Rules in the firewall mean we can protect data and systems so that, should anything go wrong, any security issue is held to an individual device."
"The most valuable features are central management and the many other features available."
"Seamless roaming by leveraging Virtual Cell is a major advantage which reduces roam times and issues related to roaming. Code stability has been excellent and the hardware quality is second to none."

"Fortinet FortiWLM is good for tracking assets, monitoring, and overall management."
"The most valuable feature of Fortinet FortiWLM is the single management pane and integrated controller inside the firewall."

"The Artificial Intelligence on offer is very useful."
"There weren't any scalability issues, the product did what it had to do."

"The pricing for the solution is expensive and can be improved."
"Areas for improvement would be the compatibility with Apple products and cross-platform integration."
"The roaming of Fortinet FortiWLM could improve when comparing it to other solutions. We are missing some of the functionality in the controller. Additionally, they should offer more logs instead of using FortiAnalyzer because all the users will not be using the same thing."
"Technical support is very poor. We are not satisfied with the technical support because there is not any direct person from Fortinet for any troubleshooting, which we expected."

"The biggest issue was that Juniper stopped developing, so we had to look for another solution."
"There could be more information from the controller, and it could be easier to work with the controller lights. It's not easy to bring up the upgrades."
"The solution should create configuration documentation."
