Unlike other products, the FortiGate Cloud-Native Firewall has many features under one appliance. For example, you have only two interfaces with Cisco Meraki for SD-WAN, but with the FortiGate Cloud-Native Firewall, you can have multiple ports in one interface. The solution has some vulnerabilities, but the good thing is that whenever there are any vulnerabilities, you have a new patch within one or two weeks. They are improving their service and putting in more features. They are also improving the CPU and traffic part. People like the solution because it is reliable. Apart from that, the solution has been among the leaders in the Gartner report for more than four to five years.

Before offering a firewall solution, we assess the site, service, and customer requirements. Then, we determine the project scope and the available funds to buy a firewall. Some customers need a big firewall with high performance and certain specific features that FortiGate might not have. They have good performance, capacity, and scalability, but FortiGate may need adjustments to meet some customers' very high requirements. For example, some carriers prefer another kind of fiber instead of FortiGate because they have customers covered by it. If you're seeking a Firewall with robust performance at a more affordable price point, I recommend FortiGate. Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

"The important part of FortiGate CNF is the UPM. It has a significant impact on the network by providing additional attributes such as a binder filter. This feature is very beneficial."
