Find out what your peers are saying about Cisco, HPE Aruba Networking, Ubiquiti Networks and others in Ethernet Switches."Fortinet FortiSwitch - Secure Access has essential features for managing switches."
"The technical support has been very good."
"The solution is easy to scale."
"It is a stable solution from the security front."
"I rate Fortinet support 10 out of 10. Their support is excellent and inexpensive. They respond immediately."
"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."
"The product is very secure."
"The most valuable feature is the breakability after integration with the FortiGate firewall."
"The solution is scalable."
"Ubiquiti WLAN has good availability, and it is much cheaper."
"Great management interface."
"Ubiquiti WLAN has been stable and is easy to install."
"All of the interfacing is very good."
"Firstly, I initially purchased the device to build a VPN, and one very valuable feature for me was the ability to create a layer two VPN, which was available on the legacy ER router. It allowed me to expand a subnet to a remote site, which was essential for my setup. Additionally, I appreciated that the CLI of the router was similar to other Juniper products that I was familiar with."
"It is a very stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The product’s most valuable feature is the workflow-driven setup for the infrastructure component."
"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."
"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."
"When we started using the solution, it was quite complex but then it became easier to use. It takes a while to get used to the interface."
"It could be simpler but compared to the competition, it's not so bad."
"It would also help if they lowered the cost of their service."
"The product's end-user protection feature needs improvement."
"I don't like the way it's managed."
"Technical support needs to take a different approach and pricing should appear more competitive."
"The product needs to improve the user interface in the migration from old to new versions."
"The strength of the signal from the access points could be improved."
"The solution could improve by having a cloud version. A cloud version is the easiest to configure anywhere in the world."
"The solution should improve stability."
"If they can integrate or release a single platform because, currently, there are two different platforms for switches and routers. So, maintaining just one unified platform, like, for example, unifying the models or brands, and avoiding separate platforms for edge switches, edge routers, and other Ubiquiti products, would simplify the integration and implementation process."
"When I started to upgrade, the controller for Unbuntu was really struggling to start up, however, that has since been solved."
"The product must provide better warranties."
"The support needs improvement. The official support is kind of complex. It's not that straightforward compared to Cisco and Aruba."
