Comparison Table

Before going any further, let’s first see a quick comparison table between the 4 models. I have included the most important specs in my opinion that a professional should look at when selecting a hardware firewall model.

Sizing Considerations

Many people want to select a firewall model based on the number of users in the network. However, this is not a good approach because in some cases the traffic usage might just be email and web browsing and in some other cases the traffic might be heavier like streaming, downloading large files etc. It is generally better to select a model based on...

Fortigate Subscription Security Licenses

All Fortigate firewalls run on the same FortiOS operating system which controls all security and networking features of the firewall devices. Moreover, if you want to un-lock the real security benefits of Fortinet Next Generation Firewalls (NGFW) with advanced protections (which work at Application Layer 7), you will need to buy a recurring FortiGu...

Fortigate 30E Brief Review

Last update on 2023-09-19 at 12:44 / Affiliate links / Images from Amazon Product Advertising API This is the smallest model manufactured by Fortinet and comes in two flavours, the Fortigate 30E and the FortiWiFi 30E. They are exactly the same in terms of features and performance with the only exception of WiFi support (dual band) on the latter mod...

Fortigate 50E/51E Brief Review

Last update on 2023-09-19 at 16:00 / Affiliate links / Images from Amazon Product Advertising API This model is right in the middle (in terms of performance) of the devices we are comparing in this article. Unlike the previous 30E model, the 50E contains 2 WAN ports (for ISP redundancy, load balancing etc) and also 5 LAN switch ports. Moreover, sta...

Fortigate 60E/60F/61E Brief Review

Last update on 2023-09-19 at 16:00 / Affiliate links / Images from Amazon Product Advertising API The Fortigate 60E/60F/61E model is one of the most popular devices in the Entry-level category. Just like the 51E, in this appliance we have also an internal SSD disk drive (128GB) on the 61E model. The drive size is definitely much larger than the 51E...

Fortigate 30E vs 50E

These two models are pretty similar with the 50E having a little higher performance throughput and also better physical interfaces. If you want to protect a smallish network with around 10-20 users and close to 50 Mbps WAN circuit on a budget, the 30E is ideal. Moreover, many power users purchase the 30E even for their home network for robust prote...

Fortigate 30E vs 60E/60F

If you have such a dilemma to select between 30E and 60E, the choice is obvious in my opinion. If you can spend some extra money, I would definitely recommend the 60F over the 30E. The former is much better in all aspects, especially the hardware performance as described in the review sections above. However, if you are a very small office network ...

Fortigate 50E vs 60E/60F

The price difference between 50E and 60E is not significant in my opinion to change my mind between these two models. I would definitely recommend the 60F here instead of the 50E. Remember that the 60E uses a SoC3 SPU chipset (or the SOC4 on the 60F) which offloads a lot of firewall functionality on the special-purpose ASIC chip thus improving the ...

In this article I will compare and describe three popular entry-level Fortigate models, the 30E, 50E/51E and 60E/60F/61E. (NOTE: The only difference between 50E vs 51E and 60E vs 61E is that the 51E and 61E models include also an internal SSD disk drive for log storage).

What is the difference between a 60E and a 50E?

Remember that the 60E uses a SoC3 SPU chipset (or the SOC4 on the 60F) which offloads a lot of firewall functionality on the special-purpose ASIC chip thus improving the hardware significantly. The 50E relies on a regular CPU instead of a dedicated SoC chipset.
