![]() If you are worried about security, then at a minimum for a small site look at the 100e, but with as many servers as you mentioned look at the 200e. If you are only worried about through put and not security, then the smaller units will do a really good job for you. We have a long history of deploying all the way back to the 200A series. #Fortinet fortigate 100e series#We have a lot of 50e, 60e, 100e and 200e out replacing much larger/legacy C and D series FortiGates. We also fully manage and monitor our customer deployments, so we live with our sizing decision. The Fortinet 5.4 OS has matured and is very stable, the 'e' generation has just been awesome for us and our customer deployments. I am concerned that if you truly want to enable a lot of security features that the Fortinet 100e maybe a little small, at least go up to the 200e. Best of luck with what you finally choose. Sure bullets can cover ground fast, but the bulldozer always gets more done when when it makes the same trip. ![]() Many of us that have been doing this for some time prefer bulldozers over bullets when it comes to security and "flavor of the week" product offerings. ![]() Many that rise quickly, also seem to fall just as fast. Year upon year Sophos continues to make steady progress with Gartner and other tech info sources, and I caution those that depend on their upper right hand quadrant recommendations. Flashy ads in US trade magazines are pretty, but I prefer their approach of putting more money into product development than marketing. ![]() No, they are not a household name and really have a greater presence in Europe and Asia, but they are a serious player and should not be underestimated. I am yet to experience the "now that we have you, here comes the pain" approach other vendors use on their long term customers - think Smartnet and other escalating services here. They make the initial purchase and deployment pain-free, the day to day "care and feeding" of their products is simple, and they are highly competitive when it comes time for subscription renewals. I just started my second DECADE using Sophos solutions and they never disappoint from start to finish. And in a small to medium size business, their value proposition is second to none. When these devices are paired up with Sophos Endpoint + Intercept X you will have a comprehensive security solution that is difficult to beat. We just entered our 3rd year with two Sophos XG 310's (active/passive) and we could not be happier. ![]()
