We performed a comparison between Fortinet FortiWLM and Ubiquiti WLAN based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Wireless LAN solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI.
"In terms of reporting, in terms of all the user reports, it's very rich."
"It provides private network access, helping us protect our company’s devices."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is Marvis, the AI-driven network management system."
"With Mist, every Wednesday they roll out new features."
"The AI capabilities of Mist Wireless are superior to other OEMs."
"Juniper Mist offers valuable features like comprehensive network insight, granular policy control, fast device setup, strong security, and efficient SSL traffic management."
"The artificial intelligence feature is very good."
"The solution is very secure."
"The firewall integration is very important for the security of the connection."
"At the moment, particularly with the COVID-19 situation, the most valuable feature is probably the IPsec VPN, which is easy to implement with Fortinet."
"This is the only product on the market currently that supports as many access points for wifi users."
"The most valuable feature of Fortinet FortiWLM is the single management pane and integrated controller inside the firewall."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the management."
"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."
"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 are the roaming profile, the mesh, and the performance."
"The management features are valuable."
"For me, the ease of configuration is a valuable feature."
"Great management interface."
"The product is simple to use in terms of GUI and dashboard."
"You can save backups of this controller locally and then I can export it to wherever I want."
"Ubiquiti provides good connectivity for the end-user, so I think it's stable."
"It is a very stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"Firstly, I initially purchased the device to build a VPN, and one very valuable feature for me was the ability to create a layer two VPN, which was available on the legacy ER router. It allowed me to expand a subnet to a remote site, which was essential for my setup. Additionally, I appreciated that the CLI of the router was similar to other Juniper products that I was familiar with."
"Improvement is needed in the user-friendliness of Juniper Mist, particularly in enhancing the interaction with AI features."
"There is room for improvement in terms of support and installation."
"If you want to do more specific stuff, it's a bit limited."
"The solution is expensive."
"Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points’ support services need improvement."
"The product should include adaptive Wi-Fi to show a more accurate location."
"The pricing should be made cheaper."
"They should include SD-WAN features to it."
"The guest management features need to be improved by adding automation."
"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 pricing model can be improved to encourage use by small business and individuals and the hardware could stand to be redesigned."
"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."
"The solution should improve user capacity."
"There is very little publicly available information about Virtual Cell and Single Channel Architecture. Promotion of the overall technology is limited as well. Being more vocal about a product that has many advantages would go a long way to eliminating a lot of the confusion and negative perception about Virtual Cell and Single Channel Architecture."
"The range needs some improvement and also the stability."
"The pricing for the solution is expensive and can be improved."
"During the configuration, we cannot get information on the network level from the regular interface."
"It is not a stable solution."
"Its scalability, UI, and security features could be better."
"The downside is the interface changes, where they are constantly doing firmware updates."
"The solution is stable but could improve."
"The product’s bandwidth could be better."
"I have found they need to work on the stability of the solution."
"Ubiquiti WLAN is not a cheap solution."
