Integrates well with Fortinet products, but there are signal issues in the outdoor environment

Pros

"If we have FortiClient installed on multiple devices, it is seamless to connect with FortiAP. It supports passwordless authentication as well. That is a great thing about it."

Cons

"FortiAP is very good in an indoor environment, but we are struggling with the outdoor environment. "

Supports encryption or hashing algorithms and control the APs

Pros

"The solution supports recent security components like encryption or hashing algorithms. We can control the APs from FortiGate Firewalls and integrate those APs into FortiGate. You don't have to purchase a separate controller for it."

Cons

"The improvement factor could be in APs. Also, it could have a control, like MAC address."
