WP:WIAGA for criteria
This must be a joke. Is Wikipedia an encyclopedia or an advertising platform? Wikipedia is regarded as a source of impartial information, and our volunteer contributions contribute to that reputation. But this case tells me that we tolerate paid editing, which is disclosed on the talk page but not to the average reader. Totally unethical and I don't particularly want to help build a project that is surreptitiously used by advertisers as a vehicle for promotion. User:CorporateM should be indefinitely banned per WP:NOT. Citobun ( talk) 10:02, 7 October 2016 (UTC)
I've been super busy with school and today is the first time I've had a chance to re-check-in. If I'm following this correctly, @ Timtempleton: incorporated their draft products section (discussed above) here? I haven't compared his/her version to the prior one, or the trimmed draft I produced, but did notice that the Products section now has about 15 sections and is dominating the table of contents. I think it would be more appropriate as 3-5 sections. Usually it's seen as promotional to have a lot of dedicated sections for individual products or families, much like the opposite of people that make dedicated controversy sections.

@ Timtempleton: and @ CorporateM:, any chance of getting this resolved sometime this week? I'd hate to have this pending forever. FalconK ( talk) 10:27, 22 October 2016 (UTC)

Fortinet develops and markets IT security and networking hardware and software. [1] It is best known for the FortiGate family of security appliances, which combine many cybersecurity functions. [2] According to a 2015 report by IT analyst firm The Dell'Oro Group, Fortinet had an eight percent market-share of the IT security appliance market by revenue in 2014, up from 2.9 percent in 2012. [3] This makes it the fourth-largest vendor in the industry. [4] According to Fortinet, its users are 35% small businesses, 28% enterprises and 37% large companies. [1] Fortinet's FortiGate family of unified threat management physical and virtual appliances include a number of security functions like firewalls, intrusion prevention, web-filters and protection from malware or spam. The family includes products for small businesses and branch offices, as well as for large enterprises, data centers and internet service providers. [5] [6] It also sells Next Generation Firewalls (NGFW), which Gartner defines as being a product that combines firewall, VPN, intrusion prevention and other security features. [7] Fortinet's first product was the FortiGate 3000, released in October 2002, [8] which had a throughput of 3 gigabytes per second (GB/s). [9] The 5000 family was released two years later. [10] According to The International Directory of Company Histories, Fortinet's early products for small businesses and branch offices, were well received by the industry. [11] [12] In early 2013, Fortinet added firewall functionality to the Fortigate appliance, designed for internal networks and relying on special-purpose ASICs. [13] The FortiGate virtual appliance was later added to the Amazon Web Services in 2014. [14] In April 2016, Fortinet announced the Fortinet Security Fabric, which is intended to allow third-party devices to share information with Fortinet appliances and software through APIs. It also introduced the FortiGate 6040E 320Gbit/s firewall, which includes the new CP9 ASIC that takes on some processing tasks from the main CPU, and was used in future FortiGate releases. [15] Fortinet provides numerous other software and hardware products, including more than one dozen other products for switching, desktops, VOIP services, DNS, user authentication and other applications. [5] [6] The company's FortiAnalyzer software offers reporting features for Fortinet products, including event logging, security reporting and analysis. [16] FortiClient is an endpoint security product for desktops, phones, and other devices. [17] [18] FortiClient VPN software was first released in April 2004. [19] The FortiGuard antispam and the FortiMail messaging security products were first released in February 2005. [11] FortiManager, the company's software for data center security, was first introduced in April 2003. [20] Fortinet introduced its database security product family in 2008. [5] [6] [21] Fortinet's FortiSwitch switching platforms were first introduced in 2009 [22] and its application delivery controllers in August 2013. [23] In October 2010, Fortinet released virtual software versions of its FortiGate, FortiManager, FortiAnalyzer and FortiMail appliances. [24] It updated the FortiCloud management system in August 2015. [25] A software-defined networking offering was introduced in September 2015. [26] [27] Fortinet produces and markets wireless versions of its FortiGate product called FortiWifi, [6] which was first in March 2004. [28] [29] Fortinet introduced a new family of cloud-based wireless access points in August 2015. [25] The FortiDDoS product family was introduced in March 2014. [30] [31] FortiOS is the operating system that runs Fortinet's equipment. In December 2003, Fortinet released FortiOS 2.8, which added 50 new features to the operating system. [32] |
