For a very long period, it has been in use

What differentiates Fortinet Fortigate NGFW from other similar products?
For the UTM, there was a web-based administration interface that was straightforward to use without any knowledge. But the configuration of the CLI terminal is necessary in order to do a full job. The installation of a WiFi network allowed for the removal of cables and plants, as well as the reduction of costs.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
With Fort WiFi 60D, FortiGate is used. Since the FortiGate 60D has a WiFi network, Fortinet (stability, security) comes into play. I was certain that the FortiGate procedure could be managed well, but I was wrong. We were able to save money by purchasing only the features we needed.
What do you dislike most about this product?
The settings panel, in my opinion, is a bit difficult to understand. As with most network-related applications, the text is quite small. As a result, I'm a little disappointed in some of the subtleties.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
For example, you may build a wireless network using FortiGate by purchasing only the licenses you need. Cost-effectiveness comes from being able to choose and choose the most critical characteristics such as UTM while creating an environment. We don't need to reboot the system because it's been working fine for a long time without any problems. It was recommended for purchase by an Internet firm. Administrators may easily access the system through the web (networking skills required). The router's and firewall's functions are perfect.
