Yes the FortiGate will have all the features of pfsense and many more.  They are enterprise firewalls supporting some of the largest companies in the world.

Fantastic response but just remember FortiGate VM is not free like pfSense unless you want to be very limited (only 3 interfaces, 3 policies, etc).
