In private complex building where no other wireless network are present or interferencing. In this case is it easy to define policy and to monitor environment. In consumer home or flat office is it hard to have high security on wireless access due the massive presence of adiacent wireless network. It's very easy to create access block on other network.

The support team is great! I have never had an issue getting the support I needed. They make it a point to stick with the issue until it's resolved to the customer's satisfaction. They do not make you feel like you need to hurry up and close the ticket. They make sure the solution is working as designed.

as a stand-alone product, the Fortinet wireless LAN solution isn't the most powerful, nor compelling out there. Others, like Cisco Meraki, offer great products, with added wifi features at a similar price point, but where Forti shines, is when integrated into a network with firewall enablement such as FortiGate. Overall, it stacks up well with others and is a solution that needs to be evaluated in a purchasing project.

WatchGuard Secure versus the Mojo Networks is the same being that they both use the same platform. Versus the Fortinet solution- it has a stronger security suite, but as far as functionality, they are about equal. Versus the Meraki solution- it has a stronger security suite, and costs less, but about the same when it comes to cloud-based management.
