The list is long. For us we have always been a Cisco & Mikrotik shop, but felt we were messing a piece of the security and firewall business. Mikoritk has a great firewall, but it is not active o what you would consider an Enterprise firewall. Cisco has a great firewall, but it is expensive and complex. We got involved with Fortinet through a client who needed support for several hundred units. Once we started dealing with Fortinet we quickly realized how powerful what they have built really is. The Unified Threat Management is very advanced and very scalable. There are several pieces that make it a true Enterprise solution like the Forti-manger, the Forti-analyzer etc. On top of that the Next Gen, IPS, VPN forwarding and processing is very impressive, and so are the management, the Virtual Domain, the HA config, the Clustering technology and so on. We also do a lot of virtual routing and their Fortigate-VM is very nice too. There is a reason these guys are growing so fast and are on the top of every security vendor list out there. Another thing is that they really vet their partners. One thing that I have noticed in the security industry is that if a IT guys says he/she is using a sonicwall, that is a potential red flag. +80% of the time they have no idea what they are doing. When someone says they are a Fortinet Partner, they have been through the proper training, been vetted and it is much more likely you are talking to someone who knows what they are doing.
