Reviewer Insights for: Fortinet Universal ZTNA
Performance of Fortinet Universal ZTNA Across Market Features

Fortinet Universal ZTNA Likes & Dislikes

Like

Strong security enforcement, smooth integration with Fortinet products, and reliable performance across users and devices.

Like

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.

Like

What I like most about FortiClient ZTNA is its ability to enforce Zero Trust principles in a very practical way. Every user must be authenticated with MFA and meet security guidelines (to ensure end user device has required security compliance as per our policy), every session will be reviewed against these principles to ensure security is never compromised.

Dislike

Occasional configuration complexity, dependency on consistent policy alignment across devices, and some features that require fine-tuning to optimize performance

Dislike

latency when access the resource via vpn feel too slow, if it adds low internet speed it will be more difficult in troubleshooting session.

Dislike

The availability of public documentation is somewhat limited. However, once we engaged with the local Fortinet team, we were able to access the required learning resources, which helped us build the right skills and manage operations effectively.

    FortiClient ZTNA Balances Network Security and Performance with Reliable Stability

    Aug 30, 2025
    We have been using FortiClient ZTNA for secure remote access to our corporate applications and internal network. Over time, we have seen the solution mature with improved stability and performance. It provides us with the right balance between strong security controls and a consistent user experience. Even with the Zero Trust model in place, our end-users can connect to business applications reliably without facing disruptions. This has helped us support both regular employees and third-party contractors in a secure way, which was one of our key requirements.

    Fortinet ZTNA Provides Layered Security and Reliable Access for Critical Internal Applications

    5.0
    Aug 30, 2025
    We have been using the Fortinet ZTNA solution within one of our critical business units to provide secure and reliable private access to business critical applications. These applications require a strong Zero Trust approach to ensure they remain protected from cyber risks. With Fortinet ZTNA, we have implemented multiple layers of the Zero Trust Framework for every session - monitoring, tracking and verifying access from pre-authorization through authentication to post-authentication security. In the event of any intrusion attempt to any session, the solution effectively blocks or isolates the threat to keep access safe.

    Secure Connection and Smooth Access Experience With Fortinet ZTNA Solution Features

    5.0
    Aug 30, 2025
    I use the Fortinet ZTNA solution to securely access our corporate applications, and I'm very satisfied with its overall performance and stability. This solution requires me to use MFA for authentication and ensures that my system hygiene is always up to date in line with our cyber security guidelines. I also receive timely notifications whenever there is a known vulnerability in my installed software or system, which helps me stay updated with the latest versions and reduces exposure to risks.

    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.
