If I had to mention something, perhaps they could consider offering more free licenses, but that's the only suggestion I have. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Effortless Remote Connectivity with FortiClient"
4/5
What do you like best about FortiClient?

I like FortiClient's ability to connect from outside the office as if I were inside, which is really convenient. The Citrix sessions on the same EMS server work great, making everything seamless. I'm a fan of FortiClient and think it does a great job for us. The initial setup was easy and took less than a day with Intune to push out to our PCs, so that made the process even smoother.

What do you dislike about FortiClient?

the product is great and I do not dislike anything regarding it Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
