Hi all,

 

Just wondering if someone has FMG 5.6.3 running in production?

At the moment we are still in testing phase. Today we have FMG 5.4.4 in production but are planning to upgrade to FMG 5.6.3 soon because we need to manage FGT with FOS 5.6.x.

 

How about your experiences?

Thanks a lot for feedback

cheers

For us FMG 5.6 has been usable since 5.6.1. We are at 5.6.3 currently and will likely upgrade to 5.6.4 soon - we just aren't hitting any bugs right now so no rush for us.

 

The WebSocket support they implemented has been great. Huge improvement in speed and usability.

 

Several hundred firewalls, dozens of ADOMs. So yea I would say FMG 5.6.3 is production ready.

GUI experience is certainly better then with 5.4, no annoying bugs encountered so far.

FMG 5.6.4 is the latest release so far ;)

 

Using it in an environment with more than 70 fortigate clusters without problems.
