With an overall rating of 4.9 out of 5 (based on 414 reviews as of March 2025), Fortinet has been named as a 2025 Gartner Peer Insights Customers’ Choice for SD-WAN. This is the sixth year in a row Fortinet has been mentioned in a Gartner Peer Insights Voice of the Customer report based on real-world user reviews for the SD-WAN product. Fortinet Secure-SD-WAN is a key piece of Fortinet Unified SASE and continues to serve as the foundation for secure and high-performing connectivity across diverse environments.

According to the Gartner Peer Insights Voice of the Customer report, Fortinet had the highest number of reviews (414) of all vendors mentioned in the SD-WAN Voice of the Customer report as of March 31, 2025. And, of these reviewers, 97% said they were willing to recommend Fortinet.

This follows Fortinet being named a 2024 Gartner Peer Insights Customers’ Choice for Security Service Edge (SSE) and a 2025 Gartner Peer Insights Customers’ Choice for Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA). SSE and ZTNA are also critical components of the Fortinet Unified SASE solution. Fortinet is the only vendor to receive Gartner Peer Insights Customers’ Choice recognition across these three markets.

Validating SASE Decisions

As organizations expand into SASE, the repeated recognition of Fortinet Secure SD-WAN, SSE, and ZTNA solutions by a respected platform like Gartner Peer Insights, we believe this validates any CISO’s decision to deploy Fortinet Unified SASE.

In addition to confidence and peace of mind, we think our unified SASE provides organizations with a consistent security experience, easy deployment in any location with full control and AI-powered security, and GenAI to accelerate operations.

Within Fortinet Unified SASE, everything is unified. It has FortiOS, a single operating system and a single user agent that reduce complexity and sprawl. Unified SASE also features a single data lake that enhances insights and analytics, and it has a single console to simplify configuration and easily manage policies.

Our Opinion: Why We Believe Fortinet Is Consistently Named an SD-WAN Customers’ Choice Vendor

Fortinet Secure SD-WAN leads the industry in converging networking and security. It features a purpose-built application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) for optimized performance, a resilient autonomous architecture, built-in intelligence with FortiAI that simplifies operations, and an ease of expansion to SD-Branch and SASE.

Fortinet was also recently recognized as a Leader in the 2024 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for SD-WAN for the fifth consecutive year, positioned highest for Ability to Execute.

Additionally, Fortinet has been recognized as a Challenger in the 2024 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Single-Vendor SASE and the 2025 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Security Service Edge. And we’ve been recognized 13 times in a row in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Network Firewalls.
