Pros
"The app and the provisioning are the best features of the product. It was really impressive that I was able to just provision it remotely. I didn't have to be on-site with my friend, and we were just able to get everything up and operational. So, the app is great. It sends me notifications when things are down, and it tells me how everything is doing.""The initial setup is easy.""Regarding access points, the customer typically considers low-cost plans, and Ruckus Unleashed Access Points are commonly used. These access points are managed through the Microsoft console and can be accessed either with or without ports. The management is done through a controller. The main benefits customers see include cost-effectiveness, especially for those with budget constraints. Aruba, in particular, provides a good user experience. Some customers might choose Huawei, but enterprise access points are also considered. Additionally, the unified access point capabilities are valuable, allowing management from the same account. However, there is a limitation of twenty-five access points, and if a customer requires more, they need to create another site or account. If the customer exceeds twenty-five access points, they need to generate another site or virtual business to manage additional access points, as the external number is limited to twenty-five.""With a variety of switches in their setup, they find that Aruba's online monitoring tools and configuration options for applications effectively manage most of their requirements, all while keeping the process straightforward and user-friendly.""It's super user-friendly.""The initial setup is very simple.""The most valuable feature of Aruba Instant On Access Points is they are easy to manage.""The product is scalable. It has 20 users."

"With Mist, every Wednesday they roll out new features.""Overall, we've been very pleased with the performance.""The most useful feature of Juniper Wireless AP is the reporting Marvis.""The solution is very secure.""The artificial intelligence feature is very good.""The solution is pretty generic and easy to use.""It provides private network access, helping us protect our company’s devices.""The most valuable feature of the solution is Marvis, the AI-driven network management system."

Cons
"When I first deployed the solution, I couldn't use a tagged VLAN for the management. It might already have been fixed in a recent firmware upgrade.""When there are a lot of people connected, especially during video streaming demonstrations, the connection can get a bit choppy.""The limited functionality of the mobile app restricts its use primarily to small and medium-sized setups, making it less suitable for enterprise-level solutions.""If anything, its reporting could be improved.""I would like to see a feature that blocks, increases, or decreases bandwidth capacity for devices.""The solution's range could be better.""It's only suitable for smaller offices. It doesn't scale well.""The tool's pricing is not good."

"Improving third-party integration is key for Juniper Mist's next release.""Juniper Wireless Access Points (AP Series) could improve if the MIST platform had a built-in master key. This would be an advantage.""They should include SD-WAN features to it.""The pricing should be made cheaper.""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 price could be better.""Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points’ support services need improvement.""There is room for improvement in terms of support and installation."

There are no extra costs for the security feature or automatic software/firmware updates, which is really important to me."
