Check Point Harmony SASE vs. Fortinet Secure SD-WAN

I'd suggest that Perimeter81 is recommended when you want something that is easy to administrate, with little maintenance, unlike a VPN/secure network that you host and manage internally. We've had incidents when there has been downtime at Perimeter81, which has effectively locked us out of some of our secure services (anything locked down via IP). They have made improvements to their infrastructure and it seems to have improved in recent months, but this is something to keep in mind for critical connections

In the past Firewall and Traffic Routing tasks would have to be done on different interfaces, however, with Fortinet Secure SD-WAN all this is unified into one central console. We can get more productivity and also can optimize LAN & WAN IT Operations. We are also able to cut a lot of cost by moving from old MPLS technology to BB

As mentioned earlier, since all features are pretty much available in one console, it is very user friendly and it becomes very easy for the Admin to just drag and drop a Plugin or a Tool that is required to perform a specific task. It's one of the most well designed layout to be honest.

In the beginning, it was a bit rough getting it to work and getting any kind of quality support from customer service. But recently they really improved their service and customer service. I believe they raise 100M in new funding which provides them the resources to make a better product with better tools and a better help desk.
