We have had a lot of time savings. It has really helped impact our staff in a positive way—which is already a very lean staff—so giving them the tools that allow them to really be efficient with their work, and to keep our environment secure, has helped tremendously.
Coming from the networking side, implementing the FortiGates with the FortiSwitches and FortiAPs, being able to have that single place to go and manage everything has been very helpful…It is like two clicks to get somewhere instead of having to make changes in four different locations.
