What our shortlists say about the one we picked.
Best for: FortiGate customers moving from VPN to ZTNA
It is on the list because Fortinet says ZTNA is built into FortiOS, so if you run FortiGate you can move from VPN to ZTNA at no added cost. The gateway sits on your own firewalls, which suits mid-market and enterprise sites that want access enforced on premises. If you do not run FortiGate, much of that case falls away.
