"It was expensive. Considering the challenges faced in third-world countries like Pakistan or India, cheaper solutions are preferred."
"The classic Cisco wireless interface is difficult for users to learn."
"Even though the tool offers a cloud-based central management option, the product needs to work on improving the security part a bit since it is an area of concern."
"Older versions are complex to configure and implement."
"The solution could be cheaper and have a better web interface."
"The solution is stable but it could be improved. However, this could be because there are not enough APs."
"It's expensive."
"The solution should create configuration documentation."
"The support on offer to other vendors switching - like Aruba or Ruckus - could be improved."
"We would prefer it if the solution could be less expensive."
"There could be a high level of security."
"The biggest issue was that Juniper stopped developing, so we had to look for another solution."
"The solution could offer more integration with other products."
"There could be more information from the controller, and it could be easier to work with the controller lights. It's not easy to bring up the upgrades."
