Fortinet FortiExtender Stability

The only feedback we're getting is that we need to access the unit or basically reboot the unit during the firmware upgrade process. That's the only time you need to touch the unit, to upgrade, even for maintenance, which is done centrally. If you have 1,000 standalone ADMs that you need to manage and you're having a firmware upgrade that affected some security issues, instead of doing the exact same functionality a thousand times, you can do it from within a centralized management console. That would be FortiManager, in the case of affording that technology. The management's very easy, very straightforward. We used to have some complications, some bugs here and there. However, generally speaking, from a management perspective, the calls we'll see from the clients are most likely about firmware upgrades and bug fixes. Maybe a customer cannot plug it in correctly and he's wondering about some options here and there. However, in terms of stability, I can say, 95 to 98% of the time, it's stable. It's a stable product.

You don't have much to do with the 4G. It's all about the physical layout. It's like a modem with a data link or network wire attached. It's a fairly mature product.

Fortinet FortiExtender is a stable product. It was up for one to two years for my client, and as an external device, it was awesome.
