Find out what your peers are saying about Cisco, Fortinet, HPE Aruba Networking and others in Network Management Applications."ExtremeCloud IQ is integrated with the Ekahau tool so that you can log in to the ExtremeCloud IQ portal, upload the cloud plans, draw all the interiors, and plan the APs with the real-time AP position."
"This solution's most valuable feature is its short deployment time."
"The cloud management gives us the tools and reports that we need to monitor and troubleshoot the network."
"ExtremeCloud offers features that not a lot of other vendors do like their data storage and the ability to swap licenses."
"The HiveManager integration with the VPN Gateway is awesome."
"Everything can be seen from the dashboard."
"The Client 360 feature provides a comprehensive view of your clients and their activities, including the devices they use. Additionally, a feature called Network 360 offers a 360-degree view of the network, like data usage (in GB), the status of ports and AP, and other details. You can drill down on granular-level drills to gain insights into specific applications and usage patterns like application level and fee, where your data is being wasted or what your clients are doing with the Internet data, what kind of applications they are using, etc."
"When we deployed the new IP that is managed wirelessly in the cloud, it fixed the problems. Now, we don't have any more reports, and everything works fine."
"The most valuable feature of Fortinet FortiGate Cloud is the logs are stored longer on this cloud version. If you have the on-premise version you will not be able to store the logs for more than one or two months."
"It's user-friendly."
"This is a vast system that includes a lot of features."
"The VPN features are the most valuable."
"This product is easy to manage and easy to use."
"One firewall box can contain various top-of-the-line services that are packaged together for easy administration."
"FortiGate Cloud's key features are the user interface and ease of access."
"The installation is very simple."
"We have had some mediocre to poor experiences with tech support: Conflicting information, condescending attitudes, and reluctance to work to resolve an issue."
"Its price could be lower. It is a simplified solution, but it has price challenges. It is costly as compared to other solutions. It has almost everything. The only thing is that MAC is not possible on the cloud, and it has to be on-premises."
"An area for improvement in ExtremeCloud IQ is its technical support. Support could be better, especially when you need help concerning ExtremeCloud IQ and WinG."
"Browser load time for the cloud is long and needs improvement."
"We'd like to have a cloud dashboard from which we can see all devices."
"I would like to see more security features such as NAC integrated to the solution. This would allow customers to be able to control all other users under one dashboard."
"I would like to see a remote phone application for monitoring APs when on the road."
"The managing of switches within this solution could be improved."
"The licensing is a little bit confusing and needs to be improved."
"There are European and US clouds and sometimes we mix them up. The solution should make determining the clouds more clear, or make one cloud instead of having separate ones."
"We are seeking a solution that can monitor our network traffic running through 17 firewalls in Malaysia and Indonesia. We want a solution that can record and monitor all the logs from all the firewalls. We want to consolidate all our firewalls into one portal so we can monitor all the activities from all the firewalls."
"The solution should include a commit button that allows for review of changes and deployments before they are submitted."
"I recommend that Fortinet FortiGate Cloud improve their rules for configuration with each other."
"The interface and dashboards should improve in Fortinet FortiGate Cloud. Other solutions have better graphical interfaces."
"The solution should allow users to keep the data for longer than the current periods. I can't get any historic data after more than a month. I would like to be able to, after a year, look for trends from the past 12 months. It would make things much easier."
"It would be better for us if Fortinet provided a private cloud, and they should provide more security on the public cloud. There are some minor issues with security with the public cloud. For example, anyone with a link can access the public cloud."
