"Fortinet FortiWLM is good for tracking assets, monitoring, and overall management."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to connect and broadcast to different networks without using a VLAN or a layer two switch, which allows you to easily create guest networks."
"Having the single pane of glass, by using the Fortinet Security Fabric, allows us to tighten security, and more easily and quickly create additional VLANs to help protect data. Rules in the firewall mean we can protect data and systems so that, should anything go wrong, any security issue is held to an individual device."
"The most valuable features of this solution are its speed, reliability, and integration with the firewall."
"I found that It's really good when comparing it to any other product or it is much better in terms of features that the customer requires."
"The product is a stable solution."
"The most valuable solution is its simplicity. The solution is simple and easy to use."
"The performance of this solution is amazing in terms of radiofrequency technology."
"The connectivity, speed, and reliability are very good."
"The initial setup of Ruckus Wireless WAN is very easy."
"Wireless six is the most valuable feature of this solution right now. It has supported the most recent laptop model."
"The analytic solution is good and should be improving further."
"Provides great coverage and performance."
"Ruckus has multiple radios. Therefore, it supports high speed for users and clients. Other vendors have fluctuations in speed. The main thing about Ruckus is that you can trust it and rely on its speed. I am simply satisfied with it."
"Juniper Wireless Access Points (AP Series) could improve if the MIST platform had a built-in master key. This would be an advantage."
"The pricing should be made cheaper."
"Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points’ support services need improvement."
"Enrolling into the tool is a tedious process."
"They should include SD-WAN features to it."
"The solution is expensive."
"There is room for improvement in terms of support and installation."
"If you want to do more specific stuff, it's a bit limited."
"They need to do more with their marketing. That's what's wrong with them. Nobody knows they do all this other stuff. I love the product. For an enterprise-level system, you never have to explain why you're recommending Fortinet, whereas you might have to do that if you want to use the Ubiquiti Professional or the new Netgear line, but you don't have to explain Fortinet. It has been remarkable to work with."
"The roaming of Fortinet FortiWLM could improve when comparing it to other solutions. We are missing some of the functionality in the controller. Additionally, they should offer more logs instead of using FortiAnalyzer because all the users will not be using the same thing."
"The guest management features need to be improved by adding automation."
"The interface could certainly do with some improvement. We have other customers with WiFi networks, and they always use Ubiquiti. With Ubiquiti, it's a much better user interface, and it is much easier to configure."
"This solution should be easier to set up in a production environment."
"Documentation could be improved."
"Licensing is the only area that I think they are below average. They need enterprise licensing, an all-encompassing license to cover all products for a company."
"The solution should improve user capacity."
"I would like to see the billing system improved by adding a billing system integration."
"Ruckus Wireless WAN needs to improve its pricing."
"I would like to have a better built-in reporting feature."
"In Cisco, there is a configuration where it automatically switches from the 2.4 GHz to 5.2 GHz frequency. But with Ruckus, usually, we need to manually define whether we want to use the 2.4 GHz or 5.2 GHz."
"In comparison to Cambium, I find Cambium to be more robust in terms of performance."
"I believe there is room for improvement in the price structure."
"This product needs a point-to-point, bridge solution."
"The interface has to be more automated."
