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."It works really well, I think the equipment is solid, and the help is great."
"The most valuable feature is that I can completely isolate devices that are compromising the network."
"The most valuable feature of this product is its simplicity."
"Fortinet FortiSwitch - Secure Access has good scalability."
"The software is very stable."
"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 can say that the product is easy to use...The initial setup of the product was easy."
"I haven't found the cost of the solution to be too high."
"We have integrated the tool for PoE switches and non-PoE switches. Its most valuable feature is SD-WAN. UniFi SD-WAN can access all statistics and performance data in one interface, enabling us to support clients across different locations remotely. Additionally, we can even restart devices remotely through the UniFi SD-WAN."
"It's very easy to deploy – much easier than MikroTik. It's very seamless and well-designed."
"The value here with using the Ubiquiti products across the board is that they're almost all single-pane management and the single-pane management is included. It's a huge benefit."
"I can see which ports are connected and which ones are disconnected."
"The product’s most valuable features are stability and scalability."
"The product is seamless and robust."
"The most valuable feature of Ubiquiti UniFi Switches is that once you buy them, you own them."
"The range of products could improve from Fortinet FortiSwitch - Secure Access."
"While Fortinet is good for school boards and mid-sized businesses, enterprise-class networks require a zero-trust solution. If you're building a zero-trust network with end-to-end security, that's where Fortinet falls behind Cisco, HPE, and Aruba."
"Its cloud features could be better."
"The product's end-user protection feature needs improvement."
"It would also help if they lowered the cost of their service."
"If you contact Fortinet, it's a bit difficult. Most of the time, they send you just links and documents to read for troubleshooting. When you contact support, you don't need documents. You want someone that can understand your problem, give a hand, and help you. I'm not impressed by the support really."
"I would like Fortinet to make this product easier to configure."
"The product's pricing needs improvement for small and medium businesses."
"The stability and installation could be improved."
"I'd like there to be better reporting for the solution."
"I would like to see the pricing improved."
"Ubiquiti UniFi Switches need to add DNS lookup features."
"The initial deployment was a bit complex."
"In terms of improvement, sometimes we have bugs."
"One area for improvement would be having a web interface directly on the device itself. That's the one thing that makes them more difficult for less experienced technicians to configure."
"There is currently an issue with supply of switches which needs to be sorted out."
