Daniel J –
As a small business with under 20 employees, we didn’t need a massive firewall, but we did need reliable protection. The FortiGate 40F hits that sweet spot. It’s small enough to fit on a shelf, but it offers full next-gen security features like antivirus, IPS, and web filtering. Purchased through Jazz Cyber Shield — their customer support was super responsive and helped us select the correct licensing.

We were looking for something affordable, efficient, and easy to manage. The 40F was recommended, and it has lived up to the hype. It’s protecting us from threats without any noticeable performance drops. We bought it from Jazz Cyber Shield — pricing was better than major online retailers, and shipping was fast.

We’ve set up VPN access for our remote employees through the FortiGate 40F, and it works flawlessly. The FortiClient integration is seamless. Jazz Cyber Shield provided clear setup documentation, and their post-sales team even checked in after delivery. Amazing service!
