Dear All,

Please let me know which is the stable / good working firmware version for FortiManager version - v5.6.1-build1619 171217 (GA) ( Platform Type FMG-VM64 ).

Release dates of 5.6.5 and 6.0.2 are: 5.6.5 2018-06-28 13:06:58

6.0.2 2018-09-05 13:09:01

Is the 6.X version good to go now ?

Fortigate Firmware from 5.4.1 to 5.6.3 version is good to upgrade ?

Million thanks in advance !!!

We've been using FMG 5.6.5 since it was released with very little issues - nothing serious so far. We probably won't even upgrade to FMG 5.6.6 right away because the need just isn't there for us.

Personally, I would avoid FMG 6.0.2 - but that's just based on personal experience with FMG in general, not that particular release.

Is it good to go to any of the 6.x.x version? better than 5.6.5 ? or better to upgrade it to 5.6.5 ?

Do you have any idea on the stable version upgrades for fortigate OS, like I would like to upgrade 5.2.x to 5.4.x and 5.4.x to 5.6.x .....

So any way to identify the stable version of 5.4.x and 5.6.x?

Thanks a lot for the reply

Most people who support large and complex FortiGate networks shy away from new version trains until they hit patch release 4 or 5. Our own SEs have advised us of the same.

We run 5.6.5 on our FortiGates and has been stable.

So that is what I would recommend - go with 5.6.6 for the FortiGates, and 5.6.5 for FMG.
