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."

"Cost is something that could be improved, but you have to pay for what you get."
"Areas for improvement would be the compatibility with Apple products and cross-platform integration."
"When using the FortiGate as the wireless controller, you cannot have automatic user registration, which is something that they should offer."
"The solution should improve user capacity."
"They need to do more with their marketing. That's what's wrong with them. Nobody knows they do all this other stuff. I love the product. For an enterprise-level system, you never have to explain why you're recommending Fortinet, whereas you might have to do that if you want to use the Ubiquiti Professional or the new Netgear line, but you don't have to explain Fortinet. It has been remarkable to work with."
"One of the main features that I see as lacking in any of the Fortinet products is the reporting. If you want to have proper, end-to-end reporting, you must purchase the FortiAnalyzer... If Fortinet could offer some better, built-in reporting, that would be a point of improvement."
"They could enhance their products by integrating cloud access into each device."
"When I started to upgrade, the controller for Unbuntu was really struggling to start up, however, that has since been solved."
"The solution should improve stability."
"There seems to be a drop in service. It's definitely a reliability or stability issue we face."
"The downside is the interface changes, where they are constantly doing firmware updates."
"The strength of the signal from the access points could be improved."
"I have found they need to work on the stability of the solution."
"I have never used cloud solutions. My first approach would be something related to the cloud, and backups on the cloud, and maybe an easier way to connect to it because I have an on-premises environment."
