This enables us to be proactive in providing support and ensures smooth operations for our clients."
"The after-sales services are helpful."
"We can scale it if we need to."
"It offers features that are essential for an efficient and high-performance wireless LAN deployment, where capacity, coverage, and quality are optimized, and frequency bands are selected based on the specific needs of the network."
"The most valuable features of the solution are its range and stability."
"Although there are a few steps, the initial setup is pretty straightforward."
"This is the only product on the market currently that supports as many access points for wifi users."

"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 problem with this radio wireless technology is that it cannot compete in terms of bandwidth with the fiber optics at this moment. That's the biggest weakness."
"We would like this product to have more information data sheets available. At present we cannot easily access details around the full capability of a piece of equipment."
"There is room for improvement in the pricing model."
"The capacity and coverage could be improved."
"The platform's cost needs improvement."
"The product pricing needs improvement."
"The pricing model can be improved to encourage use by small business and individuals and the hardware could stand to be redesigned."
"Technical support is very poor. We are not satisfied with the technical support because there is not any direct person from Fortinet for any troubleshooting, which we expected."
"One of the main features that I see as lacking in any of the Fortinet products is the reporting. If you want to have proper, end-to-end reporting, you must purchase the FortiAnalyzer... If Fortinet could offer some better, built-in reporting, that would be a point of improvement."
"When using the FortiGate as the wireless controller, you cannot have automatic user registration, which is something that they should offer."
"The solution should improve user capacity."
"In the next release, they could improve by adding a controller-less server, or architecture that is provided in other solutions, such as Aruba. This would be a great benefit for customers."
"Documentation could be improved."
"The initial setup is complex and has room for improvement."
