"It is very easy and useful. A normal user with basic information can easily connect to any environment."
"This solution makes it easier to work from home."
"The solution has inexpensive scalability, works very well and can communicate with other Fortinet devices."
"It is a fantastic product. Its overall security is valuable. We are very impressed with the web filtering and the application firewall it provides."
"The most valuable feature of Fortinet FortiClient is its performance."
"It is a scalable product."
"It's easy to use, easy to deploy, and I have more visibility over my network that shows which users are connected to the firewalls, which users are connected to the network, and what they're accessing."
"We find the VPN features valuable."
"Scaling Perimeter 81 was easy to do."
"Perimeter 81 is very pretty."

"Our operators can work from home without any problems."
"It has provided a seamless gateway to much-needed platforms."
"The setup is really easy...I rate the support team a ten out of ten."
"It is a scalable solution."
"SD-WAN is one of the primary solutions offered by Perimeter 81."
"There must be a more easy-to-use GUI."
"For buying or deploying it with additional features, apart from VPN client, web security, or antivirus, I would like to see the USB key blocking function included in this solution for endpoint security. For endpoint security, you need antivirus and all of the features included in antivirus software these days, web security, and USB key locking feature. If it is implemented in a way that in one package, you have all the primary features needed for security these days, it would be nice. All of those features will probably be additionally charged as it is a web security feature on FortiClient."
"We'd like to see a deployment wizard to help implementation become streamlined."
"The features for application control and device control must be improved."
"FortiClient is not communicating with the new version of the firewall."
"The user interface on the central server could be improved."
"The solution requires skillful users."
"Technical support needs to determine priority level based on the cases rather than the support package bundle."
"The pricing could use improvement."
"One of the more negative experiences using Perimeter 81 is the fact that I am logged off after a pre-determined amount of time which cuts off access to some of my company's resources."
"I'd love to learn more about all of the features. Maybe a monthly spotlight of features or having a banner that explains more ways certain features could be used would be helpful."
"If I were to be nitpicky, I would ask that Perimeter 81 offer the option for us to change the color of the graphical user interface, like maybe pink or green or so on."
"There is a very small amount of downtime."
"I have found that the log-in/out process takes quite some time."
"Offering in-app explanations detailing what each feature does, its benefits and potential use cases can help users better understand and utilize the tool to its full potential."
"What would be useful would be a notification/warning that a session is due to timeout after exceeding the default connection limit."
"Its initial setup process is complex for a hybrid environment."
