Background                                                                                                                  

Migrating from FortiGate to Sangfor NGFW is challenging due to the large volume of ACLs, Network, Services objects, and NAT rules. To reduce manual effort and minimize errors, we developed the FortiGate-to-Sangfor Configuration Conversion Tool, which automates approximately 80% of the core configuration and accelerates the replacement process. This enables engineers to concentrate on refining advanced settings and ensuring seamless project delivery.

We hope you can share your real migration cases to help more users achieve smooth FortiGate to Sangfor NGFW replacements. In particular, we want to learn:

1. How did you use the tool for basic configurations, and manually handled advanced configurations not covered by the tool?
2. How did you solve key challenges to ensure a successful replacement project?

If you’ve worked on such migrations and are open to sharing how you combined tool-based conversion with manual refinement, we warmly invite you to join us!
