Cost considerations
FortiSASE’s partner-listed rates of about $45–$100 per user per year sit squarely in the mid-range for SASE tools. The subscription bundles threat-intel updates and 24/7 support, yet branch connectors and bandwidth upgrades are extra charges that raise total spend. Buyers also face limited public price disclosure, so full costs are confirmed only after a sales quote.

Functionality
FortiSASE delivers cloud-based next-gen firewall with IPS, ML-powered sandboxing, TLS 1.3 decryption, zero-trust access and integrated SD-WAN, covering nearly all advanced needs at scale. Public information does not emphasize dedicated IoT visibility, so Functionality falls one element short of the highest tier.

Compatibility
FortiSASE pairs with FortiGate appliances, virtual images and cloud gateways, so most environments need only minor tuning. Dual-stack IPv6 and common protocols like BGP and OSPF are built in. Open REST APIs and ready connectors for FortiSIEM/FortiSOAR keep SIEM and SOAR tie-ins to light scripting

User experience
Reviews highlight a clean cloud dashboard that centralises policy management and reporting, so day-to-day tasks are straightforward. Some users note the initial configuration feels complex for those new to Fortinet, but once running administration is mostly point-and-click. This blend of solid usability and minor onboarding friction places its user experience above average but short of top-tier.

Customer support
Fortinet provides 24×7 global TAC access and an Elite support tier with a 15-minute SLA for critical cases, which is faster than the sub-hour commitments most peers offer. FortiGuard delivers security signatures on an hourly cadence, keeping defences continuously updated without customer action. More than 200 in-country depots enable advance or next-day hardware replacement, and the Elite portal issues proactive firmware and health alerts, reducing downtime and surprises.
