Overall Satisfaction with Fortinet FortiExtender
With new technology improvements, we had to move with 3G , 4G connectivity requirements and new 5G changes to improve WAN connections with SD-WAN feature set. Fortinet FortiExtender gave us quick adaption with new technologies without big infrastructure changes and with lower TCO. This gives high flexibility to provide main or backup WAN connections to company with stable internet connectivity.
- WAN extending
- 5G innovation
- Easy configurations
- some less footprint devices than currently available
- SD-WAN integration more granularly
- High gain antennas for low signal areas
- 4G connectivity
- Easy device placement to the places with high coverage
- backup WAN links
- 5G capability gives future proof adaption
- No need to change complete network architecture to improve with new technologies
- Save TCO with adding only small piece of HW to network
In client network we had fortigate firewall already which gives defacto selection for forti extender. meraki needs meraki firewall to implement MG device which increased the cost of project and complexity of implementation and project duration. also clients needs special training for meraki infrastructure if that selected to move forward with WAN link backup.
