Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
Fortinet is faster to configure and access policies than WatchGuard.
How was the initial setup?
The solution's initial setup process was simple, as I already have experience using it. It takes a month to complete. The process involves setting up the solution in a lab. Later, deploying it in a production environment once it meets all the configuration requirements.

The solution is worth buying.

Fast intuitive protection for your AWS cloud
After using Watchguard products on-prem the past two decades, it's nice to have the same level of security, visibility, and reporting in AWS that also easily connects other branch-office/user VPN connections. Even without Watchguard product experience, there is plenty of documentation and training available to get anyone with a network security background up to speed quickly.
