The excellent documentation is another benefit I believe merits highlighting. > > **Cons**: The authentication/login process is simple and quick, however it will automatically disconnect if your system is locked or idle for an extended period of time, and you will need to log in again using your credentials and authentication. Therefore, we must go through the login process several times per day, which is incredibly exhausting. > > Experience is good all around. In the past, we connected with global Protect, but Forti client is more user-friendly than it. ----- ### "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). ----- ### "FortiClient review" — 5.0/5 > **Haythum** | *29 July 2023* | Computer Networking | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: FortiClient offers a variety of security featuresFortiClient has a user-friendly interfaceintegrated with other Fortinet products > > **Cons**: limited customization and advanced options > > Due to my experience in the field of networks, it is considered the best option for protection and security ----- ### "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. ----- Page: 1 / 13\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/299571/forticlient?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/299571/forticlient) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
