Hello everyone , 

 

I want to know the number of users each model can support based on your experience.

I know that sizing must be based on other metrics: use cases, activated licenses, ISP throughput, interface configuration, etc...

 

But , The number of users can give an idea of ​​the size of the environment, so I want to know how to relate the number of users to the range of fortigate models that might be suitable. I then use these metrics to determine the best model among the other models in this iteration.
I'm talking about the F and G series.

 

Thanks for your support

Regards

Hi Imad

As you said this is not related to number of users. The main criteria is throughput, using or not using UTM depending on your needs.

In your case other criteria may also interest you like max sessions and sessions/second.

Check the comparison here.
