FORTINET SUPPORT REVIEWS LICENSE
However, keep also in mind that the subscription license gives you also FortiCare support service which offers firmware updates, patches, hardware support etc in addition to other support features. If you don’t buy a subscription license you can still use the Fortigate box as a pure firewall device for network protection up to Layer 4 (including VPN for site-to-site and remote access, NAT, firewall policies etc). The above subscriptions are optional though. Moreover, there are four bundle categories of subscriptions (360 Protection, Enterprise Protection, UTM, Threat Protection) providing different levels of protection features as shown in the Table below:Īll license options above are available for purchasing with all Fortigate models that we will discuss in this article. The above license subscription comes in various flavours and time-length (1-year, 3-year, 5-year).
The FortiGuard subscription license gives you access to AI-driven security intelligence services such as App Control, Intrusion Prevention (IPS), Malware Protection, Antivirus, Web Filtering etc. Moreover, if you want to un-lock the real security benefits of Fortinet Next Generation Firewalls (NGFW) with advanced protections (which work at Application Layer 7), you will need to buy a recurring FortiGuard subscription license (optional). Fortigate Subscription Security LicensesĪll Fortigate firewalls run on the same FortiOS operating system which controls all security and networking features of the firewall devices.

On the other hand, if you have a 100Mbps WAN link (200 Mbps full-duplex), then you should be looking at the 60E model in order to accommodate full Threat Protection throughput.ĮDIT: The newest Fortigate 60F model can support 1Gbps Internet speed with full Next Generation Firewall (NGFW) features enabled. For that scenario, the 30E or 50E would be a great option. This means that Full-Duplex bandwidth would be 100-140 Mbps. I would suggest to take the lowest throughput rating on the datasheet (see also Table above) and use that as a soft rule of thumb.įor example, assume you have a small office network with around 50-70 Mbps WAN link (or ISP Internet link). It is generally better to select a model based on the traffic bandwidth usage, the WAN link speed and what security features you will have enabled on the device. The models above are compact fanless devices mainly used in branch office networks of large enterprises or in small to mid-size businesses (with up to around 50-60 users or more depending on traffic usage).
(NOTE: The only difference between 50E vs 51E and 60E vs 61E is that the 51E and 61E models include also an internal SSD disk drive for log storage). In this article I will compare and describe three popular entry-level Fortigate models, the 30E, 50E/51E and 60E/60F/61E. One of the characteristics of Fortinet in the hardware firewall market is that they have launched more than 40 different models of firewalls with varying specs and features to cover the whole range of industry needs.īeing a “security focused” company, their business model is just that: To cover every security need of companies, from SMBs up to larger Enterprises and Service Providers. UPDATE: Here is the newer and better Fortigate 60F with great specs and features. Best option for Small to Medium Size business.
