FortiClient two flavours

Hello,

 

there are two versions of the FortiClient available. User based and device based where the first one is cloud based.

 

what are the main differences between the two and to which use cases are the two types more suitable)

 

Is there a comparison sheet available?

 

Please point me in the right direction.

 

BR

Thanks a lot. So the main difference is the EMS that requires a server. 

Great thanks
