The ability to launch third-party software is one of the best features because of the variety of software available. For me, it's one of the best ones.
FortiGate Cloud-Native Firewall (FortiGate CNF) offers scalability, advanced threat protection, and third-party software integration, which enhance variety and flexibility. While its SD-WAN capabilities effectively manage traffic, and its cost-effectiveness is noted, deployment complexity and expensive perception detract. Additional attributes provided by UPM impact network benefits, yet support and SSL certificate issues need improvement. Network instability and perceived high costs complicate its value proposition despite unified licensing.
