"I would rate the stability of this solution a ten out of ten."
"The initial setup is very simple."
"It's really easy to set up. And, you don't have to pay for the cloud solution. That's really interesting for our clients. And the other thing is, the roaming is also quite good."
"The app and the provisioning are the best features of the product. It was really impressive that I was able to just provision it remotely. I didn't have to be on-site with my friend, and we were just able to get everything up and operational. So, the app is great. It sends me notifications when things are down, and it tells me how everything is doing."

"I like FortiAP's performance and stability. The reporting is also quite good."
"The product should include adaptive Wi-Fi to show a more accurate location."

"While it is mostly scalable, there are some limitations."
"When I first deployed the solution, I couldn't use a tagged VLAN for the management. It might already have been fixed in a recent firmware upgrade."
"Software-wise, I would like to have a way of moving APs from site to site and wish there would be a way to add more APs to one site. I know the limit is 25 APs per site and I wish there were more."
"The product's machine or equipment can cater to around 20 connections and cannot go beyond 50 simultaneous connections, because of which I think the tool's scalability is limited."

"The tool's pricing is not good."
"The setup is not very easy. It requires some experience with Wi-Fi, especially with cloud connection and security."

"The product fails to offer default access points to deal with the areas revolving around configurations."
"FortiAP could be a little cheaper."

"Technical support is a pain. Fortinet has to get its act together. If you don't pay for premium service, you will have issues."
