Fortinet has once again been recognized as a Gartner? Peer Insights? Customers' Choice for SD-WAN. This marks the fifth year in a row that Fortinet has received this distinction for our Secure SD-WAN solution based on user reviews. We also received the highest number of reviews (434) of all vendors in the SD-WAN Market as of December 31, 2023, with an overall rating of 4.9 out of 5. And, we are the only vendor to receive the Customers' Choice distinction across all company size segments (large and mid-size) as well as for the APAC region. This recognition closely follows our being named a 2023 Gartner? Peer Insights? Customers' Choice for Security Service Edge (SSE), another critical component of the Fortinet Unified SASE solution.

Like our other solutions, Fortinet Secure SD-WAN is powered by a single operating system, FortiOS, and provides unified management to simplify and integrate critical functions and services. FortiOS and FortiGuard AI-Powered Security Services enable Fortinet to continue innovating, accelerating customers on their journeys to adopting a Unified SASE strategy. With its embedded ZTNA application gateway, integrated security and network functions, SD-WAN, cloud-based protections for end-to-end visibility and analytics capabilities, and a global array of POPs, organizations can achieve their zero-trust initiatives using a single platform to eliminate architectural complexity. Fortinet has now been recognized as a Peer Insights Customers' Choice for two critical elements of our Unified SASE solution: SSE and SD-WAN.

Why We Feel Fortinet Is Consistently Named a Leader

Fortinet Secure SD-WAN has led the industry in converging networking and security and Fortinet was also recently recognized as a Leader in the 2023 Gartner? Magic Quadrant? for SD-WAN for the fourth consecutive year, placing highest in the ability to execute in the quadrant along with consistent recognition for completeness of vision.
