Find out what your peers are saying about Cisco, HPE Aruba Networking, Ubiquiti Networks and others in Ethernet Switches."Easy to integrate with any of the other hardware platforms."
"The good thing about the StrataDNX is that the Broadcom family is very interchangeable, so they work well with different optical transceivers."
"I like that everything flows back to FortiGate, which is the controller, management console, and firewall. There's one central point for the entire network, so the security, switching, wireless, etc., flows back to the FortiGate. The ease of management is what customers like. They don't need separate solutions like Cisco."
"The software is very stable."
"Fortinet FortiSwitch - Secure Access has good scalability."
"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 is the breakability after integration with the FortiGate firewall."
"The most valuable feature is the security switch."
"Deploying the solution is a breeze, even a novice can do it."
"It is a cheap and secure solution. The job switching and security features are better than other solutions."
"There is room for improvement in the pricing model."
"The number of surfaces that can be handled by the chipset could be increased."
"Its cloud features could be better."
"We had experienced downtime. I would like to see it to be improved."
"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."
"Fortinet FortiSwitch - Secure Access is confusing with too many add-ons."
"The product's end-user protection feature needs improvement."
"I give the stability a seven out of ten because we have noticed when we hook up phones the switching of ELANs et cetera doesn't work as it should."
"The product could use more security related features."
"The central management needs improvement. The initial setup could be easier."
