What differentiates Fortinet FortiSASE from other similar products?

What differentiates Fortinet FortiSASE from other similar products is its comprehensive set of security capabilities, including a secure web gateway (SWG), universal zero-trust network access (ZTNA), next-generation dual-mode cloud access security broker (CASB), and Firewall-as-a-Service (FWaaS). With the single-vendor FortiSASE solution, you can overcome security gaps and minimize the attack surface with a consistent security posture.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

My favorite aspect of this product is the intelligent steering and dynamic routing via SD-WAN, which provides a superior user experience. Additionally, the FortiGuard Labs threat intelligence and FortiGuard AI-powered Security Services are a great feature that allows for proactive measures to better secure the organization.

What do you dislike most about this product?

What I dislike most about this product is that the initial setup can be complex and time-consuming.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

My recommendation for someone considering this product would be to weigh the cost against the level of security your organization needs. If you have a large, complex network with a lot of remote workers and multiple cloud networks, FortiSASE is definitely worth considering.
