"The product is simple to manage."
"D-Link has a graphical interface that is easy to use. It is simple enough that our junior technicians can configure the switches."
"The initial setup of D-Link Ethernet Switches is very easy."
"D-Link has a good VPN feature and quality of service."
"We use the solution for the network and ethernet connection."
"It is a stable solution."
"It's plug-and-play. There is no configuration necessary."
"It works really well, I think the equipment is solid, and the help is great."
"The tool's VLAN feature is easy to understand. It was very good."
"The tool's setup was very easy."
"This device is easy to use."
"Fortinet FortiSwitch - Secure Access has good scalability."
"Stability and scalability for this product are very good. Setup is easy and deployment can be completed within minutes. The technical support for Fortinet FortiSwitch - Secure Access is good."
"The solution is very simple, and it's very easily available."
"What I really love in FortiSwitch: its usability, the graphical user interface, and the ability to be managed by FortiGate."
"The D-Link Ethernet Switches have to be replaced because they are difficult to manage and security is poor. They should add centralized manageability to make the solution better, it will allow administrators to better know what is happening on the network."
"It should be more stable, and it should have good integration with the cloud. It should support configuration, supervision, and control through the cloud."
"Its security features need improvement."
"The solution needs to improve layer 2 switches."
"There is room for improvement in terms of stability."
"They could be more stable. They were not as resistant as Cisco. After some time, some of them failed. This could be because we import quite a lot of products from different horizons, so there is no guarantee of quality. In Africa, these products don't always directly come from the manufacturer. We get these products from the Middle East or Asia. Therefore, you cannot be sure that the quality is exactly similar to what you have in Europe or America."
"They need to enhance stability."
"They need to have some more high-end switches."
"It would also help if they lowered the cost of their service."
"The scalability and technical support can be improved."
"The product must improve its prices."
"The initial setup is pretty easy; we have built a knowledge base. But there's a learning curve for beginners."
"I'd like to see more integration with different platforms."
"Its cloud features could be better."
"In Fortinet, the packet reconstruction in the SD-WAN solution needs a little bit of improvement. When it comes to the Secure Access to the switches or the mix of Fortinet solution, the very small ones do not have the capability to use fiber cables. So, the small FortiGates have to work with the copper cables and cannot use fiber cables. Even though they have the capacity and throughput on all technical connectors, they don't have the interfaces, which is one of the good things with Cisco. They just add models to it. You buy the independent models, and you add them."
"The solution has SD-WAN but it doesn't have SDN. This should be added."
