"This is a big telco switch with six slots."
"I rate Fortinet support 10 out of 10. Their support is excellent and inexpensive. They respond immediately."
"It is very user-friendly. There is no need to use command lines to configure it or to do anything in it. You hardly use command lines, which makes it different from Cisco. In Cisco, the CLI is your best friend. Fortinet has the lowest TCO, so you can use its integrated components without having to buy additional licenses. They provide centralized management without needing to buy or acquire additional licenses. You have an integral or complete vision through a single pane of glass, and you can see everything from one single console without having to buy additional licenses, which is a plus. It works the same way when you add wireless. You can see everything from FortiGate. It has a security processor, which is another plus. It does not have a standard desktop processor. It has a multi-threat security processor, and it is built by Fortinet. So, all the components that you include in a Fortinet solution are proprietary and work in an integral way. It has one single solution, whereas other brands, such as Palo Alto and Check Point, have been acquiring certain solutions, and they're not fully integrated. With Fortinet, everything is integrated. If you start building on Fortinet, everything that you expand to the local LAN or WAN is integrated. You don't have to pay for professional services and other things to do that. Their technical information is also very good. Most of their information is based on how-to, and it can be found online, which is something my clients like."
"The software is very stable."
"The visual scope of the solution is very good. It allows me to see and download all of the network information."
"The product is very secure."
"The product is a total solution with the FortiGate, switch, and access point. It is integrated with FortiGate, allowing us to manage all the equipment through it. You can handle everything from a single point."
"It works really well, I think the equipment is solid, and the help is great."
"My advice those using a firewall Fortigate is: use their APs because they work very well."
"Enterasys could provide better support, needs an improved user interface and improved performance."
"The initial setup could be made simpler."
"I'd like to see more integration with different platforms."
"FortiSwitch requires periodic firmware updates. It can be a little difficult because the switches aren't connected to the internet, so you cannot upgrade the firmware remotely. You need to go to the site and do it manually because it's a closed network."
"The initial setup is pretty easy; we have built a knowledge base. But there's a learning curve for beginners."
"The range of products could improve from Fortinet FortiSwitch - Secure Access."
"I feel that the product's stability is an area where improvements are required."
"Fortinet FortiSwitch - Secure Access is confusing with too many add-ons."
"More integration would be helpful, especially since we sometimes have devices from other companies. Improved interoperability would be very beneficial."
"The installation is not difficult. However, some features have to be activated from the CLI."
