More Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points Cons →

"Cloud management is one feature that should be included in the next release. This tool is best suited for small environments, not large and complex ones.""Ubiquiti WLAN would be improved with the addition of individual AP configuration, which would allow for fine-tuning of individual access points and logins.""When I started to upgrade, the controller for Unbuntu was really struggling to start up, however, that has since been solved.""The solution is stable but could improve.""Ubiquiti lacks troubleshooting tools. For example, there aren't tools that your clients can use to gather input on the AP itself. There's no visibility in the application layer or reporting. It doesn't have a lot of management features.""The product's area of concern revolves around its lack of support.""The support needs improvement. The official support is kind of complex. It's not that straightforward compared to Cisco and Aruba.""It is not a stable solution."
