Fortinet Recognized as a 2024 Gartner® Peer Insights™ Customers’ Choice for Enterprise Wired and Wireless LAN Infrastructure for 7th Consecutive Year

As the market shift to secure networking accelerates, Fortinet customers are testifying in a resoundingly positive way to our cybersecurity solutions. Hence, Fortinet is one of only three vendors to be named a 2024 Gartner Peer Insights™ Customers' Choice for Enterprise Wired and Wireless Local Area Network (LAN) Infrastructure. This is the seventh time in a row that Fortinet has been recognized by customers on Gartner Peer Insights.

4.9 Out of 5-Star Rating

Fortinet received an overall 4.9 out of 5-star customer rating based on 395 customer reviews submitted as of August 2024.

Deploying and securing wired and wireless networks has proved challenging for organizations in the past. As networks are asked to do more and attackers get more sophisticated, relying on point solutions across multiple vendors typically leaves installations vulnerable. This is why organizations and their boards of directors have elevated cybersecurity as a serious agenda item.

Fortinet addresses security issues by offering wired and wireless LAN, SD-WAN (software-defined wide area networking), 5G gateways, and network access control (NAC), which are integrated with industry-leading next-generation firewalls (NGFWs) and secure access service edge (SASE) technology. They are all integrated into one platform based on FortiOS, our common operating system.

A Platform Approach Delivers Better Outcomes

Fortinet provides a simple, intelligent, platform-based networking solution. With the power of FortiOS, our solution can address the business risks posed by poorly integrated security and network product designs without sacrificing leading-edge capabilities.

Fortinet's secure LAN architecture can scale from the thin edge to the branch office, to campus, and data center with a broad portfolio of hardware to meet the task. We eliminate security overlays by integrating enterprise networking features into our FortiGate NGFW through the FortiLink protocol. As a result, security is automatically extended to Ethernet ports and wireless LANs, including NAC functionality with role-based access and control and secure onboarding for Internet-of-Things (IoT) devices.

With the security visibility provided by FortiOS and the granular control offered by FortiLink and FortiLink NAC, devices can be virtually patched when known vulnerabilities are discovered. Virtual patching is included at no extra charge in our solution and provides IT the time to patch devices on their schedule rather than as a fire-drill exercise.

Only Fortinet converges enterprise networking and security in this way. Organizations that use Fortinet wired and wireless LAN offerings benefit from a feature-rich solution where all necessary functionality is built in without the need for additional licenses. This reduces complexity, lowers costs, and improves performance, all while reducing business risk.

Tools driven by artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) further simplify day-to-day management, which reduces the burden on network administrators so they can be proactive rather than reactive.
