Question on: Check Point Next Generation Firewalls (NGFWs)
Would you prefer Checkpoint/Palo Alto/Fortigate or other NGFW? and if you'd like to add why?NGFW competition

It depends on what your needs are. I've worked with both Check Point and Fortinet, and both have a place. In a smaller IT shop (where you may not need some of the advanced NGFW features like sandboxing) Fortinets are good, effective, low-admin cost firewalls. However, if you are in a larger IT shop (Enterprise IT), Check Point and Palo Alto would be more appropriate.
