[AusNOG] Fortigate | input/thoughts

[Richard Ham AusNOG]

Hi John,

I have used/administered multi-tennant (VDOM) based Fortigates for 7+ years
now and am as happy with them as I was after reading the marketing blurb
when I first assessed them against competitors. They are a solid unit and
features are aggressively upgraded from major firmware release to firmware
release. The Fortigate units are good at generalist firewalls/utm and do
well as generalist firewall/utm where as the Fortimail units or similar are
better as specific functions in filtering email etc.

I can't really comment about reporting as I haven't used the Fortianalyzer
units in the last 4 years.

Feel free to email me for specifics,

Thanks,

Richard

Hi all, 

I recall a few posts back there was talk of Fortinet/Fortigate as a
firewall. I am Looking at this product to fill a void and interested in the
opinions of others who use it in Mutli tenant scenarios with all the key
features (utm, ips/ids, correlation, reporting). If you could lend
experiences, thoughts etc it would be much appreciated., Off list of-course.


Hope all are having a good night and sorry for the disturbance.

PS: not interested in a sales person contacting me.

Many thanks

John in Sydney.
