Mi experiencia con Fortigate ha sido solida y consistente en distintos entornos( empresas medianas , multi sede y cloud hibrido). Fortigate ofrece protección integral en una única plataforma que combina inspección profunda de paquetes ,IPS, filtrado de aplicaciones, antivirus/antimalware, control de URLs y segmentación de red. Desde mi punto de vista destaca por su alto rendimiento incluso con inspección SSL/TLS habilitada, lo cual es crucial para las arquitecturas modernas donde la mayoría del tráfico está cifrado.Read all insights and reviews for FortiGate: Next Generation Firewall (NGFW)

Check Point Quantum feels powerful and reliable, with strong threat protection, but its setup is complex and the licensing a bit opaque. Overall experience is good, email protection provided by Quantum is not outstanding, quarantine management is a missing feature.Read all insights and reviews for Check Point Quantum

Cisco Meraki network devices are quick to configure and easy to manage. The dashboard itself is nice and I find it beneficial to have insight into all of my networks with aggregated and individual statistics. The dashboard is very user friendly, clean, and easy to navigate. Setting up a network or making changes is a breeze. The robust alerting options ensure I'm always up to date with what's going on within my network without having to login to the dashboard too often. I think Meraki is an excellent option for smaller to small-medium sized organizations or sites. However, the downside of such a simple to use platform is that it's lacking in more advanced features.
