ExtremeCloud SD-WAN vs. Fortinet Secure SD-WAN

I can say that as an infrastructure analyst I can have absolute control over the wireless network with the Aerohive Wireless WLAN architecture. We manage the network via the Web from anywhere and we have, from a graphical interface, a view and status of all installed access points. We receive notifications when an issue arises and we've already been able to resolve the case. The prices are very good and it has a very modern and compact appearance and design. We recommend technical support also to avoid future hardware issues.

In the past Firewall and Traffic Routing tasks would have to be done on different interfaces, however, with Fortinet Secure SD-WAN all this is unified into one central console. We can get more productivity and also can optimize LAN & WAN IT Operations. We are also able to cut a lot of cost by moving from old MPLS technology to BB

As mentioned earlier, since all features are pretty much available in one console, it is very user friendly and it becomes very easy for the Admin to just drag and drop a Plugin or a Tool that is required to perform a specific task. It's one of the most well designed layout to be honest.

Since 2003/04, I've evaluated, used, configured, and set up dozens of Wifi networks and none has had the capabilities and complex abilities that Aerohive offers as a solution. During the evaluation period, it was a clear standout from an office and business environment due to the advanced configuration options and security settings that were required.
