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 solution is reliable."
"It's very easy to configure URLs."
"Administration can be done using the web-based interface."
"It is a stable and good product."
"Cisco products are always stable."
"Cisco Linksys Ethernet Switches have a good interface, and the documentation is detailed."
"The installation process is straightforward."
"Overall, they have a good quality product."
"The product is very secure."
"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."
"It works really well, I think the equipment is solid, and the help is great."
"Integration is good, as well as price and technical support."
"The tool's VLAN feature is easy to understand. It was very good."
"One of the most feature-packed switching solutions you can implement."
"Fortinet FortiSwitch - Secure Access has essential features for managing switches."
"The solution is easy to scale."
"Linksys switches are expensive but scalable."
"They could work on the pricing and make it more affordable for everyone."
"Linksys support is subpar."
"The Cisco user interfaces can be difficult to use and maintain."
"I would like to see more manageability. That's primarily the reason why Linksys switches don't work in the enterprise space. They don't have the management and capabilities of other switches."
"The solution's price could be better."
"We are using an old version of this solution and it could be more stable."
"Integration with other networks is possible, but you have to configure it."
"The installation is not difficult. However, some features have to be activated from the CLI."
"The central management needs improvement. The initial setup could be easier."
"In Fortinet, the packet reconstruction in the SD-WAN solution needs a little bit of improvement. When it comes to the Secure Access to the switches or the mix of Fortinet solution, the very small ones do not have the capability to use fiber cables. So, the small FortiGates have to work with the copper cables and cannot use fiber cables. Even though they have the capacity and throughput on all technical connectors, they don't have the interfaces, which is one of the good things with Cisco. They just add models to it. You buy the independent models, and you add them."
"We had experienced downtime. I would like to see it to be improved."
"I feel that the product's stability is an area where improvements are required."
"The scalability and technical support can be improved."
"Fortinet FortiSwitch - Secure Access is confusing with too many add-ons."
"They could provide integration with Fortinet Authenticator."
