Quick updates, easy port troubleshooting, and reliable
The zero-touch provisioning and AI have helped out our organization because customers can install APs in less time than other solutions.

A cost-effective cloud controller solution for real-time detection
Tesfa Harris
A powerful platform that provides organizations with a single console to manage
We had many blind spots at one point, so we changed the whole leverage. Under the new leverage and the FortiATs, we have our base.

  • "Licensing has become easier. There is no longer a per-AP license needed on the controller."
  • "If a customer already is a FortiGate customer, the cost to go to the FortiAP is incredibly affordable, because you already have the controller."
  • "For indoor access points, there is a one-time cost, upfront, whereas outdoor access points have an annual fee."
  • "Fortinet would do something with their pricing model to attract smaller business users and eliminate the mandatory service contracts."
  • "There is a perpetual license required for this solution and the price could be reduced."
  • "Support contracts typically cost approximately $100.00 per year."
  • "To save yourself from increased setup and maintenance costs, I highly recommend undertaking a proper site survey from the beginning."
  • "Licensing costs are reasonable. There are so many different types of licenses with Fortinet, but the licensing and the 24/7/365 support are so reasonable that I automatically include it with every transaction. I never line item it without it. There are no additional costs."
