ZTNA of idea to limiting the access to resources from outside, clear and visibility of user access and application segmentation, cannot continue the connection for long period time.

Some of the best features from this solution package are Vulnerability Assessment & Management - gives the patching options (both Manual & Automated) as well as to validate the higher level of Security posture along with Certificate / Registry Keys / and any other Preliminary Checks which we have configured for each user category based on team / department. This majorly helps us in avoiding another Agent / Application on User Machines which highly helps in Resource Utilization and as a System Administrator I feel this also makes sense in extending the hardware Life Cycle by having less number of Agents on User Machines. Another feature I like most is On-Off Fabric (Network) detections, which drives the Internal and Internet traffic through On-Premises Firewall and Local Policy Control respectively.

Dislike

While our overall experience with Fortinet Universal ZTNA has been very positive, we have had a few issues with the One area where we see room for for improvement is the initial deployment and configuration process, which can be complex and may require a steep learning curve for teams unfamiliar with Fortinets ecosystem. More streamlined onboarding tools, clearer documentation or guided setup options could help accelerate time to value, especially for smaller IT teams. Additionally, real-time troubleshooting tools within the ZTNA interface could be more user friendly to assist with faster resolution of access issues when they arise.

I haven't found anything as such for now. Service is also perfect and we have not had many issues as they follow SLA. Maybe the Reports options they can enable us to fine tune by ourselves.

    FortiClient ZTNA Provides Integrated Security Without Extra Connectors or Agents Required

    5.0
    Aug 11, 2025
    FortiClient ZTNA is one of the best solutions we have in our Organization's Security Portfolio as we have complete control on User - Servers - Applications Access 24/7. As it is integrated with the existing FortiGate Next Generation Firewall, making us to avoid any other Servers / Connectors to be deployed like other Zero Trust Network Access Solutions we validated during the PoC period, which is our mandatory process before selecting the Product / Vendor in our organization. We have integrated with our Active Directory Services, On-boarding of users / Endpoints became super easy with a single click. The solution supports Agentless ZTNA Option which is helping us in accommodating the Third-Party Vendors who were not installing any additional software on their machines.

    We are already having FortiGate Next Generation Firewall and were in search of Zero Trust Network Access Solution for our Organization Network to protect the Critical Assets from External THREATS including Internal users and after validating the features we are satisfied with the solution and finalized the Vendor and Solution on Fortinet's FortiClient ZTNA. This will help our team to secure the Organization Network and Applications.

    Comprehensive Visibility and Control for Remote Access and Application Management

    5.0
    Aug 12, 2025
    Seriously, this solution made our job easier and gave a better user experience than the traditional VPN solution. Also, increased the Security Coverage in terms of Remote Users and Critical Internal Assets. Core Advantages of the solution I will mention are Complete Visibility and Control of User Machines and Access to Applications and Services, Simple Integration with existing FortiGate Next Generation Firewall which made us to skip additional deployment of any other Virtual Machines as Connectors, Simple On-boarding of Users & Endpoints through AD integration. This includes the Agentless ZTNA solution as well for 3rd Party Users from our Vendor Side. So, considering the above points (including Vulnerability Management), FortiClient is one of the powerful Security solutions we have in our Organization.

    FortiClient EMS Enables Streamlined Access and Visibility Across Multiple Locations

    5.0
    Aug 22, 2025
    It feels truly exceptional when it comes to customization and acceptability. We started with Controlled VPN like Auto-Connect VPN, Network Lockdown (another feature we are very much happy to ensure that Users are not bypassing the Auto-VPN Connect) and URL Filtering to have control on the Internet Access of Users when they are working from Home / Remote. Later, we migrated to ZTNA after evaluating along with a few other Vendors. Here, we have multiple FortiGate Firewalls in multiple plant and Branch locations, where we can integrate with FortiClient EMS (Management Portal) within minutes and simultaneously users can access the resources in any branch location. On the other hand, we have one more cloud account where FortiGate Firewall was not there initially, but still ZTNA over IPSEC VPN feature supported to have the seamless Access. The other one was the Vulnerability Assessment and Management feature which helped us avoid investing again on another solution to procure, deploy, manage and operate. This made our work simplified. The best part was, integration with the existing FortiAnalyzer VM to get built-in reports and Dashboards, even the FortiClient EMS based dashboard also helped us a lot in terms of visibility.
