"The technical support is fantastic!"
"The solution's most valuable aspect is its monitoring capabilities."
"The solution has great open architecture."
"This is a very stable product with good performance."
"The most valuable feature is the security that these switches provide."
"All of the networking products that we use are Aruba, so we use Aruba Central to manage them."
"The most valuable features are the stability and compatibility with other products."
"We have found that the command line interface is very useful and very similar to Cisco devices."
"The solution has made configuration and setup very, very easy."
"Configurations between FortiGate and FortiSwitch have to link to each other. We need configuration. The configuration is not like a Cisco switch. It has a unique configuration."
"It integrates well."
"The most valuable feature is the port analytics."
"An affordable and stable solution for small-medium companies."
"I have found the solution to be scalable."
"We are able to monitor everything that is happening on our network."
"The interface is very straightforward."
"We would like to see centralized, cloud-based management."
"The dashboard could be improved, especially for the CX Switches. It would help to push scripts and configurations via an easy to use dashboard, one which would give us complete visibility of all of our switches in one place. Right now, we have more than one dashboard for Aruba. It would be nice if it was centralized."
"If you work for a small business, then Cisco would be best."
"The element of security always can be improved. If the solution continues to improve its security functionality, it will continue to be a great product."
"The product could be a little more competitive price-wise."
"They have limited CLI options in the UI and this is something that needs improvement."
"It would be better and easier for us to buy if the price were reduced."
"I would prefer it if they reduced the cost of the switches and the access points."
"The solution could always benefit from more security. It's of critical importance to organizations right now."
"Does not have as many features as other solutions, such as segmentation and analytics engines."
"When there are many switches being used, the speed declines noticeably."
"The solution can improve by upgrading QSFP+, it is very limited and must be supported more than it is now. If we need FortiSwitches to support all the QSFP ports our budgets would have to be very large."
"FortiSwitch should improve the FortiGate map. The diagram cannot move automatically to show the switch. The map does not map the physical location. It cannot move or touch the diagram."
"With IT products, there is always room for improvement."
"We need to understand a bit more about certifications and knowledge for understanding capabilities. The solution should make that more clear to its users."
"The FortiSwitch product was initially quite complex."
