"All of the features of Fortinet FortiGate are useful and the security protection is good."
"The product offers very good security."
"The most valuable feature is the policy routing and application control."

"Particularly good in the DPI where we can inspect inbound and outbound traffic."
"The VPN connectivity feature is really nice."
"The absolute best part of Sangfor NGAF is their support. It's a 24/7 support channel, and the last time I requested their assistance I got a reply within three minutes. They helped solve the problem immediately."
