"The AI capabilities of Mist Wireless are superior to other OEMs."
"The simplicity is great."
"The most valuable feature of Juniper Mist is the Virtual Network Assistant, powered by artificial intelligence."
"You can easily monitor, manage, and cover all your IT equipment."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is Marvis, the AI-driven network management system."
"The solution is stable."
"It is easy to install and deploy."
"The performance and the application monitor. You can select the applications you want to use and block on your network"
"It has helped in making deployments easier."
"The solution is well designed so you can easily integrate it in an infrastructure network."
"Aruba Wireless does not have too many distinguishing feature sets. However, tunneling is more flexible in this solution than other solutions, such as Ruckus."
"The most valuable features are the Instant On capabilities, including the controller."
"We appreciate the integration options that are available."
"What I like most about Aruba Wireless is its stability, functionality, and performance."
"This solution is impeccable."
"In terms of performance, Juniper switches have a more user-friendly interface and more features than Cisco products."
"Junos OS is extremely flexible and easy to pick up."
"Juniper Ethernet Switches' best features are the high packer sorting and throughput, good uplink port capacity, and virtual setup."
"It is easy to configure, and there are three routing switches."
"The Juniper Ethernet switch feature I find the most valuable is reliability."
"Juniper Ethernet Switches' most valuable feature is the Juniper-Mist cloud, which facilitates management of the switches and access points."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the Junos operating system."
"Improving third-party integration is key for Juniper Mist's next release."
"The solution is expensive."
"Juniper Wireless Access Points (AP Series) could improve if the MIST platform had a built-in master key. This would be an advantage."
"The product should include adaptive Wi-Fi to show a more accurate location."
"The price could be better."
"Improvement is needed in the user-friendliness of Juniper Mist, particularly in enhancing the interaction with AI features."
"The pricing should be made cheaper."
"There is room for improvement in terms of support and installation."
"An area for improvement in Aruba Wireless is creating a DMZ. Without Aruba ClearPass, you need to allow guess access directly via the internet, which means you need to implement the security in between, so this is what I'd like Aruba to improve in the product."
"Aruba Wireless has room to improve the connection from one AP to another."
"We're using the Aruba Sensor, but sometimes the sensor isn't talking to AirWave or the AP. If something happens, we need to receive an email directly from the sensor, but the controller doesn't know. If there's something like the high channel utilization from the sensor we send to the controller, the controller can change the channel because they're all in the same environment."
"Because it's cloud-based, it takes time for the floor maps and the heat map to load."
"They need to increase the number of routers on the controller."
"Currently, the stability of the code is the basic underlying problem for us. They had an 8.6 release that came out two weeks ago, but we had to migrate twice because the code wasn't stable. We can't get things to work the same way. Version 8 was a big change for them. They made a change so that it is forced to be a managed hierarchical system. It means that you make changes at the top, and it pushes them downstream. There are a lot of problems with the 8.6 version code. I ran into four bugs in one week and was informed that we should just move onto the next one because all of those fixes have taken place. The feedback loop for fixes is not always really relayed back to you. I don't have a lot of strong things to say about version 8.6. When we had version 6, the controller was pretty much rock solid. We had no problems. We made a heavy investment to migrate a lot of stuff to take advantage of things like WPA3, Wi-Fi 6, and all that kind of stuff, and we haven't been able to turn those features on because we are not confident that they are going to work just yet. So, right now, we're still very much stumbling through the version 8.6 code and just trying to make sure that it is safe before we turn on some of those features. In terms of the marketplace, they are one of the top three leaders. In some respects, one of the things that they focus on is wireless. Therefore, there are some things that should be beyond reproach, as far as I'm concerned. In terms of the stability of the code, there are always going to be bugs, but the core stability of the code needs to be there. When it is not stable, that's a real problem for me because you lose a lot of confidence in the products."
"One area for improvement in Aruba Wireless is its dashboard or interface because in some cases, it's not as easy to use as it should be, but overall, it's okay. Pricing for the product is also on the higher side. Another area for improvement in Aruba Wireless is technical support because it's hard to reach when issues arise and the speed of answer could be faster. Other areas for improvement in the product include integration and configuration."
"The bad things about the product are the price, the information about the product, and the time it takes to deliver the product."
"In an upcoming release, Juniper Ethernet Switches could improve by having more microservices."
"Jupiter Switches' configuration is a little difficult to understand."
"They could provide better security tools."
"Juniper Ethernet Switches would be improved by upgrading the uplink port in EX2300 categories service from 10G to 25G."
"The price could be a bit lower."
"They should integrate VPN functionality with the solution."
"Juniper should improve the support services provided to users, as it is one of its areas with certain shortcomings."
"It would be nice to have a more available list of modules that you can get for this solution."
