"The tool provides a firewall and good performance."
"It is a cheap and secure solution. The job switching and security features are better than other solutions."
"I like that everything flows back to FortiGate, which is the controller, management console, and firewall. There's one central point for the entire network, so the security, switching, wireless, etc., flows back to the FortiGate. The ease of management is what customers like. They don't need separate solutions like Cisco."

"It is easy to set up."

"Key features are integrated WiFi client performance tools, sophisticated user access controls, and easy and understandable controls and interfaces."

"The most valuable feature of Ruckus Wireless is its exceptional performance and reliability. The signal is highly reliable. We have not received a single complaint in the past year, which is a marked improvement from our prior equipment."
"Zero-handoff is one of the top features. The client balancing between the access points is good. Its security is also fine."
"The most valuable feature is the coverage, which is exceptional."
