FortiGate depth throughout
ConfigSentry is not a generic scanner with FortiGate added to a device list. Its rules, evidence, remediation, collection model, reports, VDOM handling, and recurring workflow are designed specifically for FortiGate.
ConfigSentry comparison
ConfigSentry vs Nipper InfraSight
Both products analyse firewall configurations and produce deterministic, actionable findings. ConfigSentry is the stronger fit for organisations that primarily use FortiGate and want transparent pricing, human- and machine-readable reports, straightforward evaluation, and a path from one-off auditing to scheduled and change-triggered review.
Comparison basis: ConfigSentry product capabilities and Titania’s publicly described Nipper InfraSight capabilities reviewed on 28 July 2026. Product packaging can change, so buyers should verify any requirement that is critical to their deployment.

Why choose ConfigSentry
Built to give FortiGate teams more than a point-in-time report
Human and machine-readable output
Every successful audit provides reports for engineers and executives, alongside structured JSON audit and finding data for machine processing.
Recurring and change-aware review
Move beyond occasional snapshots with scheduled audits and, on Enterprise, a new audit triggered after ConfigSentry detects a configuration change.
Simple proof before purchase
Use a real FortiGate configuration, inspect the findings and reports, and review published prices before deciding whether to deploy recurring collection.
The practical decision
Choose breadth only when you need breadth
For a mixed-vendor estate or a requirement for an entirely air-gapped assessment engine, Nipper InfraSight may fit the deployment requirement.
For a FortiGate environment, ConfigSentry provides the same core qualities buyers expect from a professional configuration-audit product — deterministic analysis, human-readable reports, machine-readable results, remediation guidance, standards mapping, and read-only operation — while adding transparent self-service buying and recurring change-aware auditing.
- Do not pay for broad vendor coverage when FortiGate is the actual assessment requirement
- Compare real findings and remediation quality, not product age or feature-list length
- Consider how the audit will be repeated after the first report is delivered
