Overall Satisfaction with Fortinet FortiExtender
Great devices from Fortinet if you need to have mobile 4G coverage in those remote branches, even for the main connectivity or for the backup connectivity as in our case. We do believe these devices provide really good service, as signal strength even in a remote location gets enough bandwidth for daily operations of the whole branch. Also Fortinet FortiExtenders are well integrated into the Fortinet security fabric, which provides that extra layer of security.
Pros
- Good coverage
- Simply integrates with other Forti devices
- High security standards
- Top-level stability
Cons
- Doesn't work too well with PoE; always use power supply
- Not too expensive to implement
- Has saved us many times when primary network failed
- Provides extra bandwidth to remote locations
By looking at the market of similar devices, we quickly recognized that Fortinet FortiExtenders are very reasonably priced; however, they provide top-level functionality that even some of the competitors don't have.
