Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"In terms of reporting, in terms of all the user reports, it's very rich.""The artificial intelligence feature is very good.""The AI capabilities of Mist Wireless are superior to other OEMs.""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.""The most valuable feature of the solution is Marvis, the AI-driven network management system.""The most valuable feature of Juniper Mist is the Virtual Network Assistant, powered by artificial intelligence.""The solution is stable.""The simplicity is great."

"I believe the initial setup was straightforward."

More ADTRAN Bluesocket Wireless Pros →

"It's really easy to set up. And, you don't have to pay for the cloud solution. That's really interesting for our clients. And the other thing is, the roaming is also quite good.""It's super user-friendly.""The product is scalable. It has 20 users.""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 most valuable feature of Aruba Instant On Access Points is they are easy to manage.""Its performance is very good. It suits small and medium sites very well.""The configuration is very simple.""I would rate the stability of this solution a ten out of ten."

Cons
"The pricing should be made cheaper.""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.""I need a bit more time with it before criticizing the features.""Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points’ support services need improvement.""Juniper Wireless Access Points (AP Series) could improve if the MIST platform had a built-in master key. This would be an advantage.""There is room for improvement in terms of support and installation.""If you want to do more specific stuff, it's a bit limited."

More Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points Cons →

"Having a better dashboard management system that the client can use to access and control their environment would be a nice addition to the product.""Support is not really up to par in quickly addressing issues."

More ADTRAN Bluesocket Wireless Cons →

"I would like to see a feature that blocks, increases, or decreases bandwidth capacity for devices.""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.""If anything, its reporting could be improved.""It is scalable to a certain degree but not nearly as scalable and robust as your enterprise-grade solutions.""While it is mostly scalable, there are some limitations.""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.""It's only suitable for smaller offices. It doesn't scale well.""I believe there's room for improvement in the validation process, especially for customers facing compliance issues when managing access points from the cloud. It would be beneficial if the access points could also be managed from an on-premises controller. Regarding additional features, customers express interest in enhancing the controller, specifically improving the capability to manage a higher number of access points from the same controller. This feature is crucial for better scalability. Another feature that customers would appreciate is the ability to increase the number of access points. However, the current process for obtaining this permission can be time-consuming, and customers would like to see improvements in this regard."
