Curation Review

• ✔ Pros: Ubiquiti rates 5 Gbps IDS/IPS throughput, which is strong for a 1U gateway at this price; Ten gigabit SFP+ ports plus a 2.5GbE port give fast multi-WAN and uplink options; Integrated 128 GB SSD and two NVR HDD bays allow local UniFi Protect recording without extra hardware; Full feature set including zone-based firewall, DPI, content filtering, IPsec/OpenVPN/WireGuard VPN, OSPF and BGP; Redundancy options such as VRRP shadow mode, gateway failover and DC power backup; Low 60W maximum power draw and NDAA-compliant hardware
• ✘ Cons: Ubiquiti does not publish firewall throughput, VPN throughput, session capacity or new sessions per second, which makes sizing harder; Only 5 Gbps IDS/IPS is specified, which may bottleneck high-bandwidth sites with threat prevention enabled; Eight 1GbE LAN ports is limited if you need many wired drops or 2.5G/10G client access; No PoE, so separate switches or injectors are needed for PoE devices; Retail prices vary widely across sellers, and the price range is wider than the official MSRP suggests; Requires UniFi Network controller management, which may not suit teams wanting a standalone firewall
• Est. Price: $599 - $740

Curation Review

• ✔ Pros: Fortinet SP5 ASIC gives hardware-accelerated firewall, IPsec, and SSL inspection; Built-in SD-WAN and FortiGate NGFW features at no extra hardware cost; Strong concurrency at 1.4 million TCP sessions and 100,000 new sessions per second for a desktop unit; Integrated FortiLink support for managing FortiSwitch and FortiAP devices from one console; Trusted Platform Module and signed firmware hardware switch add physical and boot-level protection; Compact, fanless-class desktop form factor suited to branch and small offices; Managed centrally through FortiManager or FortiManagement Cloud
• ✘ Cons: Only 1 Gbps copper ports, with no multi-gig or SFP uplinks; Threat Protection throughput of 1.3 Gbps is modest for full UTM inspection; No PoE on the base model (PoE variant is a separate SKU); No onboard storage on the 70G (64GB SSD is only on the 71G); Gateway-to-gateway VPN tunnels capped at 200; Full FortiGuard security services (IPS, AV, web filtering, SaaS/DLP) are separate paid subscriptions; Hardware-only pricing is modest, but the full UTP bundle roughly doubles total cost
• Est. Price: $613 - $1,000
