It would normally take us a handful of days to install one FortiGate instance on one site. But with this technology, zero-touch deployment, we need just one hour or maybe as little as 30 minutes to install one site. It is much more efficient.
Fortinet FortiManager offers centralized management with features like zero-touch provisioning, firewall policy uniformity, and SD-WAN integration, enhancing network scalability and manageability. However, it faces challenges such as complex implementation, high pricing, weak third-party integration, performance issues managing SD-WAN and large policies, and frequent, unstable updates. The combination of benefits and challenges makes it more suitable for enterprises rather than small to medium-sized organizations.
