Find out in this report how the two Ethernet Switches solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."I have found the solution has great standards and compatibility across all vendors."
"Cisco Linksys is scalable. You can use it as an extender, too."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the support."
"It is a scalable solution."
"The most valuable feature is that we can configure the security to suit our needs."
"It's stable and we never have to worry about it."
"The most valuable feature is the dynamic routing."
"Administration can be done using the web-based interface."
"The most valuable feature of FortiSwitch is its user-friendly interface, which facilitates easy management and propagation of rules throughout the network."
"The tool's setup was very easy."
"It is a stable solution from the security front."
"Fortinet FortiSwitch - Secure Access has essential features for managing switches."
"The tool's VLAN feature is easy to understand. It was very good."
"The visual scope of the solution is very good. It allows me to see and download all of the network information."
"What I actually use in this deployment are Forti APs (Fortinet Access Points). So, I can see all my office infrastructure from a single console, which is handy. One FortiGate, one FortiSwitch, and five access points, everything under good control. It's really nice to see it all together like this."
"The most valuable feature is that I can completely isolate devices that are compromising the network."
"We haven't had any issues with the solution."
"I would like to see more manageability. That's primarily the reason why Linksys switches don't work in the enterprise space. They don't have the management and capabilities of other switches."
"Integration is not easy since the device component is separate."
"The problem with installation is not the installation process, but the building. Sometimes our building has a high ceiling, so installation is hard."
"This product does not generate reports, so I would like to see something with better reporting."
"Having the option for a web-based interface would be an improvement over being forced to use the CLI."
"In the next release I would really love to see a list option."
"Linksys support is subpar."
"The scalability and technical support can be improved."
"The product's pricing needs improvement for small and medium businesses."
"They could provide integration with Fortinet Authenticator."
"I give the stability a seven out of ten because we have noticed when we hook up phones the switching of ELANs et cetera doesn't work as it should."
"I would like Fortinet to make this product easier to configure."
"An area for improvement would be the segmentation and network in logic networks."
"The tool should improve its CLI."
"While Fortinet is good for school boards and mid-sized businesses, enterprise-class networks require a zero-trust solution. If you're building a zero-trust network with end-to-end security, that's where Fortinet falls behind Cisco, HPE, and Aruba."
