Curation Review
✔ Pros:Industry-leading performance powered by NP7 and CP9 ASICs, high port density with 100GE and 25GE connectivity, integrated ZTNA enforcement, superior energy efficiency (performance-per-watt), and unified management through FortiOS.
✘ Cons:Significant upfront investment and ongoing licensing costs, steep learning curve for advanced features, and high acoustic noise level (~66.7 dBA) requiring a dedicated server room environment.
