@reviewer1171122 I am a Cisco Academy Trainer. I would not use ASA and Java, simple as that. Fortinet most important feature as many others, lies that is the only thing in the market that has ASIC chips (semiconductors) that can handle traffic and inspection. It does not rely on its CPU so it does not choke when lots of policies are being added. I have FGT40 at home and CPU is idling at 1 per cent. I do have VoiP IP BX and mail servers and attacks galore, still holds. I had an ASA 5506 and got rid of it in 2 weeks. Had enough.
