Useful reporting, integrates well, and highly superior support
We use Juniper Wireless AP in schools. We have one Juniper Wireless AP covering two classrooms. They are helping kids with their daily connectivity needs in the classroom, such as studying and homework Juniper Wireless AP has allowed my IT directors and other IT personnel to not have to focus on…

Stable product but bad tech support
Mojo provided us with the in-house solution and controller solution.  Mojo Networks should focus on improving its management area and support. We have been using Mojo Networks for the last five years. I would rate the stability an eight out of ten. Mojo Networks is a stable product. I would…

The most stable option among major Wi-Fi products
We use it for public Wi-Fi services Ruckus Wireless improved our organization's operations compared to other competitors like Cisco, HP Arbor, and Extreme Networks. We ran pilot tests and assessed functionality and stability over four months. Ultimately, we chose Ruckus. I find signal combining…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The most valuable feature of the solution is Marvis, the AI-driven network management system."
"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."
"With Mist, every Wednesday they roll out new features."
"Juniper Mist offers valuable features like comprehensive network insight, granular policy control, fast device setup, strong security, and efficient SSL traffic management."
"In terms of reporting, in terms of all the user reports, it's very rich."
"The most useful feature of Juniper Wireless AP is the reporting Marvis."
"The simplicity is great."
"The solution is very secure."
"The fact that they are autonomous and can function even without access to the management panel is the most valuable aspect of this solution."
"It is a hundred percent scalable product since its functionalities are good...It is a very stable product."
"Mojo Networks (Arista WiFi) is extremely secure with WIPS, built-in wireless."
"The security is a valuable feature."
"The features that I like the most are the visibility and the firewall, which is very good."
"Initial setup was straightforward."
"Security is top-notch with WIPS (Wireless Intrusion Prevention System)."
"Their Cognitive WiFi analytics (Mojo Aware) is the biggest feature on their dashboard. It helps us know where the problem, so we don't have to spend time with the customer diagnosing it."
"The most valuable feature is that Ruckus offers better coverage."
"Our IT staff can quickly issue guest passes for vendors and the instructions are very straightforward, requiring very little effort to get connected."
"The most valuable feature is the performance. It works great."
"It has one of the smoothest operations."
"In general, all implementations are standard and pretty straightforward."
"At times of heavy network congestion, we can restrict the bandwidth available to clients either by SSID or at the client level, which helps cut down on our bandwidth costs."
"Zero-handoff is one of the top features. The client balancing between the access points is good. Its security is also fine."
"The initial setup is very simple."
 

Cons

"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."
"There is room for improvement in terms of support and installation."
"Juniper Wireless AP can improve by continually improving its reporting and integration with other systems."
"They should include SD-WAN features to it."
"Improving third-party integration is key for Juniper Mist's next release."
"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 pricing should be made cheaper."
"My only complaint about this product is its availability. Not many people can stock it and ordering from overseas is a challenge."
"Compared to other OEMs, Mojo Networks or Arista faces a little bit of coverage issues. So, if we put the same dBm, the power of the other OEMs indicates much more extensive coverage compared to Mojo or Arista."
"The solution is a bit pricier than Cisco."
"They could use more additional application security and network security features. They could add on to the WiFi as a selling point. It would be nice to be able to say to the WiFi users, "We will protect you against viruses and malware, so you don't have to purchase that.""
"The ​RF signalling and data analytics parts should be improved.​"
"I would like to have a single pane of glass to better control the access point and the switching."
"The customer service and support took a lot of time to come on the troubleshooting call."
"The implementation could be simplified. Right now it's a bit complex."
"I think that Web management, global management, could be improved. Unfortunately, there's not one solution that does everything. There are something like six different solutions, and each of them do something better than the others. Unfortunately, there's not one global solution that does everything."
"I would like the option to not have my logs deleted when I shut down the device so that I will be able to troubleshoot."
"The product is very expensive."
"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."
"Their support has been lacking a little bit and needs to be improved. I have had a ticket open for a month, and it is really hard to get a resolution out of them. They haven't really come out with anything that is much of an improvement in a long time. It has mostly just been fixes and things like that. We used to have a ZoneDirector or a physical controller for the wireless network, and that was kind of end of life. It was very old, and at the time, we were expanding the wireless network, and we didn't want to rely on one piece of hardware that was pretty old. So, we went to SmartZone Cluster, which has two VMs in a cluster. Unfortunately, we lost the feature ability for guest networks and other things that we were using before, and Ruckus just kind of told us that they weren't supporting that feature in the newer product, which is not really great. I was told initially that SmartZone was an upgrade to ZoneDirector. It is the logical thing to think that it is going to have all the same features, but it didn't. The issue that we have right now is onboarding BYOD devices. It is not really great for us, and we're looking for a new product to make that easier. We did have Cloudpath, which was a product that Ruckus purchased from another company that was an onboarding solution, but it just didn't really work very well for us. So, we discontinued using it, and it actually created more confusion for people. They should make BYOD or guest network portals a lot easier and better. In some areas, we have been having issues because there are just so many WAPs that are so close that we had to manually turn down the radio of power because the automatic feature of the AP wasn't really doing it right. It should also have a little bit better RF analysis capability to be able to see on the controller side. The front end for our staff, students, and guests has also not been quite as good as we had hoped."
"They should work to make their licensing more affordable."
"I would like to see more detailed network performance, monitoring, and reporting tools or information. This would improve the deployment of multi-site networks and help administrators to progress on a timely efficient manner."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is something Juniper Wireless Access Points (AP Series) can work on. The pricing is very high compared to the competition."
"I rate the pricing an eight out of ten."
"We pay maybe 1000 SEK per year, per access point."
"I rate Juniper Mist's pricing a ten out of ten since it is expensive."
"The pricing is too high."
"Juniper Wireless AP's price is a little more expensive than other solutions, but you get what you pay for."
"I rate the product price as a six on a scale of one to ten, where one is inexpensive, and ten is expensive. It is a reasonably priced tool."
"The pricing is fair."
"It requires a license and that's a recurring cost and that has a really high cheque value."
"We have a term that is renewed every three years."
"Of every solution we looked at, every wireless solution, Mojo was a minimum of six figures cheaper. Minimum. Most of them were double, which again is unheard of. Not only do you get all the feature benefits, like everything is there, everything just works, but at the same time, it was a no-brainer, because of the cost. It's almost like you hit the lottery."
"The cost is a one-time fee."
"The license is provided per access point, so you buy an access point and you use it."
"In Australian dollars, we buy it for five years at $1,200."
"There are other solutions, like Ubiquiti, that have lowered their prices, which sometimes makes the argument to go with them. However, we do not bake in the WiFi for other vendors into our managed services, because they do not meet our standard offering."
"The pricing was a good value and substantially less than some of the other products that we looked at. In some cases, with some of the big names, this product was even close to half the price."
"I would rate their pricing 3 out of 5. There is no annual licensing cost."
"Ubiquiti and Aruba Instant On are good for small businesses in terms of cost than Ruckus Wireless."
"The only complaint I have about Ruckus is the price, but considering other enterprise WiFi products are similarly priced, I feel Ruckus is a superior product."
"Ruckus is an expensive solution."
"The setup that I have at the moment does not require licensing, although I am not sure whether a bigger project will mean that I have to spend more."
""The biggest adjustment improvement will come from a price adjustment because the price is quite high; it feels like premium pricing. I suggest shaving off 10 percent to 20 percent. That would help grow users and increase the number of clients.""
"We paid for a three-year contract last year. I am not sure about what we paid. It is certainly less expensive than Meraki."
"It is decently priced."
