    Any organization with a robust IT support network and with 100+ users, all the way up to international conglomerates with millions of workers. The only situation I can see where it might be harder is if you have a very small business with limited technical know-how. Otherwise, it's honestly the no-brainer choice.

    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

    Fortinet
    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.

    After a lengthy vendor selection process we determined that CloudBridge was the best solution—although as always with demos it was difficult to tell if we'd really made the right decision. Since selecting CloudBridge—hough I have had lots of input from colleagues who use other systems—I feel very happy with our choice. The feature set alone is just far superior.
