Find out what your peers are saying about HPE Aruba Networking, Cisco, Ruckus and others in Wireless LAN."In terms of reporting, in terms of all the user reports, it's very rich."
"Overall, we've been very pleased with the performance."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is Marvis, the AI-driven network management system."
"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."
"The solution is pretty generic and easy to use."
"The solution is very secure."
"The simplicity is great."
"The solution is stable."
"The automatic VMware update is very useful because you don't have to worry about outages and planning for VMware updates. It is very advantageous from a management point of view. The ability to restrict and review the clients connected to each of our segments. Additionally, the solution is easy to use."
"The initial setup of Cisco Meraki Wireless LAN was very easy."
"Its ease of use and flexibility are most valuable. It is cloud-based software."
"I really love their cloud-based dashboard which allows me to see all my locations from one location."
"The stability of the Cisco Meraki Wireless LAN is very good."
"It is very stable, very resilient, and very robust."
"Provided reliability and a good price."
"The solution is very easy to use."
"The most valuable feature of Ekahau Site Survey is the predictive survey."
"Ekahau Site Survey is scalable."
"The troubleshooting tools are the most valuable feature of the solution."
"The ability to perform dual-band spectrum analysis while conducting the standard WiFi site survey is a tremendous time saver."
"Ekahau Site Survey is an easy and accurate solution."
"I have found the most valuable feature is the RF interference and integration capabilities."
"I don't handle the software that much. I'll do some of the testing with our CTO. It is primarily him and I. He has commented before that he likes the fact that with two licenses, we can set it up so that when we're on a large facility, he can see where I am and I can see where he is. That's for sure is very handy in large venues."
"There are some survey tools that are a little easier to use, but the benefit of using the Ekahau is that it is very configurable. If you go into a building that has solid cement walls, instead of traditional walls, you can configure it for that. It is much more configurable than the other ones."
"Juniper Wireless Access Points (AP Series) could improve if the MIST platform had a built-in master key. This would be an advantage."
"If you want to do more specific stuff, it's a bit limited."
"They should include SD-WAN features to it."
"The product should include adaptive Wi-Fi to show a more accurate location."
"The pricing should be made cheaper."
"Improvement is needed in the user-friendliness of Juniper Mist, particularly in enhancing the interaction with AI features."
"The solution is expensive."
"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's pricing could be improved."
"if there is a better feature, they write it as beta so you have to be careful."
"We'd like to have better mapping to showcase low-coverage areas."
"Its licensing can be better."
"It would be nice to have licensing that stays in place while the system is being renovated or changed."
"The throughput of the switches for wireless could be improved."
"We have used technical support for some issues but not many times."
"In the next release, I would like to see a third-party high tech center to connect multiple users to a particular network."
"The report generation has room for improvement and is missing small details."
"Ekahau would benefit by making improvements to lag time."
"We were actually able to recover some access points in some areas that were over saturated. So I I can leave at least two areas where we probably had twice as many access points as we needed to. So we actually redesigned it and pulled some of those access points where I don't know that there was any proper planning done when they were initially deployed. It was before my time, but it just seemed way over saturated, and they were all beaten on each other. So Site wasn't helping. It was probably hurting, and we saved equipment that we could then deploy somewhere else. This can be improved."
"Sometimes there is a cancellation between two signals that the solution is not able to monitor correctly, this could improve in the future."
"Most features are there, but the network adapter support should be better. Ekahau should support all laptops and versions. There's an issue with the driver too."
"The GPS feature could be improved."
"The information regarding the clients and signal strengths is missing in the Ekahau console."
"Its migration and visualization features need improvement."
