Vendor materials reference integration of generative-AI assistance and tools to help create playbooks; this report did not independently validate the effectiveness or typical productivity gains associated with those features.
No definitive, source-validated scale limits (e.g., incidents/day thresholds) were identified in the reviewed sources. Fortinet publishes performance benchmarking for specific versions; prospective buyers should request version-specific performance documentation and test in their own environments.
