Find out what your peers are saying about HPE Aruba Networking, Cisco, Ruckus and others in Wireless LAN."The solution is very secure."
"The most valuable feature of Juniper Mist is the Virtual Network Assistant, powered by artificial intelligence."
"The solution is pretty generic and easy to use."
"The artificial intelligence feature is very good."
"The solution is stable."
"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."
"It's been running for the past three years with no default configuration."
"AirWave is a valuable feature."
"With the central management system, I'm able to access each device. I can configure one device and then it provisions all the other devices with the same configuration, rather than my having to configure them one by one."
"Basic initial setup is very easy when it comes to a new user on-premise."
"The feature that I love the most is being able to broadcast different SSIDs with different protocol requirements. "
"The product has been pretty stable...The product is scalable."
"Its graphical user interface is designed to be user-friendly, making work more efficient."
"It delivers constantly, there is no break in the internet using these devices. It also automatically gets connected when the internet comes back. Failure is very low."
"The solution offers us good situational awareness by providing information on user activity, signal strength, and all the data that you need to manage the system and understand issues."
"Overall, it's a straightforward solution."
"Very simple, very basic setup for Ubiquiti Wireless. Its performance in a home or small business setting with fewer access points is fantastic."
"The solution is easy to use and flexible."
"What I found most valuable in Ubiquiti Wireless is that it's priced competitively, compared to other brands available in the market. From a price competitiveness standpoint, it's a product I would recommend. I also find Ubiquiti Wireless quite reliable, at least for me using it as a home access point, it seems to serve its purpose. I also like that with Ubiquiti Wireless, you can build a very modular network, so you could change out your router to use a Ubiquiti router if you want to. The solution also has gateway equipment and all, so I like the modular concept of Ubiquiti Wireless. Another feature I find valuable in the solution is monitoring. It is pretty good. For example, as a home user, I have the unified app on my computer, so I'm able to watch how my APs are performing."
"Ubiquiti devices are centrally managed, and you can log into the access points via SSH. If the GUI isn't working for some reason, you can intervene via SSH."
"We use the solution for many of our smaller customers and the cloud management aspect of the solution is very good. If you compare it to other vendors that have a controller, it's much easier to manage the cloud-based solution because we travel a lot. It allows us to manage everything from any place."
"Ubiquiti Wireless is extremely easy to set up."
"The product should include adaptive Wi-Fi to show a more accurate location."
"The price could be better."
"Improving third-party integration is key for Juniper Mist's next release."
"I need a bit more time with it before criticizing the features."
"There is room for improvement in terms of support and installation."
"Enrolling into the tool is a tedious process."
"The pricing should be made cheaper."
"Juniper Wireless AP can improve by continually improving its reporting and integration with other systems."
"Because it's cloud-based, it takes time for the floor maps and the heat map to load."
"The initial setup is more complex than other solutions."
"A lot of the access point commands are in the command line interface, versus being in the GUI."
"The stability and management could be improved."
"The solution's GUI for configuration could be better."
"The Help option within the GUI needs to be improved."
"Aruba needs to be more competitive with newer products. Their legacy makes that more difficult for them."
"Aruba Wireless is a little bit complex to use and operate."
"A contract solution with 24/7 support would greatly benefit users, especially in critical situations requiring immediate assistance."
"The production is not very stable in our experience."
"This might not be the best solution for a very large organization."
"They should have more VLAN features and a designing tool like a link planer."
"Their stock is a bit low compared to others, making it difficult to purchase."
"Ubiquiti is also slow to adopt new technologies. We are transitioning to Wi-Fi 6, and there aren't many products. They have mostly Wi-Fi 5 products, but there are only two Wi-Fi 6 products. It's okay for places we have already equipped, but it's a bit hard for new places."
"Central monitoring is the main functionality that should be included in the product."
"The strength of the routers could be improved. When it comes to serious routing, the solution doesn't measure up to the big guys like Juniper and Cisco, but we don't expect it to."
