Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Alert Logic at 5.0 against FortiClient's 2.9. Alert Logic also leads on monetization model (free vs freemium) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). FortiClient's advantage is ratings volume (102 vs 2) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
