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

Wait, Cisco == Meraki ;)

I work for Aruba (outing myself on my first post on Lemmy, smooth move dude) but I see Mist marketing themselves everywhere in the space, interested on people's take on them.

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.

Juniper for R/S, Palo for firewalls. At home I use pfsense and UniFi APs and in that environment they’re great.

Ha! At home I run a Ubiquiti stack with my lab hung off it (switches, ASA, FortiGate).

Arista for DC switching and Juniper for everything else.
