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

I got a lot of exposure to MikroTik's route/switch devices when I worked at a WISP and really came to love them.

Wireless: Aruba, Cisco, Meraki

I know what you meant when you said "Wireless", but I'm going to go with Siklu for their Kilo EtherHaul 70/80GHz radios that can no shit do 10Gbps links up to like 10 miles in ideal conditions.

Ooooh, I gotta look this up. Love PtP links.

Yeah we use a fair bit of Mikrotik as well. They're great for the price, and work well as long as you stick to what they're good at.
