"The solution is stable."
"The simplicity is great."
"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."

"It provides private network access, helping us protect our company’s devices."
"The most useful feature of Juniper Wireless AP is the reporting Marvis."
"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."
"The list of options you have is great: throttling guest networks, the controller dashboards for administration, on-the-fly configuring, settings, hours of use."
"The solution is very user friendly."
"I really like Ruckus Unleashed, which is the feature that provides a quick solution for me to control the APs."
"The most valuable feature of Ruckus Wireless is the Beamforming feature."
"Our IT staff can quickly issue guest passes for vendors and the instructions are very straightforward, requiring very little effort to get connected."

"Improving third-party integration is key for Juniper Mist's next release."
"The solution's pricing could be cheaper."
"The cloud controller needs work. My big issue is that all APs can't set static IPs. Also, adding customers to your dashboard is not that easy at all. I wish I could pop out some reporting from the dashboards as well."
"Could be more user friendly."
"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."
"It would be helpful to have a wizard when you are setting up a new access point or a wireless guest network."
"APs should be more adaptable to denser client regions and, most important, the logs on the ZoneDirector should be classified into groups, such as type of logs and alerts."
"The Ruckus platform in general could be improved — it could be more user-friendly."
"The price is an area that requires improvement. The pricing could be better."
