Fortigate must be really expensive because the Cisco licenses are not cheap.

In the past I chosen the Fortigate and regretted it because the price of
annual licensing for proxy and app control is very expensive and not worth
it. I'm studying to switch to Cisco.

We’re a Palo Alto shop, so I could dive in there.



I guess the question is: What are you looking to get out of a NGFW? or
what is your business case for replacing you IPS and ASA’s?

I’ve finally been able to convince our leadership to pursue swapping out
our IPS and ASA’s for a set of next gen firewalls.  We are still in the
evaluation phase and as a part of our evaluations we are asked by senior
leadership to quert other universities to get a barometer of what is being
used.  If you would (and you can PM me) let me know if you have a NGFW and
what it is (not needing specifics)  It will help us with our decision.  The
3 we looked at were Palo Alto, Check Point, and Cisco Firepower.



Appreciate any responses in advance!



Best,



Jim
