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!

Didn't know about this, many thanks for the tip.
Thanks for sharing this info.
I'm not able to find the download pages for FortiManager or FortiAnalyzer. Could you please share the links? Thanks!
This information should be spread far and wide! Thanks for posting!
Great post Danny , just remember also the Fortigate has 1 CPU and 2GB memory , but works great for a small lab.
Also we have created some fast trials like the https://www.fortinet.com/offers/fortimonitor-free-trial FortiMonitor and on the Forticloud account you can manage to get also the FortiRecon for 30 days and other solutions.
