We performed a comparison between Fortinet FortiSwitch - Secure Access and Huawei Ethernet Switches 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."One of the most feature-packed switching solutions you can implement."
"What I actually use in this deployment are Forti APs (Fortinet Access Points). So, I can see all my office infrastructure from a single console, which is handy. One FortiGate, one FortiSwitch, and five access points, everything under good control. It's really nice to see it all together like this."
"I would rate the the ease of management and scalability within our network architecture an eight out of ten, with ten being best."
"The tool's setup was very easy."
"The most valuable feature would be network management, separating the network management component from security. It can do both but we promote it on its own. It's a good solution to do network management."
"Ability to manage FortiAP, FortiClient, and FortiGate all from a single console"
"The tool's VLAN feature is easy to understand. It was very good."
"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."
"We have not encountered any issues in the locations where the product has been deployed. I am impressed with its performance and pricing."
"Huawei Ethernet Switches are very stable."
"So far, so good when it comes to stability."
"Easy to use, flexible, stable, and offers great performance."
"They last quite a while."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"Huawei switches come in small, medium, and large capacities and can be used for monitoring and switching."
"The solution is easy to set up."
"We had experienced downtime. I would like to see it to be improved."
"An area for improvement would be the segmentation and network in logic networks."
"The reporting capabilities should be included."
"It could be simpler but compared to the competition, it's not so bad."
"I believe that stacking, a feature that is available in Huawei and Cisco, is not available in Fortinet products."
"The tool should improve its CLI."
"I feel that the product's stability is an area where improvements are required."
"The pricing could be improved, and it could be easier to configure."
"We would like to see additional backup solutions, since we have several degrees of backup."
"It is not easy to use if you need to monitor, patch or update. It needs to be configured by a network specialist because it doesn't have an overall central monitoring tool or anything like that. I'd say no ease of use."
"The stability can be improved."
"The technical support is technically savvy, but the communication via English is not so easy."
"Dashboard could be improved."
"The availability and the speed of the firmware updates are the only things wrong with Huawei. There are some vulnerabilities on the hardware."
