Fortinet SD-WAN uses a different design philosophy than Cisco's. While Cisco using so many components for dedicated and authoritative roles, Fortinet SD-WAN requires only one mandatory product which is FortiGate. However, FortiManager is timely used. 

In short, a basic mapping of components between two vendors as below. 

vEdge - FortiGate

vManage - FortiManager

vSmart - FortiGates who act as IPsec VPN hub and IBGP route reflector (or EBGP route server)

vBond, for PnP/ZTP/bootstrap/initial onboarding - FortiManager / FortiCloud

vBond, for STUN - FortiGates who act as ADVPN hub

vAnalytics - FortiAnalyzer
