In 2007 we migrated from a PIX to the Fortinet. Two years later we switched back to Cisco. Fortinet just didn¹t work as well as advertised. I agree with Nathaniel¹s post...you get what you pay for.

Folks, We¹re doing some firewall evaluations and was wondering if anyone has any input on Fortinet vs. Palo Alto. We¹re 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 doesn¹t. Any feedback (especially real-world experience) on either or both products would certainly be appreciated. Thanks Corbett Consolvo Texas State University
