We performed a comparison between Alcatel-Lucent OmniAccess Stellar and Cisco Meraki Wireless LAN based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Wireless LAN solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The artificial intelligence feature is very good."
"The most valuable feature of Juniper Wireless Access Points (AP Series) is the ability to troubleshoot ports on the network. Additionally, when there is an update on the APs they are able to reboot quickly reducing downtime. Other solutions have a longer downtime when updates are done."
"You can easily monitor, manage, and cover all your IT equipment."
"The most valuable feature of Juniper Mist is the Virtual Network Assistant, powered by artificial intelligence."
"Overall, we've been very pleased with the performance."
"The solution is stable."
"The AI capabilities of Mist Wireless are superior to other OEMs."
"The most useful feature of Juniper Wireless AP is the reporting Marvis."
"One feature that differentiates Alcatel-Lucent OmniAccess Stellar from some other vendors is the fact that on-premise OmniVista licenses are perpetual."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward."
"Express in default configuration mode with first turn-on is easy to set up and deploy from a medium installation standpoint."
"I have worked with different solutions in the past and switched to Alcatel-Lucent OmniAccess Stellar because of its quick installation time. It requires no additional preparation. The product is highly stable. I rate it a nine out of ten. The support of this solution is great. The timeliness of their responses is crucial for me. When I raise an issue, I can count on receiving a prompt reply, eliminating the need for extensive online searches or phone calls."
"We are very satisfied with the performance."
"The features aren't much different than those in Aruba, but deployment is easier to configure and the pricing is better."
"The solution allows you to see the SNMP packets, the DPI packets, and the SNMP server."
"There is a definite ROI with this product. This product creates a baseline of technology that will be a means to grow from five to ten years from now. By using this solution, it is an investment on the installation of that baseline."
"The most valuable feature is cloud management."
"The solution ensures seamless connectivity as users move within the office. Six installed Meraki APs provide excellent coverage for around three hundred users, offering reliable speeds. Additionally, the system allows guests and users with priority devices to connect using their SAP ID. The traffic is managed through D and G controllers to meet the specified requirements for continuous connection and speed."
"The emailing of statuses is the most valuable feature."
"The interface is excellent. We've been really happy with it."
"The single dashboard of Cisco Meraki Wireless LAN is the most valuable feature for me."
"I think the IoT integration is the most valuable. I started applying IoT solutions 12 years ago on location-based services. Aruba had implemented this at the time. So I think the integration, particularly into the applications and stuff, is pretty interesting in Meraki."
"The tool's most valuable feature is report generation. Its dashboard helps me a lot with user analytics."
"There are many valuable features of Cisco Meraki, including the switches, stacking, and layer 3 routing."
"Improving third-party integration is key for Juniper Mist's next release."
"Improvement is needed in the user-friendliness of Juniper Mist, particularly in enhancing the interaction with AI features."
"Juniper Wireless AP can improve by continually improving its reporting and integration with other systems."
"They should include SD-WAN features to it."
"Juniper Wireless Access Points (AP Series) could improve if the MIST platform had a built-in master key. This would be an advantage."
"Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points’ support services need improvement."
"Enrolling into the tool is a tedious process."
"The pricing is very high in the Indian market."
"Better integration with third-party systems is what our customers are expecting in the future."
"There are occasional OS bugs."
"The current implementation of our Guest Access network in isolation for Express mode is very complicated in comparison with leading market solutions."
"It needs to be faster in order to process and transmit bigger packets."
"Alcatel-Lucent OmniAccess Stellar's radio management side could be improved."
"It is not possible to integrate Alcatel-Lucent OmniAccess Stellar with third-party software like Opera, a property management system (PMS)."
"If the customers plan to go on the cloud side, they need encryption and daily communications from a security perspective."
"I would prefer to have the integrated heat map feature provided by the basic controller in the Solution instead of purchasing an external one. Accessing this capability directly within the controller's access point would be convenient."
"In the next release, I would like to see the central control plane have the flexibility to control and distribute policies to all LAN networks, balance the traffic, and the performance based on application monitoring."
"It is not a very stable solution."
"Cisco offers pretty expensive devices."
"It would be useful to have a service management platform integrated within this solution where we can measure the customer experience."
"The cost of the devices and the solution itself could be more competitive."
"Its price should be reduced."
"In the future, I would like to see IP telephony in Saudi Arabia."
"Its price could be improved."
