"The solution is very secure."
"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."
"Juniper Mist offers valuable features like comprehensive network insight, granular policy control, fast device setup, strong security, and efficient SSL traffic management."
"The artificial intelligence feature is very good."
"You can easily monitor, manage, and cover all your IT equipment."
"The most useful feature of Juniper Wireless AP is the reporting Marvis."
"The AI capabilities of Mist Wireless are superior to other OEMs."
"The simplicity is great."
"Role assignment: Each user is assigned a different role based on the radius attributes returned by ClearPass."
"It offers an easy initial setup."
"The most valuable features of Aruba Wireless are the seamless feature and the concurrent user."
"The most useful feature of this product is the configuration that allows us to have several areas covered with one unit."
"The portal has been very helpful for us."
"Installation is relatively easy."
"If we really want to know where a specific user is connected, it gives us the ability to see that and how that user is actually receiving. We can know the speed and their IP, their MAC address and, most of the time, how much bandwidth they're using per day."
"Clearpass solution from Aruba."
"The solution works well and in the short time I have used it, I've enjoyed its capabilities."
"The most valuable feature of Ubiquiti WLAN is its stability."
"The most beneficial thing about Ubiquiti is that it is simple to deploy."
"Its most valuable feature is pricing."
"Firstly, I initially purchased the device to build a VPN, and one very valuable feature for me was the ability to create a layer two VPN, which was available on the legacy ER router. It allowed me to expand a subnet to a remote site, which was essential for my setup. Additionally, I appreciated that the CLI of the router was similar to other Juniper products that I was familiar with."
"The tool's deployment is very easy. The deployment of 15 access points can take a day."
"Ubiquiti WLAN's most valuable features are that it works well in a hybrid environment and isn't heavy on resources."
"The solution is scalable."
"The product should include adaptive Wi-Fi to show a more accurate location."
"Improvement is needed in the user-friendliness of Juniper Mist, particularly in enhancing the interaction with AI features."
"There is room for improvement in terms of support and installation."
"Enrolling into the tool is a tedious process."
"The solution is expensive."
"The pricing is very high in the Indian market."
"I need a bit more time with it before criticizing the features."
"They should include SD-WAN features to it."
"We need security features to recognize the traffic source and to apply Zero Trust security."
"The solution could be more user-friendly."
"The Help option within the GUI needs to be improved."
"I would have liked to see more manufacturer driven events and outings to drive brand recognition and familiarity."
"Most of the access points don't include the chargers."
"There is a long queue whenever we reach out to support, and we have to wait for them to answer calls. Once we get in touch with them, we have to coordinate with different teams, so our engineers struggle to understand who are the correct team members. I think support is another area where Aruba needs to improve."
"We have an issue with the integration of Aruba Wireless with our LDAP servers."
"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 downside is the interface changes, where they are constantly doing firmware updates."
"It is not a stable solution."
"I have never used cloud solutions. My first approach would be something related to the cloud, and backups on the cloud, and maybe an easier way to connect to it because I have an on-premises environment."
"When I started to upgrade, the controller for Unbuntu was really struggling to start up, however, that has since been solved."
"Largely we're happy with the product, however, the firmware deployments could maybe be managed a little bit differently."
"The solution is stable but could improve."
"The solution could improve by having a cloud version. A cloud version is the easiest to configure anywhere in the world."
"Ubiquiti lacks troubleshooting tools. For example, there aren't tools that your clients can use to gather input on the AP itself. There's no visibility in the application layer or reporting. It doesn't have a lot of management features."
