Fortinet's Fortigate
firewalls offer strong security at a good price point, making them

firewall is the most practical and easily managed firewall I've ever
seen in my life. People complain that firewall operation is often
impractical.
FortiGate firewalls are
purpose-built with security processors to enable the industry's best
threat protection and performance for SSL-encrypted traffic. By
providing granular visibility of applications, users, and IOT
devices, these appliances are designed to identify issues quickly and

ASA firewalls offer superior protection from threats through CSC,
IPS and the like.
TCO
is reduced because of better pricing.
The
offered solutions deliver high performance levels, and can be scaled
to achieve 10+ Gbps.
New applications can
easily be deployed over secured layers.
Hello community,
I am a Network and Security Engineer at a small tech consulting company.
I am about to import the backup configuration file of my hardware-based FortiGate firewall onto my VM-based FortiGate firewall.
Can you please assist me with the procedure?
Thank you for your help.

Analyze the wave of product at Gartner Hype Cycle. EDR was good in the past. After that, MDR joined the hype and now, XDR is the trend. Wait for more in a couple of months and (sic) know the ZDR!

More than the products themselves and their capabilities, you must consider the support you get from their respective vendor.
In our case, we're a Cisco shop and have several Firepowers. We scan them for vulnerabilities or have FIPS as a requirement.
In some cases, the cipher settings for SSH or SSL are old and can't be updated to use ciphers that are a few years old.
Putting them in the FIPS mode can also create problems that Cisco isn't interested in fixing.
"Smart" licensing is also problematic as we don't technically allow the management plane of our infrastructure from accessing the public internet.
I'd recommend staying away from Firepowers.
Cisco Firepower is good
