Product discussed: Version 6.2.2
Powerful management for deploying configuration to multiple environments with a single click

Pros

"It would normally take us a handful of days to install one FortiGate instance on one site. But with this technology, zero-touch deployment, we need just one hour or maybe as little as 30 minutes to install one site. It is much more efficient."

Cons

"Troubleshooting for Fortinet products is more difficult than competing products like Cisco and Palo Alto."

Great pricing, good support, and very customizable

Pros

"Setup, setting policies, and reporting were all very easy. We had no issues whatsoever getting the solution up and running. "
