"I have worked with different solutions in the past and switched to Alcatel-Lucent OmniAccess Stellar because of its quick installation time. It requires no additional preparation. The product is highly stable. I rate it a nine out of ten. The support of this solution is great. The timeliness of their responses is crucial for me. When I raise an issue, I can count on receiving a prompt reply, eliminating the need for extensive online searches or phone calls.""The features aren't much different than those in Aruba, but deployment is easier to configure and the pricing is better.""There is a definite ROI with this product. This product creates a baseline of technology that will be a means to grow from five to ten years from now. By using this solution, it is an investment on the installation of that baseline.""The initial setup is pretty straightforward.""Express in default configuration mode with first turn-on is easy to set up and deploy from a medium installation standpoint.""The solution allows you to see the SNMP packets, the DPI packets, and the SNMP server.""One feature that differentiates Alcatel-Lucent OmniAccess Stellar from some other vendors is the fact that on-premise OmniVista licenses are perpetual.""We are very satisfied with the performance."

Cons
"Enrolling into the tool is a tedious process.""The pricing is very high in the Indian market.""The price could be better.""I need a bit more time with it before criticizing the features.""They should include SD-WAN features to it.""Improving third-party integration is key for Juniper Mist's next release.""Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points’ support services need improvement.""The solution is expensive."

More Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points Cons →

"The current implementation of our Guest Access network in isolation for Express mode is very complicated in comparison with leading market solutions.""If the customers plan to go on the cloud side, they need encryption and daily communications from a security perspective.""There are occasional OS bugs.""I would prefer to have the integrated heat map feature provided by the basic controller in the Solution instead of purchasing an external one. Accessing this capability directly within the controller's access point would be convenient.""Alcatel-Lucent OmniAccess Stellar's radio management side could be improved.""Better integration with third-party systems is what our customers are expecting in the future.""It needs to be faster in order to process and transmit bigger packets.""It is not possible to integrate Alcatel-Lucent OmniAccess Stellar with third-party software like Opera, a property management system (PMS)."

More Alcatel-Lucent OmniAccess Stellar Cons →

"The setup is not very easy. It requires some experience with Wi-Fi, especially with cloud connection and security.""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.""The solution can be more integrated with other brands.""It is suitable for smaller organizations, but it may not be the best choice for large enterprises.""If there's a way to get a floor map of our office space so we can place the access points on a map to be able to see what's what, where everything is going, where the most traffic is being connected, that would be a nice feature.""The solution should include higher speed and lesser cost.""It's only suitable for smaller offices. It doesn't scale well.""It is scalable to a certain degree but not nearly as scalable and robust as your enterprise-grade solutions."

  • "I rate the pricing an eight out of ten."
  • "The pricing is fair."
  • More Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "The price is in the range of other brands like Cisco, maybe a little cheaper but you get the same features, facilities, and security. Licensing is something Alcatel is making changes to. A few years ago you would buy a WLAN solution from Alcatel for half the price of Cisco, but you would spend the same amount on licensing. Today this is different and the licensing is cheaper."
  • "We find the price comparable to other products on the market."
  • "The price of this product is average and it is a one-time, perpetual license."
  • "It's pricey, but better than similar solutions."
  • "Alcatel-Lucent OmniAccess Stellar is a mid-range solution with respect to pricing."
  • "At times, it appears that the solution's pricing is slightly higher. This makes it challenging to persuade customers who primarily focus on the price."

  • "Its price is fair. It is not really cheap, and it is also not expensive. It is in the middle."
  • "The price of Aruba Instant On Access Points is reasonable. They are competitively priced. I've even used it in my home at one time because of the low price."
  • "You buy it for $165 an AP, which is what we paid."
  • "It is competitively priced. It was at a price point that made sense for me to put in my home, and that says something. The cost of the solution includes everything we need to manage and upgrade our Wi-Fi network, including the mobile management app. Having the licensing and all the functionality built into the base price of the product is really important for me. There are no extra costs for the security feature or automatic software/firmware updates, which is really important to me."
  • "I would rate the solution's pricing an eight out of ten."
  • "It's a cost-effective solution."
  • "I rate the product's pricing a six on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive."
  • "It needs a license."
