"The most valuable features are the roaming profile, the mesh, and the performance."
"Security is the feature we like most from Fortinet. In general, their security architecture is really great, because it involves everything: firewalls, wireless LANs, the user. Everything is really secure."
"This is the only product on the market currently that supports as many access points for wifi users."
"If you do have a FortiGate Firewall somewhere in the network, you can connect the wireless controller to that... You get 100 percent visibility from a single point... You can see everything that's connected to the FortiGate, whether it's a switch or a wireless AP or a wireless controller or any other Fortinet product."
"Although there are a few steps, the initial setup is pretty straightforward."
"There weren't any scalability issues, the product did what it had to do."

"The pricing model can be improved to encourage use by small business and individuals and the hardware could stand to be redesigned."
"This solution should be easier to set up in a production environment."
"The initial setup is complex and has room for improvement."
