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

Personally I love Fortis for firewalls and SDWAN, Huawei for routing, switching and WLAN. Clearpas for Auth. I do not have a lot of experience in different Monitoring softwares but am quite used to solarwinds.

Anything using SNMP, SSH, and NetFlow gets me what I need. Oh, and easy packet captures.
