Your right, I have worked with Watchguards in the past and like them, same
as PIX/Sonicwall/Netscreen etc
However, the Fortinet offering really gives you a complete border solution
at a fraction of the cost of anything else and because its ASIC based it
outperforms most other boxes too. The interesting thing is that they are
very similar to Netscreen boxes, the guy who founded netscreen actually left
to start fortinet. A fortinet solution is usually a fraction of the cost of
Watchguard with similar features..
Check them out..im sure you'll be impressed
Cheers
John
