Pros & Cons

Simplifies security management by converging multiple functions like VPN, ZTNA, and NGAV into a single, lightweight agent.
Delivers a more secure and consistent remote experience using Zero Trust principles with conditional access and verification.
Uses the Dynamic Security Fabric Connector to enforce security policies and automate compliance based on endpoint posture checks.
Utilizes AI and machine learning in its antivirus and URL filtering services to protect against unknown and advanced threats.
Reduces the need for manual intervention with features like vulnerability auto-patching and automated endpoint response/quarantine.

Relies heavily on the Fortinet Security Fabric (e.g., FortiGate, FortiClient EMS) for full functionality and management.
Central management requires FortiClient EMS or FortiClient Cloud, introducing another component to the infrastructure.
As a converged, modular agent with multiple security functions, it may have a higher resource footprint on the endpoint.
Integration with the Fortinet Security Fabric may make it difficult to adopt non-Fortinet products for other security functions.
Maximizing the benefits of XDR, ZTNA, and the Security Fabric requires specific training and expertise in the Fortinet ecosystem.
