Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It has a nice graphic interface and it is easy to find information about effectively using the product because of the large user-base.""We think it's a good solution for cloud security, where one has hybrid cloud. They have different cloud solutions like a Office 365 or Azure or Amazon. This is a good solution to control all the different cloud solutions you have in your family of hybrid clouds, from one panel. This is what the main feature we look for.""I like the traffic monitoring because it meets the firewall protocols."

Cons
"It should be set up more specifically so that I only pay for what I want.""However, we would like them to add more integrations. We would appreciate a more open solution.

"Fortinet FortiWLC is not simple to configure when compared to other solutions. The design could be better.""One thing that is lacking is, compared with some other brands, the signal is a bit weaker. Ruckus has much wider signal coverage."
