FortiGate vs WatchGuard AuthPoint

• It is the most reliable NGFW that we have ever been touch with it.
• You can easily upgrade the firewall cluster firmware without user attention!!!
• User IDentity based feature is fantastic and intrusion prevention just works with least false-positive possible.
• Very reachfull and intuitive GUI, just love it

• Ease of use, the mobile app is very ease to use once set up.
• For companies that may have employees that are not comfortable using their personal smart phone for this MFA service, WatchGuard offers a hardware token solution. It's like a mini stop watch keychain that allows the MFA service to function without a smart phone.
• Setting up new MFA accounts is ease, you can simply scan a QR code or do a quick manual setup.

• When we switched to Fortinet Fortigate, it took some time getting used to and become familiar with the new interface. Being used to strictly command-line interfaces, a full GUI-based firewall was something brand new. Careful planning had to be done when creating rules to ensure we didn't miss anything. However, once we got used to the new GUI interface, going from one Fortinet product to another was simple, as Fortinet used the same interface for all of its devices.

• Remove the use of Java. I didn't like the dependence and it caused problems early on prior to me realizing what was happening.
• The addition of "operators" could be streamlined. I should be able to easily select an existing AuthPoint user to be added as an operator (i.e., one of my IT staff).
• The timeout graphic/visualization on the mobile app sometimes confuses users who think that something is wrong even after approving the notification.

• Fortigates have an interesting bundle model for support and subscription services that make it an attractive option to deploy Firewall, IDS, Ant-virus, anti-SPAM in a single device. The cost of the bundle is pretty much what you pay for the device, not requiring huge expenditures on it's time to renew the hardware.

• We believe the previous reporting and monitoring solutions took up significantly more time prior to AuthPoint.
• The time to activate for new staff is very quick and simple so no extensive training is required.
• It has opened up a cost-effective way to facilitate access to systems, which may previously have been out of budget for clients.
