We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The simplicity is great.""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 useful feature of Juniper Wireless AP is the reporting Marvis.""The solution is stable.""The solution is pretty generic and easy to use.""It provides private network access, helping us protect our company’s devices.""Overall, we've been very pleased with the performance.""In terms of reporting, in terms of all the user reports, it's very rich."

"I believe the initial setup was straightforward."

More ADTRAN Bluesocket Wireless Pros →

"I now have the ability to remote access my network. That works extremely well. I can access it from any place. I don't need to be physically at the device. This saves me on time and travel.""[Being] able to configure the WiFi devices and to see utilization remotely, or from the cloud.""Our company sometimes uses the solution's technical support, and we have seen that they sort out our general problems quickly.""The metrics demonstrate that NETGEAR really does a good job of balancing the load between the various access points on the networks and this results in an elimination of downtime.""The meshing capabilities are the most valuable feature. When I am going in-between buildings, my phone doesn't have to pick up different WiFi. They are all the same. Even in-between the buildings, I stay connected.""The initial setup of NETGEAR Insight Access Points was straightforward.""I am all about simplicity. With the Insight management solution, I don’t need an additional cloud controller, appliance, network manager, or PC/server to configure and manage my access points. You have to look at cost, and everything has a cost. There is a cost to using Insight. But if the cost is reasonable, I don't want another layer. The ability to deploy a network and then have that software built-in, without having to go to a third-party, is big. Also, the less pieces that I have to call in on, the better. So, when I'm calling NETGEAR, it's not like I'm using some third-party piece of software to manage their product. It doesn't add that layer of complexity, which is key.""From the WiFi aspect, it's very intuitive and easy to use. The solution enables me to manage my entire WiFi from anywhere in the world..."

Cons
"The product should include adaptive Wi-Fi to show a more accurate location.""They should include SD-WAN features to it.""If you want to do more specific stuff, it's a bit limited.""Juniper Wireless AP can improve by continually improving its reporting and integration with other systems.""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 is very high in the Indian market.""The price could be better.""The pricing should be made cheaper."

More Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points Cons →

"Support is not really up to par in quickly addressing issues.""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."

More ADTRAN Bluesocket Wireless Cons →

"Due to certain shortcomings in the solution's stability, I feel that the solution's stability requires improvement.""There is always room for improvement.""While the data throughput does provide us with full insight into data being used, we find that it's not very accurate.""Ubiquiti is a very good company. NETGEAR should look at that model and expand on its remote capabilities. Ubiquiti seems to have a better product.""My major problem is right now, the area which I need to cover is around 7,000 to 10,000 square feet...I would like NETGEAR Insight Access Points to extend the area coverage they provide.""A con is the backend system which is very, very slow.""The biggest issue I've had is that it works very well with the WiFi, but it does not offer any assistance at all with the routers. You can't control them or manage them at all. As soon as you want to use anything on the network side—because I have multiple 28-port switches—you can't manage them using this app.""I have some frustrations with the ease of use. It tends to be sluggish. The graphical interface is pretty, but not useful. They have this tree that shows connected devices, which makes no sense whatsoever because the labeling field of the tree truncates all the items to the point that it's almost useless. You can't even tell what it is. I would prefer a spreadsheet list of the gear as opposed to a graphical representation."
