    If you've got a large network and are already using FortiGate firewalls or FortiAP access points, integrating FortiSwitch Secure Access Switches makes for one integrated solution. Previously we had Cisco switches that had to be configured and managed separately, which was always prone to error. Now that we have our entire network backbone on FortiNet devices, managing and configuring them is smoother. We are now able to see much clearer if there are any configuration issues between networking devices.

    Liebert is the current best when it comes to the cost to service graphs. The data centers in India have them as their first choice for Air cooling for the racks. My experience has always been positive from Vertiv. One place they can improve is on servicing and maintenance of old appliances and machines. sometimes it takes a bit too long to find part replacements.

    Cons
    Fortinet
    • Would be nice to have a bit different layout on the configuration page. Sometimes can be hard to find what you're looking for.
    • When disabling ports, it would be nice to have batch setting features rather than having to make changes individually.

    • The cost of managing these from AMC is a bit too high.
    • Support and service personnel sometimes need some things from the site that they should be carrying in the first place.

    We have previously used both Cisco 220 Series and Dell PowerConnect 8000 Series switches that were managed separately from our firewalls and access points. The Cisco and Dell switch worked fine and we never had a problem with them, but it was always a hassle to have to make configuration changes since that would have to be done via separate GUIs. Having the ability to configure and manage firewalls, switches, and wireless access points all within one central GUI saves time and headache.
