"Fortinet FortiSwitch - Secure Access has essential features for managing switches."
"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 tool provides a firewall and good performance."
"The most valuable feature is that I can completely isolate devices that are compromising the network."
"It can integrate well with other Fortinet products."
"I can say that the product is easy to use...The initial setup of the product was easy."
"Ability to manage FortiAP, FortiClient, and FortiGate all from a single console"
"I like that it's fairly easy to implement these ethernet switches."
"Juniper Ethernet Switches are high-end solutions."
"It's easy to use."
"It is stable."
"I like the VLAN capabilities, and the Junos interface is easy to use."
"It's stable and reliable."
"The GUI interface distinguishes it from other vendors and makes it easy to operate."
"The feature I like the most is the ability to reword changes before committing to the change. We can always reword changes in 10 minutes if they don't work."
"It is always nice when something is cheaper."
"The product's pricing needs improvement for small and medium businesses."
"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."
"It would also help if they lowered the cost of their service."
"I'd like to see more integration with different platforms."
"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."
"Currently issues with some of the switches and problems with the firmware."
"Technical support needs to take a different approach and pricing should appear more competitive."
"Juniper Ethernet Switches' operating systems get corrupted when the power fails. They have to improve this issue. I may have to use a newer version."
"The protocols can be tunneled, but on a global basis, not on an interface, and this is a feature that should be added."
"In the next release of this solution, I would like to see better integration with software-defined networking."
"Their web GUI interface needs to be a lot better, especially when compared to HP. The command line is good, but you have to know how to get around it. The GUI is clunky and very slow."
"The packet channelizing feature should be improved."
"The price could be a bit lower."
"Juniper's support could be much better and faster."
"Jupiter Switches' configuration is a little difficult to understand."
