Any rollout is well suited for a FortiAP - from small office networks, to large warehouse deployments. Adding additional APs to your network is simple and easy. Monitoring is simple with Forticloud monitoring. Configuring the devices can be as complex or as simple as you need. Adding additional Fortinet devices (I have switches and firewalls) makes the network even more secure and easy to manage - all devices working in tandem make monitoring much easier

Purple Wifi is well suited for an organization with an open to public head office. The number of visitors will increase your guest data collection and thus helps with targeted marketing within compliance. Purple Wifi is also useful for network analysis and tweaking to increase overall efficiency. Purple Wifi has limited uses for organizations with no public visits.

Fortinet offers excellent support. They will work with you until the solution is doing what it is designed to do, within its capabilities. They also do an excellent to follow-up with the end-user prior to closing the ticket.

as a stand-alone product, the Fortinet wireless LAN solution isn't the most powerful, nor compelling out there. Others, like Cisco Meraki, offer great products, with added wifi features at a similar price point, but where Forti shines, is when integrated into a network with firewall enablement such as FortiGate. Overall, it stacks up well with others and is a solution that needs to be evaluated in a purchasing project.

In terms of features and productivity, Purple WiFi is a more complete software experience. More variety of features, more technical for those who know how to get their way around the clunky UI and better user management. Baidu WiFi Hotspot can offer some user control, but it can pale in comparison to Purple WiFi's offering.
