We have used the support from Fortinet FortiWLC. We opened a ticket to Fortinet support. They have good support, but it was a simple issue that we had to be resolved.

The security within the access point and the controller is the solution's most valuable aspect. In terms of pricing, they are very competitive in the Philippines. When it comes to technical support, we were given top priority support on some issues and have been happy with them overall. The solution is stable. It's easy to set everything up during implementation. The solution can scale.
