FortiClient VPN Customer Insights

1. Let me know what you need from me to help get this fixed.Please allow choosing the browser with Single Sign On enabled! In our work profiles we have no Chrome browser installed, only Edge, and this does not allow forticlient vpn with single sign on enabled to connect, as it requires Chrome (and this cannot be changed)Can't be used in Chrome OS.

2. This could be more beautiful.Doesn't seem to have the auto-connect feature the legacy client does, the ability to get directly to the Android WiFi and app settings menu's in-app causes security problems for kiosk devices that are locked to operating only a few apps.

3. You should never remove functionality without good reason and security holes in an app that is primarily used for business and corporate users is a huge issue.rubbish,cant even install,complicated and timeconsuming.Works well, but can tweak a few spot to be excellent.

4. I think it used to save username in a previous version but not anymore.FortiNet VPN using FortiToken on a FortiGate firewall.

5. I get disconnections all the time and I don't even realize it for a while.additionally the ability to save username and password would be useful.

6. It worked about 6 months ago but stopped working last fall after the app was updated.Fortinet is too big to make an app like that.

7. Since the last update the app crashes with the initial message to enable unrestricted battery usage.

8. I use Android 13 and have the latest version of FortiClient.

9. It could be greatly improved if it gave a notification upon disconnect and an option to reconnect.

10. I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 9 w/the latest, released OS.

11. Less important but still irritatingly the app can only be exited by pressing the home button rather than tapping back repeatedly.
