"The most valuable feature is the port analytics."
"An affordable and stable solution for small-medium companies."
"I like the solution's technical support. I rate the technical support a ten out of ten."
"What I like about the solution is that it can be accessed anywhere."
"A valuable feature of FortiGate is its management integrity."
"The CLI syntax for this solution is different from other switches such as Cisco and Juniper, and it takes us a long time to integrate a new device and get it working properly."
"I think there is a need for more support of new generation technologies."
"They could improve availability and security by detecting and preventing switch attacks."

"We need to understand a bit more about certifications and knowledge for understanding capabilities. The solution should make that more clear to its users."
"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."
"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."
