"The simplicity is great."
"The artificial intelligence feature is very good."
"The most valuable feature of Juniper Mist is the Virtual Network Assistant, powered by artificial intelligence."
"The most valuable feature of Juniper Wireless Access Points (AP Series) is the ability to troubleshoot ports on the network. Additionally, when there is an update on the APs they are able to reboot quickly reducing downtime. Other solutions have a longer downtime when updates are done."
"The most useful feature of Juniper Wireless AP is the reporting Marvis."
"You can easily monitor, manage, and cover all your IT equipment."
"The solution is very secure."
"The solution is easy to use and manage. Overall it is very simple to understand and users do not know it is a cloud solution."
"In terms of the most valuable features, I like the integration with the fabric. The network fabric completely integrates with wireless as well."
"ExtremeWireless has good performance."
"The most valuable feature is the cloud-managed aspect."
"The security is very good."
"The most useful feature is how the product integrates with the Microsoft directory in the cloud."
"It provides seamless connectivity if you move around."
"I like Cloud IQ, ExtremeWireless' cloud controller and analytics platform. It's full of information, easy to use, and provides excellent visibility into my network."
"The most valuable feature of FortiSwitch is its user-friendly interface, which facilitates easy management and propagation of rules throughout the network."
"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."
"What I actually use in this deployment are Forti APs (Fortinet Access Points). So, I can see all my office infrastructure from a single console, which is handy. One FortiGate, one FortiSwitch, and five access points, everything under good control. It's really nice to see it all together like this."
"What stands out is the effective management and enhanced security provided by the solution's function as an extension of the firewall."
"The most valuable feature would be network management, separating the network management component from security. It can do both but we promote it on its own. It's a good solution to do network management."
"Stability and scalability for this product are very good. Setup is easy and deployment can be completed within minutes. The technical support for Fortinet FortiSwitch - Secure Access is good."
"It works really well, I think the equipment is solid, and the help is great."
"The product is very secure."
"The price could be better."
"Enrolling into the tool is a tedious process."
"The product should include adaptive Wi-Fi to show a more accurate location."
"Juniper Wireless AP can improve by continually improving its reporting and integration with other systems."
"The pricing should be made cheaper."
"They should include SD-WAN features to it."
"Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points’ support services need improvement."
"I need a bit more time with it before criticizing the features."
"It is a subscription model, so it is maybe a bit pricey."
"The user interface of ExtremeWireless could be better. It is not user-friendly."
"The reports could prove in ExtremeWireless. However, we are in the early stages of use and we might be able to configure them better."
"In the next release, I would like to see more security features."
"They could provide different product models. Additionally, there could be a feature to manage devices."
"Technical support is an area that needs to be improved."
"The onsite controllers are not as good as the cloud controller. I would also like ExtremeWireless to add web filtering on the access point. This feature is available from other vendors but not ExtremeWireless."
"The current product line is very high-level and is well suited for enterprise-level organizations, but they need a more cost-effective solution for smaller businesses."
"In the next release, I would like to see more outdoor products."
"We had experienced downtime. I would like to see it to be improved."
"It would be easier if Fortinet FortiSwitch - Secure Access could be managed via cloud, and this is something that could be improved in this product. Bandwidth display could also be better."
"While Fortinet is good for school boards and mid-sized businesses, enterprise-class networks require a zero-trust solution. If you're building a zero-trust network with end-to-end security, that's where Fortinet falls behind Cisco, HPE, and Aruba."
"The pricing could be improved, and it could be easier to configure."
"Its cloud features could be better."
"I give the stability a seven out of ten because we have noticed when we hook up phones the switching of ELANs et cetera doesn't work as it should."
"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."
