Fortinet Firewalls

["Kellogg, Brian D." <bkellogg () SBU EDU>]

We currently run an old Pix firewall and it’s done the job well, but it’s time to retire it.  We are looking at 
Fortinet and Cisco ASA at the moment and are quite interested in Fortinet due to the its price and capabilities at that 
price point.  Would anyone be willing to share their experience with Fortinet firewalls and their tech support?  We are 
most interested in their VPN, both user and site to site; SSL VPN; virus scanning; and IPS features.

Suggestions of other vendors that can provide the same features are welcome as well.

 

 

Thank you,
