"It is a stable solution from the security front."
"Fortinet FortiSwitch - Secure Access has good scalability."

"The integration with the whole platform, so there's one dashboard for everything. It is one of the most valuable features."
"The most valuable feature of this product is its simplicity."
"I like that everything flows back to FortiGate, which is the controller, management console, and firewall. There's one central point for the entire network, so the security, switching, wireless, etc., flows back to the FortiGate. The ease of management is what customers like. They don't need separate solutions like Cisco."
"The product is very secure."
"The integration with the controller is one of the most valuable features of these switches. They are also very stable. For example, we have some equipment that we haven't touched for four years that is still reliable."
"It is a very scalable solution. Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The value here with using the Ubiquiti products across the board is that they're almost all single-pane management and the single-pane management is included. It's a huge benefit."
"The product is seamless and robust."
"The tool's most valuable feature is port security, which allows blocking/disabling ports. The ports also have PoE capability."
"The two most valuable features are the remote access user and the side-to-side connection."
"We have integrated the tool for PoE switches and non-PoE switches. Its most valuable feature is SD-WAN. UniFi SD-WAN can access all statistics and performance data in one interface, enabling us to support clients across different locations remotely. Additionally, we can even restart devices remotely through the UniFi SD-WAN."
"I would gladly recommend Ubiquiti UniFi Switches."
"When we started using the solution, it was quite complex but then it became easier to use. It takes a while to get used to the interface."
"Fortinet FortiSwitch - Secure Access is confusing with too many add-ons."
"An area for improvement would be the segmentation and network in logic networks."
"The product's end-user protection feature needs improvement."
"The security of the solution could be a bit better."
"If you contact Fortinet, it's a bit difficult. Most of the time, they send you just links and documents to read for troubleshooting. When you contact support, you don't need documents. You want someone that can understand your problem, give a hand, and help you. I'm not impressed by the support really."
"The solution could provide an active VPN."
"In the next release, I would like to see more outdoor products."
"I would like to see the pricing improved."
