Integration improves with the latest versions offering seamless connectivity and effective failover protection

Pros

"The integration is easy and it works as a normal internet connection."

Seamless with excellent integration capabilities and flexibility

Pros

"You don't need to have two different vendors to interoperate and get into comparability issues or inter-operability issues."

Cons

"What most of my clients are telling me is the price is a problem. "

A scalable, stable solution with a central point management

Pros

"Management can be carried out from a central point."

Cons

"There is a huge downside because we need to remove and insert the SIM to get it working."

Integrates with external solutions, and unifies devices for centralized device management and control

Pros

"For me, the best feature of Fortinet FortiExtender is its integration with an external solution such as a 5G LTE broadband modem, wired modem, and cellular network. I also like that the product can be integrated into one device or a unified device, and that is one of its best features because it allows you to manage and centralize the control of every device."

Cons

"Though Fortinet FortiExtender has some security features, the product could still be improved by adding features similar to those in FortiGuard, such as antivirus, intrusion, prevention, and detection, as well as web filtering features. The product is also not as user-friendly, so that's another area for improvement. In the FortiGate UTM solution of Fortinet, there's software-defined or SD-WAN, and in the next release of Fortinet FortiExtender, I'd like to see SD-WAN embedded in the product. Most of the communication in Fortinet FortiExtender is related to WAN and Edge, so having an SD-WAN function in the product would be useful for integrating and controlling WAN communication."

A good WAN connectivity solution that allows access via a mobile connection, but carries a high price point

Pros

"We appreciate that this solution can be used as an active secondary link as well as a backup."

Cons

"We would like to see some improvement in the price for 5G models, as they are currently very expensive."

Limitless scalability, reliable, reasonably priced, and the support is good
