In Q3 2023, CyberRatings.org performed an independent test of the Fortinet SD-WAN against the SD-WAN Test Methodology v2.0 at our facility in Austin,Texas. We tested the 100F model as a high availability pair at the head-end, along with 70F models at corporate headquarters, a regional office, and a retail outlet. The traffic content, throughput, transport, and impairments were tailored for each use case in order to provide insight into how the SD-WAN would perform under various conditions. The Fortinet SD-WAN handled all use cases with ease and proved to be highly reliable and capable and should be on everyone’s short list.
Product ratings give decision-makers clear, forward-looking insight into the effectiveness of products tested. After extensive testing of multiple products in one test category, this product was given a rating based on the Security Value Map (SVM), which shows the test results for all products in a testing cycle and how they performed against the other products evaluated. The SVM measures products’ Security Effectiveness, Performance and Total Cost of Ownership (TCO). This view has three ratings: Recommended, Neutral and Caution. Typically, those products receiving the highest Security Effectiveness scores would be Recommended.
