FortiClient Likes & Dislikes
Endpoint posture checking and ZTNA tagging are exceptional. The ability to dynamically grant or revoke access to internal resources based on the real-time health of the machine gives us incredible confidence in our endpoints.
ease of setup installing the VPN and and a profile is easy to do and quick Connecting to the service is simple and links to a users domain account fixes for issues are relatively simple to do
App seems to drop extremely rarely, even on weaker connections. The amount of tools featured in just one app makes for a nice experience. Lightweight on devices and doesn't take too much resources from the computer.
Implementing full SSL Deep Packet Inspection across a diverse fleet can be highly abrasive. While its capabilities are strong, managing the certificate trust chains and handling application-specific certificate pinning often results in broken web applications that require constant whitelisting.
Frequent disconnects with no clear error explanation often requiring network resets etc can install duplicate drivers causing network issues limited troubleshooting
If the app breaks, uninstalling and reinstalling is like pulling teeth. You also generally need to reconfigure the app as it wipes out prior saved data. The console that controls everything is a little overwhelming to learn from the sheer amount of options.
