We performed a comparison between Fortinet FortiSwitch - Secure Access and Luxul Switches based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Ethernet Switches solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."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."
"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."
"It is a cheap and secure solution. The job switching and security features are better than other solutions."
"Fortinet FortiSwitch - Secure Access has essential features for managing switches."
"One of the most feature-packed switching solutions you can implement."
"I can say that the product is easy to use...The initial setup of the product was easy."
"It can integrate well with other Fortinet products."
"The solution is very simple, and it's very easily available."
"The ePoE+ is great."
"The solution is less expensive than other options."
"Remote access to the router is a huge time saver."
"The solution has SD-WAN but it doesn't have SDN. This should be added."
"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."
"The product must improve its prices."
"I would like Fortinet to make this product easier to configure."
"In Fortinet, the packet reconstruction in the SD-WAN solution needs a little bit of improvement. When it comes to the Secure Access to the switches or the mix of Fortinet solution, the very small ones do not have the capability to use fiber cables. So, the small FortiGates have to work with the copper cables and cannot use fiber cables. Even though they have the capacity and throughput on all technical connectors, they don't have the interfaces, which is one of the good things with Cisco. They just add models to it. You buy the independent models, and you add them."
"The installation is not difficult. However, some features have to be activated from the CLI."
"The solution could provide an active VPN."
"The range of products could improve from Fortinet FortiSwitch - Secure Access."
"The documentation could be improved; it's quite basic."
"Documentation and access to it could be greatly improved."
"You do need to be an IT person in order to handle the initial setup. An AV person would struggle a bit."
