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 pretty generic and easy to use."

"With Mist, every Wednesday they roll out new features."
"The solution is stable."
"It's super user-friendly."
"The configuration is very simple."
"The app and the provisioning are the best features of the product. It was really impressive that I was able to just provision it remotely. I didn't have to be on-site with my friend, and we were just able to get everything up and operational. So, the app is great. It sends me notifications when things are down, and it tells me how everything is doing."
"The coverage Aruba provides across the physical area is much better. Most probably because of the new technology, the 4x4 antenna, and everything around it. It's just a much better, easier to use, and easier to manage product."
"The solution is scalable."
"I would rate the stability of this solution a ten out of ten."
"The initial setup is easy."
"Its performance is very good. It suits small and medium sites very well."
"The interface is excellent. We've been really happy with it."
"The fact that Cisco Meraki is cloud based and is reasonably priced has been most valuable."
"The most valuable features are the multiple types of user groupings and access management."
"The tool's most valuable feature is report generation. Its dashboard helps me a lot with user analytics."
"The solution is very easy to use."
"It is more robust for me to deploy networks. And because of the field we are in where offices open up and others close, it helps my turnaround time to deploy these networks for the customers."
"Integrating with the router, firewall, and Wireless Controller is advantageous."
"It improved the installation time."
"I need a bit more time with it before criticizing the features."
"There is room for improvement in terms of support and installation."
"If you want to do more specific stuff, it's a bit limited."
"Improving third-party integration is key for Juniper Mist's next release."
"Juniper Wireless AP can improve by continually improving its reporting and integration with other systems."
"The product should include adaptive Wi-Fi to show a more accurate location."
"Juniper Wireless Access Points (AP Series) could improve if the MIST platform had a built-in master key. This would be an advantage."
"The price could be better."
"It is suitable for smaller organizations, but it may not be the best choice for large enterprises."
"While it is mostly scalable, there are some limitations."
"It's only suitable for smaller offices. It doesn't scale well."
"I would like to see a feature that blocks, increases, or decreases bandwidth capacity for devices."
"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."
"It is scalable to a certain degree but not nearly as scalable and robust as your enterprise-grade solutions."
"When I first deployed the solution, I couldn't use a tagged VLAN for the management. It might already have been fixed in a recent firmware upgrade."
"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."
"Quality of technical support varies."
"Currently, only a limited number of clients can connect to these devices."
"The error logs need to be much more comprehensive."
"If you lose connectivity with the controller, your Wi-Fi network is immediately impacted."
"I would like to see them improve their support where an assigned engineer can take the case all the way to closure. Usually, you get a different engineer calling regarding the same ticket."
"It is super expensive for what you get. I just wish it was less expensive."
"It is not a budget-friendly solution."
"The price could be slightly lowered to make it more competitive in the market."
