The solution has definitely improved our efficiency as a company, since its VPN tool allows us to work from home or from any location. This was especially helpful during COVID. We don't have to be at the office to access the VPN. We can work from anywhere. It's made everything at work a lot more flexible.
Since there has been an increase of employees working at home, Fortinet FortiClient has given us a lot more control over the users and what they are browsing. We are able to restrict their activity to our Fortinet cloud only. With these controls in place - which includes control over which websites users can browse, what data can be transferred, which servers devices are allowed to connect with - our company remains secure. Fortinet FortiClient is helping us maintain the security of all our devices when they are not in the office.
We are able to enforce users to work with FortiClient only. If FortiClient is off, they cannot connect to the internet. This helps make things a lot easier for our IT and security teams.
I would say that this solution has very good scalability. Originally when we first set it up, we had a few dozen users connected with the VPN. But now we have hundreds of users that are able to connect using Fortinet FortiClient and they can securely access the network from outside our physical location. The performance has not suffered at all.
It is very simple to set up Fortinet FortiClient. With just a few clicks it was installed. In addition, FortiClient is a very stable and reliable product. Its performance is good. There are no bugs or glitches and I don’t remember it ever crashing or freezing.
Their technical support is good as well. I would say that they are knowledgeable and responsive. If we need assistance, we simply create a ticket. It's not hard to get a hold of them. We are quite satisfied with the level of support the solution offers.
Some of the main benefits of using Fortinet FortiClient for our company’s VPN solution include:
Security: We have excellent visibility into all our users' devices. Users can only access permitted servers and websites. We are also able to prevent data from being sent to sites we want to block.
Excellent stability: Fortinet FortiClient is very reliable. It does not crash
Scalability: We seamlessly scaled Fortinet FortiClient to support hundreds of VPN users and still have excellent performance.
Easy deployment: FortiClient can be up and running on your devices in just a few short clicks.
Knowledgeable customer support: The support team is responsive and well trained.
Here are few things that I feel could improve with this solution:
Reporting: The reports should be easier to set up and be automated.
Cost: It isn’t the most expensive solution but could be a bit cheaper.
Updates: It would be great if there were automatic updates.
I would recommend the solution to others, even for small businesses. If you are looking for a workable and stable solution, then Fortinet FortiClient is the way to go.
What is an enterprise VPN? An enterprise VPN (virtual private network) helps companies large or small to access their resources safely, regardless of where they are hosted - either locally or in the cloud. Sometimes known as cloud VPNs or VPNaaS (VPN as a service), enterprise VPNs protect an organization’s sensitive assets when employees need to access them using unfamiliar or unsafe wifi connections or are connecting via different unrecognized devices. Enterprise VPNs radically increase...
