firmware upgrade

Our firewall (FortiGate-500E v7.0.14, build0601) is currently experiencing issues with upgrading to newer firmware versions. There are two options available: versions 7.2.7 and 7.2.8. However, the release notes for version 7.2.7 indicate a bug affecting IPsec tunnels, while version 7.2.8 has a known issue with routing and SD-WAN

 

How should I determine the most suitable version for the upgrade?

Yes, you are good to follow the upgrade path tool, please refer to the follow article for details:

In order to view if a firmware version is Mature or a Feature, you can use the above article to login to Fortinet support site, follow the instructions where it walks you through to the download page.

 

You can see "FFW_2600F-v7.2.9.M-build1688-FORTINET.out" for 7.2.9 version where M refers to mature version and "FFW_2600F-v7.4.4.F-build2662-FORTINET.out" for 7.4.4 version where "v7.4.4.F" F refers to Feature.

 

Please see the attached screenshots for a reference.

I think @Umer221 meant to show "FGT_500E-..."
But I strongly recommend you go up to 7.2.9 or 7.2.10 due to some vulnerabilities in those 7.2.7 and 7.2.8. See the release notes of 7.2.9, at the bottom of "Resolved Issues" section.
