The best investment in my opinion is the FortiGate 600E platform. 


It is less than half the price of the Palo Altos and the Ciscos with twice the feature set. We just replaced Cisco ASAs with the FortiGate and could not be happier with our decision. The 600E will support up to 10,000 SSL VPN users.

@Mike Hancock yes you are right waht you say on 200F  lient Need to consider Budget too  (Earlier Fortinet Claims 100F Supports 500 SSL Vpn) Now they Promoting 200F for 500 As Per Data Sheet

We have been using Fortinet for 3 years and find it to be a stable and secure system. Our largest user center has around 500 devices, as well as our Azure IaaS virtual firewalls, that handle the thousands of users connecting to our sites with no performance issues.

As Mike says, listen to him. I totally support Fortinet. It is not only what I say. 


I am a Cisco Academy Trainer and many things more....................forget ASA. Sorry, Cisco,


You need Fortinet, believe me, you do.


https://www.fortinet.com/conte...


The above link will give you an idea of the VPN features of many of them.


The new OS 7 is a real winner. I have one at home, yes, I do. That is how I test and see what is true and what is not. I used to have the ASA and got rid of it.


Fortinet is the ONLY company that has chips (hardware ASIC's = Application-Specific Integrated Circuits) that will never lie to users of the real throughput, and that is priceless, I think.

Hi Kumar,


For me, the best choice is without any doubt FG-400E which can support almost 5,000 SSL VPN users (maximum recommended in the tunnel mode) while benefiting from the SD-WAN comfort.

I could suggest the SonicWall NSa 2700. It supports a max of 500 SSL VPN clients. It sure supports SD-WAN.


Also, just a few weeks ago they launched a new solution directly on the Cloud called "Cloud Edge Secure Access". It allows access to any SaaS and can scale from 50 to 1000 users and it is easy to establish and use a new VPN protocol. I suggest trying ther free trial.

"1000 concurrents" ! that's tough, but I'm pretty sure Sophos UTM 9 can do the job!!

Under my previous link, I wanted to show you Untangle. It is not very popular but it is growing fast, can support 1000 users. Check it out: https://www.untangle.com/untan...   or https://www.untangle.com/compa...  

It Isn't limited to an appliance like Cisco (loosing terrain with Huawel) or Fortigate (too fancy and is loosing his north into all other integrations functionalities within devices into his gadgets), Monowall, PFSence or similar ones. 


It is time to get out of the traditional and see new choices.

Hope this helps.

Hi,


I have experience using Palo Alto VPN and Palo Alto Prisma access solutions. Both of them can easily scale up to 10.000 SSL concurrent users with proper links and HA solution.

SSL VPN
What is an SSL VPN? A secure sockets layer virtual private network is known as an SSL VPN.
