Fortinet

Hello,

I was just wondering what experience members of this group have with
Fortinet firewalls. I just
had my the last of my Fortigates broke down. We had 3 F50's, 2 F500's
and 2 F100's. None
of them is over 3 years old and now all of them have broken down at
least once.

As I am quite tired of the lack of both hardware and software stability
of these firewalls, not
to mention the worst support I ever experienced, I would appreciate any
comments and possible recommendations on replacing (or continuing).

Thanks,

Geert

well ,it looks like you already decided.
I have no experience with fortinet, but I will add your review to my 'alert' list, in the back of my head.

as posted many times,
choosing a firewall depends on many factors,
mostly your network topology, budget and security requirements.

we use sonicwall/netscreen for SME's, Pix and checkpoint for medium/large corporations


just my 2cent.
