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 simplicity is great."
"The solution is very secure."
"With Mist, every Wednesday they roll out new features."
"The most useful feature of Juniper Wireless AP is the reporting Marvis."
"Overall, we've been very pleased with the performance."
"The solution is pretty generic and easy to use."
"The solution is stable."
"You can easily monitor, manage, and cover all your IT equipment."
"I have a very good experience with the solution. Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"Mist AI and Cloud have definitely improved the functioning of our organization. The access to the Internet, including its speed and reliability, has significantly improved."
"The AI deployment process involves adding access points and placing them in the designated area. The AI system automatically adjusts channel selection and transmission power without any issues with stability or throughput. It has improved network performance."
"Has an extremely good feature set."
"The most useful aspect of Mist AI and Cloud is automation capabilities."
"Multi PSK (Pre-shared Key) is a very good feature in the solution...Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The tool's best part is the GUI. It is user-friendly and fast due to AI features. The solution can help you fix things with AI, which is impressive."
"AI is the most valuable feature."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward."
"Because of Zero-IT, it is easier to get people connected to the correct SSID without providing a passphrase."
"The most valuable feature is the signature feature from Ruckus; the feature is called the BeamFlex. BeamFlex adaptive antenna technology takes a more adaptable approach allowing the access point to continually sense and optimize for its environment. The signals can be sent in a particular predetermined direction as desired. The technology allows for electrically manipulated antenna properties creating optimal antenna patterns for each device with which they communicated: the signal is focused, where the user is positioning."
"What I like best about Ruckus Wireless is that it's a controller-based product, so it's easy to configure."
"For me, the most valuable features are good integration with the customer's existing network and the ease of deployment and configuration. Ruckus products are also easy to learn to manage and deploy for not only our own staff, but also for the IT workers in the customer's organization."
"Stability has been very good. It is reliable."
"Ruckus Wireless is a valuable solution. It's both scalable and reliable."
"The speed between client to client is really nice. It is better than any other vendor, but officially, I cannot say that to people."
"It would be helpful to have even stronger security features to help protect against interference from other nearby access points that aren't part of our network."
"The solution is expensive."
"Juniper Wireless AP can improve by continually improving its reporting and integration with other systems."
"The price could be better."
"The pricing should be made cheaper."
"Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points’ support services need improvement."
"Improvement is needed in the user-friendliness of Juniper Mist, particularly in enhancing the interaction with AI features."
"They should include SD-WAN features to it."
"The user experience should be improved. It's not user-friendly."
"Sometimes it takes a lot of time for the access point to connect with the cloud."
"Currently, the solution lacks the ability to configure with other solutions from other vendors."
"The solution lacks documentation."
"The solution doesn't provide mail notifications currently."
"Mist AI and Cloud need to improve the configuration speed."
"There could be more integration."
"It would be beneficial to have support for the Chinese language."
"I would like to see better mapping capability because it can be really difficult, especially if you are deploying on a remote island."
"Captive portal for guest access on the controller could be enhanced."
"They need to be able to allow us to keep some of the older products on our cloud controllers or any of their controllers longer and just start supporting the new controllers. They force you into an upgrade unnecessarily."
"Its pricing and licensing can be improved. Its UI can also be more user-friendly. Currently, in the Unleashed mode, the information that you have about the switches that you add to the controller is quite limited. I would like more information regarding switches. In this mode, an access point acts as a controller, so you don't need a controller. It is for deployments with less than 125 access points, and you can use an access point as a controller."
"They can improve the cloud portion. Other vendors have a cloud controller, and they can provide the same so that we can see everything."
"Ruckus is a bad solution in general. It's pretty old and outdated."
"The solution lacks a lot of features other solutions provide. If you are an organization that is more focused on security or you need a lot of other features, such as location tracking then Ruckus Wireless may not be the right choice. If you want a solution with more than basic security I would choose Arista or Aruba."
"An area for improvement in Ruckus Wireless is automating its guest WiFi access function. Currently, the product requires token generation, so it would be better if there's a portal for the guest to log in and get the password rather than the IT team needing to give passwords to guests."
