The initial setup is simple. To deploy a switch, we have to configure it in the headquarters, ship it to the branch, plug it in, and start using it.

Fortinet FortiSwitch - Data Center's installation is straightforward. 

The initial setup process is easy.

The solution is deployed on-premises.

The solution's initial setup was pretty straightforward.

The solution’s initial setup is straightforward.

I rate the ease of setup a seven out of ten. When we were installing the solution for the very first time, we had to introduce a bug to ensure everything was working. We encountered some issues. We did overcome those issues in the end, but it took some time.

The tool's installation is easy and takes about one to two hours to complete. 

FortiSwitch implementation is quite straightforward and very simple, unlike other products. It's easy in part because we already have FortiGate in our environment and the integration is seamless. It's just a matter of enabling FortiSwitch. It's like dedicating an interface on FortiGate. You simply dedicate that FortiGate interface for FortiSwitches and FortiSwitch will automatically connect to FortiGate.

Instantly, you've got visibility to that switch, which you can manage everything through FortiGate. 

You can also use FortiGate as a standalone unit. However, we mostly work with FortiSwitch through FortiGate. The beauty of that is that you don't have to log in to several switches if you've got FortiGate to manage them. You can simply manage them from one interface through FortiGate.

Initial setup was simple and done by our company. Deployment took from one to two hours.

The initial setup is easy and did not present any difficulties.

The initial setup is straightforward.

While the FortiSwitch setup process is not very involved, the need to do regional configuration can be a tricky issue. There is a learning process. 

The initial setup was straightforward. It wasn't complex at all. We found it to be relatively painless.

The installation is not difficult.

The initial setup is not very difficult. The manufacturer has a lot of documentation about the product in their documentation website. We do all of the configurations from the documentation that is available. It's not difficult.

This is not an area that I am involved with. I did not set up this solution. For me, it would be difficult.

The initial setup was simple. All it required was connecting the cable to the correct port, which took only a few minutes.
