We performed a comparison between Alcatel-Lucent OmniAccess Stellar and Cisco Wireless based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Wireless LAN solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The solution is stable."
"The artificial intelligence feature is very good."
"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."
"You can easily monitor, manage, and cover all your IT equipment."
"The solution is very secure."
"The AI capabilities of Mist Wireless are superior to other OEMs."
"It provides private network access, helping us protect our company’s devices."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is Marvis, the AI-driven network management system."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward."
"The features aren't much different than those in Aruba, but deployment is easier to configure and the pricing is better."
"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."
"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."
"One feature that differentiates Alcatel-Lucent OmniAccess Stellar from some other vendors is the fact that on-premise OmniVista licenses are perpetual."
"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."
"We are very satisfied with the performance."
"The switches can even detect cable issues which quite often can be the main cause for a call-out within my business."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the Cisco CleanAir and Cisco RRM."
"Cisco Wireless is scalable."
"With Cisco Wireless we have DNA technology for the frequency in which it operates, so that in case of any frequency interference it can look for and switch to another frequency, where there no interference."
"One of the main advantages of Cisco Wireless is its DNAT compatibility. When we have dynamic segmentation, or the DNAT enabled on the LAN, Cisco Access Point integrates with the DNAT architecture. Aruba Switches cannot integrate with the Cisco DNAT architecture."
"The technical support is excellent."
"I've found it to be quite secure."
"The most valuable feature of the solution stems from the fact that it can be integrated into other solutions in a particular environment, including where there are wired and wireless connections."
"If you want to do more specific stuff, it's a bit limited."
"The product should include adaptive Wi-Fi to show a more accurate location."
"The price could be better."
"Juniper Wireless AP can improve by continually improving its reporting and integration with other systems."
"The pricing should be made cheaper."
"Juniper Wireless Access Points (AP Series) could improve if the MIST platform had a built-in master key. This would be an advantage."
"The solution is expensive."
"Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points’ support services need improvement."
"There are occasional OS bugs."
"Better integration with third-party systems is what our customers are expecting in the future."
"Alcatel-Lucent OmniAccess Stellar's radio management side could be improved."
"The current implementation of our Guest Access network in isolation for Express mode is very complicated in comparison with leading market solutions."
"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."
"It is not possible to integrate Alcatel-Lucent OmniAccess Stellar with third-party software like Opera, a property management system (PMS)."
"It needs to be faster in order to process and transmit bigger packets."
"If the customers plan to go on the cloud side, they need encryption and daily communications from a security perspective."
"One of our customers complained about the ripple, that some of the data was incorrect. We opened a ticket and brought it to their attention that maybe some of the data was not correct. As of now, it has been two months since we opened the ticket and the issue still hasn't been resolved."
"The price of Cisco Wireless could be lower."
"Cisco Wireless does not have a dashboard that would make it easier for people to manage the solution, such as Cisco Meraki where you are able to monitor the network through the dashboard and everything is visible making it easier."
"The pricing of Brazil is very expensive. When you look at other options, they are much cheaper."
"The technical support could be better. They aren't as helpful as they need to be when we run into issues."
"We use a Cisco product called Room Kit for meetings. It would be nice if Cisco could improve that. I would also like a cloud solution."
"I wouldn't mind if Cisco allowed their premiere devices to be able to have that cloud-based support as well, or cloud-based management."
"In the next release, I would like to have support for Wi-Fi 6."
