Find out in this report how the two Ethernet Switches solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."They are easy to use, they are cheaper, and it's a trusted brand."
"The reliability of the solution has been the best feature."

"They're straightforward and stable."
"The software is very stable."
"The most valuable feature is the security switch."
"I rate Fortinet support 10 out of 10. Their support is excellent and inexpensive. They respond immediately."
"It works really well, I think the equipment is solid, and the help is great."
"This device is easy to use."
"What I actually use in this deployment are Forti APs (Fortinet Access Points). So, I can see all my office infrastructure from a single console, which is handy. One FortiGate, one FortiSwitch, and five access points, everything under good control. It's really nice to see it all together like this."
"The most valuable feature would be network management, separating the network management component from security. It can do both but we promote it on its own. It's a good solution to do network management."
"The product is very secure."
"When we try to do configuration changes sometimes it malfunctions."
"The cost and the integration with other solutions could be better."
"I think there's nothing that needs to be improved because the company is no longer in existence."
"The technical support services need improvement in terms of communication."
"The configuration of 3Com H3C Switches could be better."
"An area for improvement would be the segmentation and network in logic networks."
"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."
"The initial setup is pretty easy; we have built a knowledge base. But there's a learning curve for beginners."
"I'd like to see more integration with different platforms."
"It would be easier if Fortinet FortiSwitch - Secure Access could be managed via cloud, and this is something that could be improved in this product. Bandwidth display could also be better."
"They could provide integration with Fortinet Authenticator."
"Its cloud features could be better."
"In the next release, I would like to see more outdoor products."
