Re: [Full-Disclosure] Netscreen 5GT Plus vs Fortigate-60

[Oliver Heinz --- arago AG <heinz@xxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I have used Netscreen and Fortigate.
You can contact me at the address below.

In general: I would rate the two quite similar, except for the
virus-scanning. Anti-Virus of the FGT is much better than in the NS 5.

Regards, Oliver Heinz
