Fortinet FortiExtender Valuable Features
Having the FortiExtender as a part of an SD-WAN topology is a major competitive value. You don't need to have two different vendors to interoperate and get into comparability issues or inter-operability issues. FortiExtender is part of what we call the Fortinet Fabric. Once you install it, it's very seamless. When it comes to implementing FortiExtender, it gives you a very major value. With an SD-WAN topology, you overcome a lot of connectivity limitations. With a standalone ADM, for example, in case you don't have the proper NPLS termination ready yet, a lot of approval needs to be in place from the government and so on, so forth. You can launch the service in no time. To make the long story short, the major value we're looking at is the inter-operability and the integration into what we call the Fortinet Fabric. It offers seamless integration and flexibility.

For me, the best feature of Fortinet FortiExtender is its integration with an external solution such as a 5G LTE broadband modem, wired modem, and cellular network. I also like that the product can be integrated into one device or a unified device, and that is one of its best features because it allows you to manage and centralize the control of every device.

The most valuable feature is that management can be carried out from a central point. As a result, the Fortinet Firewall's management is centralized, making things easier.

The redundancy and the functionality of the SD-WAN connection that gives us the possibility to connect via smartphones is the solution's most valuable feature. The load sharing is also very good.
The solution is extremely user-friendly.

We haven't implemented all of the features. We are just about to implement the captive portal and the edit to 1X authentication. It's taken us a little bit of time to get there. At the moment we are just using it as an open wireless access point.
