In terms of features, each product has its pros and cons. Fortinet FortiGate offers some great features, but it is a little more complex and needs better reporting.

In a competition, Dansk Skoleforening decided on our recommended Fortinet solution that we delivered to a satisfied customer in the area of education.
FortiGate all day long. Sophos bought Cyberoam several years ago and basically put a prettier GUI on it. So, you really are getting a Cyberoam with the Sophos GUI. There are some other additions; but I don't all our Sophos device a few years ago.

I prefer Fortinet's products, because their security products are more complete, which can better link and facilitate future expansion.
