"ExtremeCloud IQ is integrated with the Ekahau tool so that you can log in to the ExtremeCloud IQ portal, upload the cloud plans, draw all the interiors, and plan the APs with the real-time AP position."
"Integrated Firewall in every AP (with DPI inspection) is a killer feature and it is included already in the price of licence (with others, this feature is an add-on licence)."
"ExtremeCloud offers features that not a lot of other vendors do like their data storage and the ability to swap licenses."
"The tech who handles Extreme IQ tells me it's easy to use and learn. He felt like it was pretty intuitive. It comes with solid training materials. He also has talked about the security features that give you as much or as little control as you want."
"The few times we have needed help, Aerohive has been there for us and I am confident that If I need them they will be there again."
"a true controller-less approach, where each Access Point is 100% independent from the management system."
"Its configuration and deployment are the most valuable."
"FortiGate Cloud's most valuable feature is that it's 100% managed."
"The most valuable feature is the inspection. It inspects before we have any traffic stops intrusion."
"FortiGate Cloud has many features that we like. For example, we're using it for security incident management, threat intelligence, and vulnerabilities check. It's integrated with several Fortinet tools like FortiAnalyzer and FortiSandbox controlled through FortiManager."
"It's user-friendly."
"The solution offers good network performance and efficiency."
"Fortinet FortiGate Cloud is easy to use."
"The tool's GUI is user-friendly."
"The sandboxing feature is very important."
"ExtremeCloud should invest in an SD-WAN solution or integration with SD-WAN."
"From our perspective, we would love to see Aerohive provide faster feature enhancement in their Virtual Appliance to match the features with the cloud solution more quickly."
"Certain features only exist or work in certain versions."
"They can improve just the onboarding process. More user information about the introduction to the product would be helpful. It would be good if they have a better user introduction to the new product because it is different than the prior version."
"We have had some mediocre to poor experiences with tech support: Conflicting information, condescending attitudes, and reluctance to work to resolve an issue."
"There can be an improvement by incorporating two-factor authentication or multi-factor authentication for security. Advanced network access control features and application control features should be added to manage applications. Many customers are interested in managing data, such as setting data quotas for individual users."
"Browser load time for the cloud is long and needs improvement."
"The managing of switches within this solution could be improved."
"The solution’s pricing and stability could be improved."
"Its price should be better."
"Fortinet could improve FortiGate Cloud by providing better integration with third-party applications and features."
"We are seeking a solution that can monitor our network traffic running through 17 firewalls in Malaysia and Indonesia. We want a solution that can record and monitor all the logs from all the firewalls. We want to consolidate all our firewalls into one portal so we can monitor all the activities from all the firewalls."
"Everything related to the graphical user interface should be improved."
"Things are moving increasingly towards hardware agnostic appliances, an area in which I would like Fortinet to be more focused and fast moving with that product line."
"I would like to see Wi-Fi management inside the firewall."
"There are European and US clouds and sometimes we mix them up. The solution should make determining the clouds more clear, or make one cloud instead of having separate ones."
