What is your favorite aspect of this product?
My favorite aspect of this software belonging to Fortinet is that thanks to its integration with other Fortinet software such as FortiSandbox Cloud it is possible to analyze the endpoints in real time and in case of finding unusual behavior in them they can be isolated from the others to avoid that the endpoints that are free of vulnerabilities do not get infected, on the other hand, the one that has a simple and centralized administration uses this that thus saves time and it is possible to focus on other activities, in addition to the one that provides a secure remote access it not only acts as a vulnerability manager but also as a VPN.

What differentiates FortiClient from other similar products?
This FortiClient software differs from others because it provides excellent behavior-based vulnerability detection capability which helps protect against even zero day attacks, integrates endpoints so that you can detect early, and thus provide responsiveness. real time in the face of events such as zero day attacks, in addition to the visibility it provides allows that in the event of any presence of affected endpoints they can be quarantined so that they do not affect those that are well and an outbreak does not occur, on the other hand protects companies in remote access, that is, access from any location is safe thanks to its VPN.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
My favorite aspect is that it is not a software that only relies on the protection of endpoints at the enterprise level but also maintains secure remote access and offers solutions against infected endpoints which helps to prevent the enterprise system from being destabilized by an outbreak, it is also easy to configure software so it does not require much time before such a process.
What do you dislike most about this product?
Your connection is somewhat slow on Windows or Mac computers, so this may cause the protection to be not as effective at that time, it also consumes resources on the computer, making the computer slower when faced with other activities.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
It is essential for the protection of endpoints and remote access, however evaluating its efficiency on business computers would be a good point since this way you will be able to know if it runs without any problem and does not slow down the computer.
