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
Id definitely include docker under automation. for monitoring we have started using managedEngine
ManageEngine is good. IMO, if you can do ICMP, SNMP, NetFlow, and SSH (for config mgmt), you’re good. Bonus points for API integration!
