Fortinet Fortigate Performance

Competitive firewall testing is a process of evaluating and comparing the effectiveness of firewall products from different vendors. We tested the latest NGFW products from Fortinet and Palo Alto Networks.  These include the Fortinet FortiGate 200F and the Palo Alto Networks PA-460. These tests help to determine the vendors’ ability to protect against various cyber threats, such as malware, viruses, and hacking attempts.

The results of these tests are then used to compare the performance of different firewall products and to determine which vendor’s product is the most effective in detecting threats. We found Fortinet FortiGate 200F outperformed Palo Alto Networks PA-460 on all competitive performance metrics.  Firewall testing helps organizations choose the best solution for their needs by providing unbiased, objective data on the performance of competing products. It also helps vendors improve the effectiveness of their firewall solutions by providing them with feedback in areas needing improvement.
