I know this is fairly generic, sorry, but I'm in a bit of a time pinch to come up with recommendations to management (not of my own doing).
We are currently using Fortinet fortiap 221e units, reliability has been fine, but they are showing their age and we have capacity issues. There is one other issue that I am being really pushed on, that although reliable, the fortiap stack has pretty poor logging of RF history, and although not a day to day issue I do sometimes get the request "did we have performance issues last Tuesday" etc.
The cheap and simple option would be a like for like swap to fortiap 231k, more radios, newer tech, cheap, little risk.
Management above me are sold on going to Meraki, we have had quotes and the cost is 3x that of the fortiap, to people who have the Meraki stack, is it all that good and eliminated all wifi performance issues, can you really look back a few weeks / months to see what happened to every clients rf and usage history to easily fix faults? Is it worth 3x the cost?
Are Meraki unique in the ability to resolve performance issues in the WiFi that make them so desirable?
