comparison with juniper

Hello, what exactly you' re looking for? Both vendor has different approaches to same requirement, so , to do a fair comparaison, it wiil be necessary define the area of application. Briefly, Fortinet goes for an all-in-one UTM approach firewall with some new dedicated appliances for specific needs i.e. fortiDB or fortiWeb. Juniper on opposite, deploy specific appliances for specific firewall needs and goes integrating some in UTM ones, but it seems that it' s not the main goal. That' s more evident with the new JunOS firmware (leaving behind the Netscreen ScreenOS). IMHO, Juniper don' t go for an UTM all-in-one firewall solution. regards,

If you send me a email, I' ll give you a comparisons doc that a cisco throw outs for comparisons of ASA, Juniper, Firewall and others. It' s very interesting evaluation and how they rate all others products. fortinet dot 1000gige dot net fwiw and imho For the most part juniper treat everything as zones and loves to use the trust and untrusted zone concepts. Also juniper has better module supports than what the fortigate offers. Performance number also seems to lean towards juniper for VPN traffic thru-put for similiar sized/priced appliances Juniper like cisco still works around a license model Juniper also seems to better support IPv6 from what I can tell j-care has better support just my observations

One thing on the comparisons, cisco really doesn' t even think about comparing their ASA55XX with the fortinet offerings http://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/collateral/vpndevc/ps6032/ps6094/ps6120/case_study_miercom080509.pdf
