We performed a comparison between Alcatel-Lucent OmniSwitch Ethernet Switches and Fortinet FortiSwitch - Secure Access based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."The fibre ports that are 10 Gb capacity helped with the travel of a lot of regular as well as video data. Fibre can handle a lot more virtual data than copper twisted-pair, so we got a lot more data and a lot more traffic signals back through the fibre ports, faster, than with copper."
"We are able to customize this solution based on the customer's requirements."
"It's easy to extend the stack, We don't use the smaller switches, but it's going well for the rest."
"The new web graphical interface is much better than before. We now have easy access to the command lines. They're all functional."
"OmniSwitch Ethernet Switches' best features are it's easy to deploy, manage, and maintain, with services coming through one vendor."
"This is a dependable switch which will help you sleep at night."
"Enables direct access to clusters."
"The solution has a very good web interface. It makes it easy to manage everything."
"The most valuable feature is that I can completely isolate devices that are compromising the network."
"The most valuable feature is the breakability after integration with the FortiGate firewall."
"I can say that the product is easy to use...The initial setup of the product was easy."
"The most valuable feature is the security switch."
"The product is very secure."

"I rate Fortinet support 10 out of 10. Their support is excellent and inexpensive. They respond immediately."
"The visual scope of the solution is very good. It allows me to see and download all of the network information."
"I could see them possibly creating a more intuitive software. It's very user-friendly, but there are some things that aren't very intuitive when programming the switches."
"There needs to be better integration with the interface."
"I find the CLI hard to use. I wish we could do more in the GUI interface."
"The product would be better if it were completely compatible with other switching products."
"technical support response time is sometimes very slow."
"In future versions, I would like to see improvements in networking speed."
"The network connection should be improved."
"OmniSwitch Ethernet Switches would be improved if cloud-based technology was provided in the Gulf region."

"It would also help if they lowered the cost of their service."
"The product could use more security related features."
"I believe that stacking, a feature that is available in Huawei and Cisco, is not available in Fortinet products."
"When we started using the solution, it was quite complex but then it became easier to use. It takes a while to get used to the interface."
"More integration would be helpful, especially since we sometimes have devices from other companies. Improved interoperability would be very beneficial."
"I'd like to see more integration with different platforms."
