"The most valuable features are the roaming profile, the mesh, and the performance."
"Fortinet FortiWLM is good for tracking assets, monitoring, and overall management."
"I found that It's really good when comparing it to any other product or it is much better in terms of features that the customer requires."
"This is the only product on the market currently that supports as many access points for wifi users."
"The most valuable features are central management and the many other features available."
"The most valuable features of this solution are its speed, reliability, and integration with the firewall."
"At the moment, particularly with the COVID-19 situation, the most valuable feature is probably the IPsec VPN, which is easy to implement with Fortinet."
"Although there are a few steps, the initial setup is pretty straightforward."
"The triangulation feature can be used to determine where a person is in relation to the access point."
"The cost is the most valuable aspect of this solution."
"If you compare wired versus wireless, it's convenient. You don't need to have one place for connectivity. You can move around and it's easier. Sometimes it's a hassle to work with wires, which is why wireless is so convenient."
"Has an extremely good feature set."
"In the next release, they could improve by adding a controller-less server, or architecture that is provided in other solutions, such as Aruba. This would be a great benefit for customers."
"Cost is something that could be improved, but you have to pay for what you get."
"The interface could certainly do with some improvement. We have other customers with WiFi networks, and they always use Ubiquiti. With Ubiquiti, it's a much better user interface, and it is much easier to configure."
"Documentation could be improved."
"The roaming of Fortinet FortiWLM could improve when comparing it to other solutions. We are missing some of the functionality in the controller. Additionally, they should offer more logs instead of using FortiAnalyzer because all the users will not be using the same thing."
"When using the FortiGate as the wireless controller, you cannot have automatic user registration, which is something that they should offer."
"The pricing model can be improved to encourage use by small business and individuals and the hardware could stand to be redesigned."
"Technical support is very poor. We are not satisfied with the technical support because there is not any direct person from Fortinet for any troubleshooting, which we expected."
"The inter-functionality with other vendors was a negative for us."
"The user experience should be improved. It's not user-friendly."
"There seems to be different versions of standards used in the wireless access points. In the future, it would be helpful if the solution could come up with some kind of universal standard for all devices and all access points."
