Anyone familiar with both?
Looking for comments and recommendation based on experience. We're finalizing a merger and some acquisitions, and my background is more Cisco. I am asked to recommend which brand to use for device replacement and future expansion. We plan on needing about 1000 managed switches and routers in the next 5 years. The above brands are the 2 brands we have the most deployed, pretty much equally. So they asked me to recommend 1.
We don't need anything special. We have VLANs, tagging, ACLs, some PoE, AP management is a plus. My requirements really are to create complexe and precise ACLs, and having a good access to a TAM or engineer at the vendor who can help us design solutions and fix issues.
I will also need a new router at home, my PIX and Catalyst are dying, and where I'm moving, I can get 2Gbps on a GPON. I can find in either brand a router at a reasonable price that will allow me to do PPPoE authentication and a SFP+ port. Using the same brand at home will help kickstart my knowledge for work and maybe create a branch office for WFH.
EdgeRouter or Fortigate with what I said above?
