Do you have a preferred vendor for your network gear?

I'll go first:

  • Firewalls: Fortinet, ASA, Palo Alto
  • Route/Switch: Cisco, HPE/Aruba
  • Wireless: Aruba, Cisco, Meraki
  • Auth: NPS, ISE, ClearPass
  • Monitoring: SolarWinds, Auvik, PRTG
  • Automation: Ansible
  • SDWAN: PA Prisma SDWAN, Fortinet, Velocloud

I like MikroTik too. I kind of understand the dislike some people have for MT, but on the other hand a lot of it seems to be based on misunderstandings and outdated information.

Juniper isn't too bad either.

Not much experience with "corporate firewalls" (besides MT / Juniper SRX), but having seen Fortinet, it doesn't look too great.
