"The most valuable feature is that Ruckus offers better coverage."
"The most valuable feature is the portal."
"The smart antenna is very good."
"It's reliable wireless equipment."
"The reason we picked Ruckus, in addition to our long-standing relationship with them, is pretty much that the RFS characteristics of it seem to be the best."
"We rarely had access points fail in the field. They were rock solid, durable, and had the best signal penetration from any we tested."
"I am familiar with the brand and it works well."
"Mesh networking and antenna patterns are the most valuable features of the solution."
"The solution is expensive."
"Improvement is needed in the user-friendliness of Juniper Mist, particularly in enhancing the interaction with AI features."
"The price could be better."
"They should include SD-WAN features to it."
"There is room for improvement in terms of support and installation."
"The product should include adaptive Wi-Fi to show a more accurate location."
"Juniper Wireless Access Points (AP Series) could improve if the MIST platform had a built-in master key. This would be an advantage."
"It would be helpful to have even stronger security features to help protect against interference from other nearby access points that aren't part of our network."
"The solution lacks documentation."
"The solution has various licensing policies. It will be easy to use if it is an open single license."
"The inter-functionality with other vendors was a negative for us."
"There is no local support for Mist in Brazil."

"In future releases, they need to add some router models. Because currently, it supports only SSR and WAN routers. But adding other routers would be good."
"Juniper should integrate all their dashboards instead of having separate dashboards...Since it lacks the integration of dashboards, Juniper needs to improve it."
"Mist AI and Cloud need to improve the configuration speed."
"I would like to see newer on-premises controller-type models, similar to the 3000."
"Its pricing and licensing can be improved. Its UI can also be more user-friendly. Currently, in the Unleashed mode, the information that you have about the switches that you add to the controller is quite limited. I would like more information regarding switches. In this mode, an access point acts as a controller, so you don't need a controller. It is for deployments with less than 125 access points, and you can use an access point as a controller."
"I have not got any major problem using Ruckus, but the price and technical support could be better."
"The product licensing could be improved."
"The switching could be improved. The active component requires a data center. Cisco and HPE have a complete solution for data centers. Ruckus has a core solution, but the data center aspect needs to be improved."
"The solution isn't the cheapest option. However, you are getting a quality product."
"Previously, we would need to purchase appliances every time but it caused our data centers to get filled. Ruckus now has cloud-based controllers. They resolved the issue we were having."
"The cost could be improved."
