		Pros & Cons from Real Users Pros Easy to use Add profiles and connect with convenience Doubles as a remote connection tool Configuration can be saved Frequent updates FortiClient offers very effective protection for threats and vulnerability. It also offers real-time analytics and status. From the usage point of view, it's a very intuitive platform. VPN service is also included. Lightweight application. Easy configuration. Always up mode allows quick automatic re-connection in case of network issues. Available on Linux as well. Cons No mobile app ( that i am aware of ) and the UI of the desktop app is quite old. It's a great endpoint security tool for any business. If you have multiple connections, credentials can be saved for only one.
