Replacing Old ASA With a FortiGate 1500D White Board Session

Check out this video about how I replaced an ASA with a FortiGate 1500D. I am apparently going to have to work on the video resolution. The webcam had issues keeping up it seems.

    Good evenins Sir….
    Based upon all of the firewalls out there…i.e. Cisco, Palo Alto, Juniper, and Checkpoint, just to name a few. In your humble opinion, which vendor could you base a career on, and live comfortably for the next 15 years, if you become “The Man.”

    I am new to Fortigate and came across your site. It is very informative. I have a scenario where I am upgrading an older ASA but the customer had a full class C address range and is using the ASA to do a lot of NAT and PAT. There is a router between the ASA and twin ISPs. The router is running BGP. There are multiple networks on the ASA like DMZ, LAN, VOIP, AnyConnect, and IOT. I would like to put the Fortigate in parallel with the ASA and not just do a cut over but I am thinking I would have to put policy based routes on all the hosts. Have you come across this scenario before? What has worked best for you?
