"Technical support is very poor. We are not satisfied with the technical support because there is not any direct person from Fortinet for any troubleshooting, which we expected."
"The platform's pricing needs improvement."
"There is very little publicly available information about Virtual Cell and Single Channel Architecture. Promotion of the overall technology is limited as well.

"The range needs some improvement and also the stability."
"Areas for improvement would be the compatibility with Apple products and cross-platform integration."
"In the next release, they could improve by adding a controller-less server, or architecture that is provided in other solutions, such as Aruba. This would be a great benefit for customers."
"Licensing is the only area that I think they are below average. They need enterprise licensing, an all-encompassing license to cover all products for a company."
"When using the FortiGate as the wireless controller, you cannot have automatic user registration, which is something that they should offer."
