Extreme Networks
Aerohive was ahead of the industry when it came to Wireless network hardware and software. Initially, they were one of the first to offer a solution for a busy office environment with a complicated layout and multiple rooms, open areas, and offices that were spread out. The mesh design of the APS was also one of the first of its kind and has proven to be a great solution within our environment.

In the past Firewall and Traffic Routing tasks would have to be done on different interfaces, however, with Fortinet Secure SD-WAN all this is unified into one central console. We can get more productivity and also can optimize LAN & WAN IT Operations. We are also able to cut a lot of cost by moving from old MPLS technology to BB

As mentioned earlier, since all features are pretty much available in one console, it is very user friendly and it becomes very easy for the Admin to just drag and drop a Plugin or a Tool that is required to perform a specific task. It's one of the most well designed layout to be honest.
