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 product's most valuable feature is its ability to manage switches from one central point."
"SD-WAN and the security fabric are essential features of the product."
"The product is stable."
"An affordable and stable solution for small-medium companies."
"I like the solution's technical support. I rate the technical support a ten out of ten."
"A valuable feature of FortiGate is its management integrity."
"It integrates well."
"The most valuable feature is the port analytics."
"I would gladly recommend Ubiquiti UniFi Switches."
"Because it's a managed switch, I have the ability to set controls and configure traffic priorities, VLAN ports, etc."
"The product is seamless and robust."
"I can see which ports are connected and which ones are disconnected."
"Ubiquiti's network management and the way you can manage many different devices on a network are really nice."
"The user interface makes it simple to configure and manage."
"It's very easy to deploy – much easier than MikroTik. It's very seamless and well-designed."
"I haven't found the cost of the solution to be too high."
"The tool is not easy to use."
"When there are many switches being used, the speed declines noticeably."
"The solution could always benefit from more security. It's of critical importance to organizations right now."
"Does not have as many features as other solutions, such as segmentation and analytics engines."
"Before using FortiSwitch, you need several certifications."
"Routing is an area in Fortinet FortiSwitch with certain shortcomings where improvements are needed."
"With IT products, there is always room for improvement."
"The solution can improve by upgrading QSFP+, it is very limited and must be supported more than it is now. If we need FortiSwitches to support all the QSFP ports our budgets would have to be very large."
"Ubiquiti UniFi Switches’s pricing could be less expensive."
"The stability and installation could be improved."
"It would be helpful to have better visibility into exactly what is going on in the network."
"In terms of improvement, sometimes we have bugs."
"I would like to see the pricing improved."
"I had some initial problems with the configuration that necessitated contacting technical support."
"They can improve the visibility of networks to match Meraki switches, which have good visibility tools to go through the network. In a Meraki device, you get a clear picture when using the bug interface. You can also see its neighbors and have a clear picture of all connected devices. Ubiquiti UniFi Switches do not have such features that Meraki switches provide."
"One area for improvement would be having a web interface directly on the device itself. That's the one thing that makes them more difficult for less experienced technicians to configure."
