"It's an ideal gateway solution for small and medium businesses, i.e., around 300 devices can be easily handled."
"It's a stand alone system that functions well."
"The setup is straightforward and hassle-free."
"The most valuable feature would be that you can actually narrow down your session to one application on one server, which is really nice."
"The product is easy to connect."
"The initial setup is easy."
"The initial setup is easy. Our clients use the FortiClient EMS, which is the central console for installing FortiClient. It is easy and very user friendly."
"From Forticlient, the EMS, the central management is easy to use."
"The stability is pretty good."
"The initial setup of this solution is easy."
"There is a lot of documentation available online."
"From my perspective as an end user, it's consistently stable, and I would rate the stability as a nine out of ten."
"What I find valuable in FortiClient is its patch management capabilities, allowing remote updates efficiently."
"There must be a more easy-to-use GUI."
"Reporting could be improved."
"There could be more security features included in the product."
"Barracuda should find other ways to stir up interest about this product."
"Since it's not going to be getting any more software updates as per the end of this year, we have to move off to a different product.."
"Compatibility issues between different versions."
"There isn't much to improve in terms of features and comparison with other vendors. It just needs to stay more up to date in catching the malware. The user interface may be improved, which would be a minor enhancement. Unlike central management, in endpoint security, the end users don't need to keep looking at the endpoint user interface. The technology is the most important thing in endpoint security."
"While we like patch management, it would be nice if it could handle patch management for other solutions, like Microsoft."
"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."
"Working with Distribution sometimes comes at a cost due to a lack of knowledge of the current status of your licensing and products."
"With the lower-end licenses, it tends to kick you out after eight hours. There is a function where it automatically kicks you out after eight hours. They could improve that and not kick you out after eight hours. Other than that, it is already pretty good."
"The features for application control and device control must be improved."
"One area that could be improved is cost, but you've got to pay for what you get."
