We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The solution has good performance.""It's an ideal gateway solution for small and medium businesses, i.e., around 300 devices can be easily handled."

More Netgate TNSR Pros →

"For our clients with remote sites and deployed firewalls, the filtering and authentication features are very helpful.""It’s easy to use.""The product is user-friendly.""The solution is very scalable. It just depends on the number of licenses an organization has. The enterprise management console is related to the number of clients, and the client interface itself is free to download.""The most valuable feature of Fortinet FortiClient is dual authentication and the VPN is secure.""The return on investment was very reasonable. It was low cost and it functioned, so the return on investment was excellent.""Compared to other similar solutions, it is faster in connecting.""The integration of VPN services with endpoint security is valuable."

"The technical support team provides good services and faster response times."

More Ivanti Tunnel Pros →

Cons
"There must be a more easy-to-use GUI."

More Netgate TNSR Cons →

"Its stability can be improved. It is not as reliable as I would like it to be. There are times when things don't work quite right. Our biggest pain point is not related to Fortinet FortiClient and the whole scheme of things. It is related to one of the additional services called FortiGuard. They are the arm that does all of the updates to definitions, keeps all the signatures updated, and responds to new threats and whatnot. What we have found is that they react quickly, but sometimes their solutions aren't compatible with all of the components of the Fortinet security suite, specifically around FortiSandbox.""We've had some problems with having to remove the current version and either reinstalling an old version or updating to the new one.""The reports could be easier to set up.""The user interface could be more inviting.""It would be extremely useful to have an automatic updating feature.""The solution could be more secure. I would like to see more safety features.""The licensing feature of the product requires improvement since whenever the license expires, the tool logs out its users automatically, irrespective of whether they are on the network or not, which can be problematic for me.""When we change our endpoint, we have to connect again, which means having to enter our credentials and permissions."

    FortiClient is a fabric agent that delivers endpoint protection, endpoint compliance, and secure access in a single, lightweight, lightweight client, providing visibility, information, and control to your endpoints. In addition, it enables secure, remote connectivity to the security fabric. It also integrates network and endpoint with segmentation and automation.

    The FortiClient fabric agent can:

    • Report on the status of a device, including firmware version and applications running.
    • Send all suspicious files to a fabric sandbox.
    • Enforce USB control, application control, URL filtering, and firmware upgrade policies.
    • Provide application firewall service and malware protection.
    • Enable devices to connect securely to the security fabric over either ZTNA tunnels or VPN (IPsec or SSL), both encrypted. The connection to the security fabric can be either a SASE service or a FortiGate next-generation firewall.

    Zero Trust security - The ZTNA edition enables both VPN and ZTNA encrypted tunnels, as well as USB device control and URL filtering.
    Endpoint security - The EPP/APT edition adds AI-based NGAV (next-generation antivirus), application firewall, endpoint quarantine, and support for cloud sandbox.

    Reviews from Real Users:

    PeerSpot users like that FortiClient is easy to use and integrates well with other solutions. They also appreciate the richness of its features and find it to be inexpensive in comparison to other products that require separate purchases for separate features.

    Maintaining user privacy is critical to the success of any mobile enterprise. But user privacy isn’t just limited to personal apps and content on the device; it extends to the network as well. That means IT must be able to secure traffic from enterprise apps without capturing personal traffic, such as a user posting a family photo on Facebook. As a result, protecting employee privacy requires IT to move beyond device-wide VPNs to more secure, intelligent, and granular app VPNs.
