"This solution is impeccable."
"The solution is easy to use and has good integration."
"The solution has a high level of network functionality."
"The most valuable feature is that Juniper is multiple kernels, so there's isolation, which means you won't get a process that runs away, creating problems across the whole platform."
"The solution is stable and scalable."
"I like the simplicity of it."
"There is no end to the ability to scale Juniper."
"The solution is certainly scalable."
"I have found the solution has great standards and compatibility across all vendors."
"Cisco Linksys Ethernet Switches are pretty good overall."
"The installation is easy."
"It is a stable and good product."
"Overall, they have a good quality product."
"The installation is straightforward. We did not face any problems."
"It's scalable. It is cloud-based controlled. We don't need to buy a dedicated controller. It allows me to control all of my access points everywhere in all my companies."
"The installation process is straightforward."
"It works really well, I think the equipment is solid, and the help is great."
"It is very user-friendly. There is no need to use command lines to configure it or to do anything in it. You hardly use command lines, which makes it different from Cisco. In Cisco, the CLI is your best friend. Fortinet has the lowest TCO, so you can use its integrated components without having to buy additional licenses. They provide centralized management without needing to buy or acquire additional licenses. You have an integral or complete vision through a single pane of glass, and you can see everything from one single console without having to buy additional licenses, which is a plus. It works the same way when you add wireless. You can see everything from FortiGate. It has a security processor, which is another plus. It does not have a standard desktop processor. It has a multi-threat security processor, and it is built by Fortinet. So, all the components that you include in a Fortinet solution are proprietary and work in an integral way. It has one single solution, whereas other brands, such as Palo Alto and Check Point, have been acquiring certain solutions, and they're not fully integrated. With Fortinet, everything is integrated. If you start building on Fortinet, everything that you expand to the local LAN or WAN is integrated. You don't have to pay for professional services and other things to do that. Their technical information is also very good. Most of their information is based on how-to, and it can be found online, which is something my clients like."
"The most valuable feature would be network management, separating the network management component from security. It can do both but we promote it on its own. It's a good solution to do network management."
"The technical support has been very good."
"Fortinet FortiSwitch - Secure Access has good scalability."
"Integration is good, as well as price and technical support."
"This device is easy to use."
"Stability and scalability for this product are very good. Setup is easy and deployment can be completed within minutes. The technical support for Fortinet FortiSwitch - Secure Access is good."
"The Virtual Chassis Fabric is kind of complicated to troubleshoot sometimes. On the MPLS side, they're good — they're fine for the pseudo-wires and stuff—but they need more work on the LAN. It is difficult to troubleshoot their LAN technologies like Virtual Chassis."
"The management tools are limited in their abilities, and suffer from upgrade problems."
"I have found the scalability could be improved in the version I was using."
"The updates are constantly breaking."
"The interface could be better. It needs improvement."
"The management platforms for the network need improvement."
"Some areas of technical support could be better."
"The difficulty of the installation of Juniper Ethernet Switches depends on the environment it is being implemented in. It is fairly straightforward in terms of being able to source the technical information as we need it. However, this process could improve."
"Integration with other networks is possible, but you have to configure it."
"We are expecting one software that can run across all of Cisco hardware, software, and Cisco Switch router, similar to what Juniper has."
"The price of the solution should be lower and it should have better security and scalability."
"This product does not generate reports, so I would like to see something with better reporting."
"It's no longer stable, the Wi-Fi on this device is no longer stable."
"Linksys support is subpar."
"Cisco Linksys could be more secure. It could also add a controller to control all the devices, like the access points and so on."
"Technical documents and other configuration-related information should be more freely available online."
"The range of products could improve from Fortinet FortiSwitch - Secure Access."
"It would be easier if Fortinet FortiSwitch - Secure Access could be managed via cloud, and this is something that could be improved in this product. Bandwidth display could also be better."
"The central management needs improvement. The initial setup could be easier."
"It could be simpler but compared to the competition, it's not so bad."
"An area for improvement would be the segmentation and network in logic networks."
"It would also help if they lowered the cost of their service."
"When we started using the solution, it was quite complex but then it became easier to use. It takes a while to get used to the interface."
"In Fortinet, the packet reconstruction in the SD-WAN solution needs a little bit of improvement. When it comes to the Secure Access to the switches or the mix of Fortinet solution, the very small ones do not have the capability to use fiber cables. So, the small FortiGates have to work with the copper cables and cannot use fiber cables. Even though they have the capacity and throughput on all technical connectors, they don't have the interfaces, which is one of the good things with Cisco. They just add models to it. You buy the independent models, and you add them."
