Cyber Monday hint: Freemium offerings
Fortinet has many freemium offerings, including FortiGate, FortiManager, FortiAnalyzer and more.
Of course they have no covering of either FortiGuard subscription or tech. support, but a lot is still included:
| Freemium product (permanent trial) | What's in it (i.e. what it manages) | Link |
| FortiGate VM | 3 interfaces, firewall policies, and routes | Admin Guide |
| FortiManager VM | 3 devices / VDOMs | License Guide |
| FortiAnalyzer VM | 3 devices / VDOMs 1 GB/day of logs + 500 GB storage | License Guide |
| FortiLAN Cloud | free subscription for FortiLAN Cloud 30 FortiAPs 3 FortiSwitches | User Guide |
| FortiPresence | 1 free site 15 FortiAPs | Release Notes |
So even if you just maintain a FortiGate cluster and a remote FortiGate, there's no reason to manage them locally because a FortiManager VM + FortiAnalyzer VM is freely available to manage them centrally!
