In my last job our firwall was fortigate 60f, it's a perfect product and there's no issue with it it must get 10/10 but when i tried to add other site to the same network they asked me to by a new one and pay for annually for tow products, so i switched to sophos and because this the product will get 9/10 sorry about that
What do you dislike about the product?
That i must buy another product to add a new site, and it will cost a new annual payment.
