Our take
- 60F is the proven workhorse and the cheapest way into FortiOS with full UTP; choose it for small offices with up to 500 Mbps internet. It is end-of-order from Fortinet in some regions, so check availability.
- 70G is the 60F's successor: nearly 2x IPS/NGFW throughput, double the sessions and more FortiAPs/FortiSwitches, at a small premium. Our default recommendation for new SMB deployments.
- 90G adds 10 GbE uplinks and 3M sessions - buy it if you have a 1 Gbps+ link, a FortiSwitch/FortiAP fabric with 100+ devices, or run many site-to-site VPNs.
Need local logging and reports without FortiAnalyzer? Choose the 61F / 71G / 91G variants with built-in storage. All three are available as UTP bundles with 1, 3 or 5 years of licence.
پرسشهای متداول
Is the FortiGate 70G a replacement for the 60F?
Yes. The 70G is the G-series successor with the SP5 ASIC, more throughput and sessions, in the same desktop format.
Does the FortiGate 60F support SD-WAN?
Yes - SD-WAN, SSL VPN, IPsec VPN and ZTNA are included in FortiOS on all models; the UTP bundle adds the FortiGuard security services.
