"With Mist, every Wednesday they roll out new features."
"We can deploy a tunnel-based VLAN and SSID, for something that happens at the last minute, in a matter of minutes, because of the interaction between the FortiGate, the FortiSwitches, and the FortiAPs."
"I found that It's really good when comparing it to any other product or it is much better in terms of features that the customer requires."
"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."
"Fortinet FortiWLM is good for tracking assets, monitoring, and overall management."
"The most valuable features are central management and the many other features available."
"Seamless roaming by leveraging Virtual Cell is a major advantage which reduces roam times and issues related to roaming. Code stability has been excellent and the hardware quality is second to none."
"We're using SD-WAN at all of our locations now, which helps increase and aggregate and lower response time and improve application performance."
"The most valuable features of this solution are its speed, reliability, and integration with the firewall."
"The product is very user-friendly."
"One of the standout features is the ease of installation and commissioning, making the whole process very straightforward."
"The connectivity is good. There's no lag at all in service."
"Ruckus has multiple radios. Therefore, it supports high speed for users and clients. Other vendors have fluctuations in speed. The main thing about Ruckus is that you can trust it and rely on its speed. I am simply satisfied with it."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of adding an access point."
"The most valuable features are the ease of deployment, the coverage that it offers, and the reliability."
"The initial setup of Ruckus Wireless WAN is very easy."
"Tech support is good."
"There is room for improvement in terms of support and installation."
"The price could be better."
"Improving third-party integration is key for Juniper Mist's next release."
"Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points’ support services need improvement."
"The pricing should be made cheaper."
"Juniper Wireless AP can improve by continually improving its reporting and integration with other systems."
"The solution is expensive."
"I need a bit more time with it before criticizing the features."
"I have used Cisco previously and I don't see any specific differences from Fortinet FortiWLM or other vendors."
"The range needs some improvement and also the stability."
"The guest management features need to be improved by adding automation."
"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 roaming of Fortinet FortiWLM could improve when comparing it to other solutions. We are missing some of the functionality in the controller. Additionally, they should offer more logs instead of using FortiAnalyzer because all the users will not be using the same thing."
"When using the FortiGate as the wireless controller, you cannot have automatic user registration, which is something that they should offer."
"The initial setup is complex and has room for improvement."
"Technical support is very poor. We are not satisfied with the technical support because there is not any direct person from Fortinet for any troubleshooting, which we expected."
"The controller could be made less complicated, so those who are less technically sound can maintain it."
"Really, it's just about centralizing manageability across multiple sites, but like I said, that's me commenting on the old product that we've got. I know they've addressed that now with cloud controllers, but that would've been my main thing."
"This product needs a point-to-point, bridge solution."
"I believe there is room for improvement in the price structure."
"The solution could be more stable."
"The stability of the solution could improve in an upcoming release."
"They could include a firewall feature in the next release but even there it's not really necessary"
"Technical support is something that needs to be improved."
