We performed a comparison between Alcatel-Lucent OmniSwitch Ethernet Switches and Fortinet FortiSwitch - Secure Access based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Ethernet Switches solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The product is stable. It does have only one power supply. They don't have a redundant power supply."
"The solution has a very good web interface. It makes it easy to manage everything."
"We are able to customize this solution based on the customer's requirements."
"The new web graphical interface is much better than before. We now have easy access to the command lines. They're all functional."
"Enables direct access to clusters."
"The fibre ports that are 10 Gb capacity helped with the travel of a lot of regular as well as video data. Fibre can handle a lot more virtual data than copper twisted-pair, so we got a lot more data and a lot more traffic signals back through the fibre ports, faster, than with copper."
"This is a dependable switch which will help you sleep at night."
"It's easy to extend the stack, We don't use the smaller switches, but it's going well for the rest."
"Deploying the solution is a breeze, even a novice can do it."
"The most valuable feature would be network management, separating the network management component from security. It can do both but we promote it on its own. It's a good solution to do network management."

"The integration with the whole platform, so there's one dashboard for everything. It is one of the most valuable features."
"The solution is very simple, and it's very easily available."
"In future versions, I would like to see improvements in networking speed."
"The product would be better if it were completely compatible with other switching products."
"There needs to be better integration with the interface."
"The network connection should be improved."
"I could see them possibly creating a more intuitive software. It's very user-friendly, but there are some things that aren't very intuitive when programming the switches."
"technical support response time is sometimes very slow."
"I find the CLI hard to use. I wish we could do more in the GUI interface."
"OmniSwitch Ethernet Switches would be improved if cloud-based technology was provided in the Gulf region."
"I don't like the way it's managed."
"Technical support needs to take a different approach and pricing should appear more competitive."
"The product's end-user protection feature needs improvement."
"I give the stability a seven out of ten because we have noticed when we hook up phones the switching of ELANs et cetera doesn't work as it should."
"The pricing could be improved, and it could be easier to configure."
"The range of products could improve from Fortinet FortiSwitch - Secure Access."
"The initial setup is pretty easy; we have built a knowledge base. But there's a learning curve for beginners."
"More integration would be helpful, especially since we sometimes have devices from other companies. Improved interoperability would be very beneficial."
