"It provides private network access, helping us protect our company’s devices."
"We're using SD-WAN at all of our locations now, which helps increase and aggregate and lower response time and improve application performance."
"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 Fortinet FortiWLM system can be controlled through the cloud controller, which is convenient when the solution is not installed in our environment, as it allows us to manage the entire WiFi or access points and provides more adaptability."

"Security is the feature we like most from Fortinet. In general, their security architecture is really great, because it involves everything: firewalls, wireless LANs, the user. Everything is really secure."
"Ability to control the access points by groups."
"The most useful aspect of Mist AI and Cloud is automation capabilities."
"I have a very good experience with the solution. Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."

"The Marvis feature of Mist AI, an artificial intelligence tool, is very useful."
"It's really easy to provision and support. Those are its main features."
"The AI deployment process involves adding access points and placing them in the designated area. The AI system automatically adjusts channel selection and transmission power without any issues with stability or throughput. It has improved network performance."

"Cost is something that could be improved, but you have to pay for what you get."
"The pricing for the solution is expensive and can be improved."
"When using the FortiGate as the wireless controller, you cannot have automatic user registration, which is something that they should offer."
"They need to do more with their marketing. That's what's wrong with them. Nobody knows they do all this other stuff. I love the product. For an enterprise-level system, you never have to explain why you're recommending Fortinet, whereas you might have to do that if you want to use the Ubiquiti Professional or the new Netgear line, but you don't have to explain Fortinet. It has been remarkable to work with."
"The interface could certainly do with some improvement. We have other customers with WiFi networks, and they always use Ubiquiti. With Ubiquiti, it's a much better user interface, and it is much easier to configure."
"This solution should be easier to set up in a production environment."
"The range needs some improvement and also the stability."
"The solution has various licensing policies. It will be easy to use if it is an open single license."
"The solution doesn't provide mail notifications currently."
"Juniper should integrate all their dashboards instead of having separate dashboards...Since it lacks the integration of dashboards, Juniper needs to improve it."
"Sometimes it takes a lot of time for the access point to connect with the cloud."
"The inter-functionality with other vendors was a negative for us."
"There seems to be different versions of standards used in the wireless access points. In the future, it would be helpful if the solution could come up with some kind of universal standard for all devices and all access points."
"The solution lacks documentation."
"There is no local support for Mist in Brazil."
