Overall Satisfaction with Fortinet FortiGate
I am using the FortiNet FortiGate 60D Firewall as my main internet connection. Implementing this gave me faster networking throughput than I had with my previous device and easier security policy enforcement. The ability to create L2L VPN tunnels with this device made it a lot faster to configure/program.
- Configuration
- management
- flexibility
- publishing API
- automation support for legacy devices
- cleaner web ui.
- VPN tunnels
- ease of use
- migratable configuration
- New learning curve
- Lower TCO
- Easy to deploy
- Cisco ASA and Juniper SRX
Fortinet code configuration is a little bit cleaner, it has sub-modules for different components. One of the nice things about Juniper and pitfalls is that you drop out to the FreeBSD command line if there are any issues. Fortinet and Cisco do not have that capability. Ciscos still has some limitations on the hardware and software side.
