Fortinet vs. Palo Alto

["Consolvo, Corbett D" <cc72 () TXSTATE EDU>]

Folks,
  We're doing some firewall evaluations and was wondering if anyone has any input on Fortinet vs. Palo Alto.  We're 
looking at them for multi-Gb installations (perimeter, data center, possibly dorms) and my impression is that Palo Alto 
is more polished but Fortinet looks to be less expensive as well as providing some features (such as vulnerability 
assessment and chassis versions) that Palo Alto doesn't.  Any feedback (especially real-world experience) on either or 
both products would certainly be appreciated.

Thanks
