I find the Checkpoint GUI to be much more intuitive and easier adapt to for new users. I have found the FortiWifi-60D able to keep up with the load but at times does peak in CPU and Memory.Ī major difference between Fortinet and Checkpoint is their GUI. We average 90GB of internet traffic a month. In my home we have 3 sometimes 4 occupants running games and/or streaming video constantly. I have all the blades configured and enabled. I have a FotiWifi-60D for my home and it works quite well. These are the lower end units and I would not recommend them for a solution involving the number of product blades/features you have listed. A comparable unit would be a Fortinet FG-30D. This is a standalone unit and is in the $500.00 - $800.00 range. When mentioning this I immediately think of the UTM-1N (old Model) or 620 (New Model). In your question you mention CheckPoint UTM. When central management with datacenter and enterprise sized firewalls are required you will find Checkpoint is the leader. Fortinet is a major winner in their smaller units and provide the most bang for your buck. When comparing the two vendors there a clear separation in which product focus is clear. In terms of feature set the two products are nearly identical. I have to say Fortinet has come a long way in the last few years and am beginning to like their product more and more. I recently participated in a 2 day meeting with sales and engineers with Fortinet. At this point in time all of the major firewall vendors marketing Next-Gen firewalls provides similar features.
