Publisher's Description

From Fortinet:

FortiClient 5 for Mac OS X is a free endpoint protection suite that includes malware/virus detection, parental web control, and VPN. Malware is detected using updated threat intelligence and definitions from Fortinet's FortiGuard Labs. Parental control offers a simple and effective way to block malicious and explicit web sites. VPN configuration allows quick and easy secure, remote access via IPSec or SSL protocols.

FortiClient 5 leverages FortiClient's Antivirus technology, developed in-house by Fortinet. FortiClient Antivirus has achieved more than twenty VB100 awards and is capable of detecting threats on both a reactive and proactive basis. Proactive detection is based on detecting zero-day malware that has never been seen before in the wild.

FortiClient 5 is an enterprise class suite designed for the world's largest enterprise environments including Fortune 1000 companies, federal and state agencies, and customers that require the ultimate in a fully modular protection suite capable of power beyond Antivirus.

FortiClient 5 is fully integrated with FortiGate, FortiManager and FortiAnalyzer for management, deployment and central logging/reporting.

"Intrusive, overbearing"

chrisw201 February 26, 2015 / Version: FortiClient 5.0.5

Pros

Allows Mac users to connect to corporate proprietary Fortigate and Fortinet VPNs

Cons

Tries to be more than a VPN client, unnecessarily inserts itself into the OS start up utilities, includes unwanted, unneeded and over-protective web filtering and constantly interrupts you with notifications that it has updated itself. On one of my 2 Macs it inexplicably and infuriatingly drops the connection every few minutes. Looks and behaves like a Windows port not something intended for Mac.

Summary

Wish I did not need this to connect to my work. I would gladly dump it.

"Happy to be rid of it"

Pros

It might be good at blocking viruses, but there's no way to know

Cons

The parental controls seem to have been preset by some right-wing Christian extremist and I was unable to change the settings. I mean, come on — "alternative beliefs" (as beneficial and innocuous as meditation) are harmful to children? Hello? Many good and uplifting sites were blocked and it's a pain to send a message for each one. If I remember correctly, guns and war games were allowed! Now that's something I would have been more inclined to block.
