Our company is evaluating firewall platforms for a refresh. Currently running Cisco ASA 5516-X but looking at next-gen options. Budget is moderate. Considering:nn- Cisco Firepower / FTDn- Palo Alto PA-400 seriesn- Fortinet FortiGate 100F/200FnnAnyone have experience comparing these? What would you recommend for ~500 users with 1 Gbps internet?
We switched from ASA to FortiGate 200F last year and have been very happy. The performance-to-price ratio is excellent. Management via FortiManager is solid too.
