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.Incentivized
MikroTik is suited for large companies that require advanced distributions in terms of contracted bandwidth, and in the same way, allows a single device to specify filtering and firewall rules without acquiring an additional device. There is a range for small companies which is more economical and less robust, but in case it's not necessary, such a strict control over the data consumption of the company is not a feasible solution.Incentivized
Makes them easy to manage within one spotAllows for advanced network configurationHas plenty of power for all our PoE devicesIncentivized
Affordable, it has more features compared to other brand at the same price.Widely available, by today it's easy to obtained one, even online retailers sell it.Highly customizable, you may write a powerful script to enhance the function.Flexible, you can make different configuration approach based on you needs.Incentivized
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.Incentivized
Some of the wiki articles have not been updated or are not accurate enough. We spent a couple of days trying to find an example of implementing a mobile IPSec client solution. But once this has been implemented, it has been solid (always worked). A bigger community would help, and I am finding it hard to find the time to contribute to these articles.Incentivized
Almost perfect, despite some issue that need to be addressed by the manufacturer. If this issue has been addressed, a full 10 mark will be given.Incentivized
There is no SOC, NOC, where you can contact to try to resolve any difficulties. The problems that these devices have are solved largely through the community, with workaround alternatives, or if the support team responds to a request, the response times are too high for the current needs of technological communications.Incentivized
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.Incentivized
Cisco Routers are one of the best in the market, however they are also very expensive and not suitable for a small deployment or any deployment which requires just a couple of routers. MikroTik on the other hand are less expensive and provides many features that you require for a small scale deployment. they fit in with the budget and do what you need them to.Incentivized
It has made management of the network much easier and less time consumingWe are more confident that our network traffic is being securedAbility to monitor network traffic and detect potential anomaliesIncentivized
First of all it's cheaper than Cisco routers.It has more functionality than Cisco routers that cost 4 times more.It has a GUI. But it has CLI too.Incentivized
