Fortinet has allowed us to bring our network security services in-house rather than spending money for an outsourced vendor to manage the network. A unified security solution works best for us, as we have a relatively small technical team. The FortiGate solution helps us to manage our time, skills and on-going costs more effectively. Because of our Fortinet deployment, we are expecting to save $1.5 million in network security costs over the next three years.
