We performed a comparison between Alcatel-Lucent OmniSwitch Ethernet Switches and Fortinet FortiSwitch - Data Center 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 new web graphical interface is much better than before. We now have easy access to the command lines. They're all functional."
"The fibre ports that are 10 Gb capacity helped with the travel of a lot of regular as well as video data. Fibre can handle a lot more virtual data than copper twisted-pair, so we got a lot more data and a lot more traffic signals back through the fibre ports, faster, than with copper."
"Enables direct access to clusters."
"This is a dependable switch which will help you sleep at night."
"OmniSwitch Ethernet Switches' best features are it's easy to deploy, manage, and maintain, with services coming through one vendor."
"It's easy to extend the stack, We don't use the smaller switches, but it's going well for the rest."
"The solution has a very good web interface. It makes it easy to manage everything."
"We are able to customize this solution based on the customer's requirements."
"Fortinet FortiSwitch - Data Center's scalability is good."
"I have found the solution to be scalable."
"A valuable feature of FortiGate is its management integrity."
"The most valuable feature is the port analytics."
"We are able to monitor everything that is happening on our network."
"The interface is very straightforward."
"SD-WAN and the security fabric are essential features of the product."
"The product is stable."
"The product would be better if it were completely compatible with other switching products."
"I could see them possibly creating a more intuitive software. It's very user-friendly, but there are some things that aren't very intuitive when programming the switches."
"In future versions, I would like to see improvements in networking speed."
"There needs to be better integration with the interface."
"The network connection should be improved."
"I find the CLI hard to use. I wish we could do more in the GUI interface."
"technical support response time is sometimes very slow."
"OmniSwitch Ethernet Switches would be improved if cloud-based technology was provided in the Gulf region."
"Does not have as many features as other solutions, such as segmentation and analytics engines."
"They could improve availability and security by detecting and preventing switch attacks."
"With IT products, there is always room for improvement."
"When there are many switches being used, the speed declines noticeably."
"Routing is an area in Fortinet FortiSwitch with certain shortcomings where improvements are needed."
"The product must improve the latency in the management center."
"Managing the VLANs is an area where the solution lacks and needs to improve."
"The solution can improve by upgrading QSFP+, it is very limited and must be supported more than it is now. If we need FortiSwitches to support all the QSFP ports our budgets would have to be very large."
