For me, the ease of setup and the rugged nature in harsh environments are most valuable. So, durability and ease of use have been its best features.

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.

The Fortinet FortiWLM system can be controlled through the cloud controller, which is convenient when the solution is not installed in our environment, as it allows us to manage the entire WiFi or access points and provides more adaptability.

Fortinet FortiWLM Cons

Zachary Wheeler - PeerSpot reviewer
President / CEO at Secure Solutions Center LLC
They need to do more with their marketing. That's what's wrong with them. Nobody knows they do all this other stuff. I love the product. For an enterprise-level system, you never have to explain why you're recommending Fortinet, whereas you might have to do that if you want to use the Ubiquiti Professional or the new Netgear line, but you don't have to explain Fortinet. It has been remarkable to work with.

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.

When using the FortiGate as the wireless controller, you cannot have automatic user registration, which is something that they should offer.

I have used Cisco previously and I don't see any specific differences from Fortinet FortiWLM or other vendors.

Cost is something that could be improved, but you have to pay for what you get.

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.

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.
