"What our customers like the most is that this device is so rugged. It has very good performance and throughput. Its console is very easy to use and has many features, which makes it different from its competitors. Cloud IQ has all the features built into the console, whereas other solutions require you to integrate multiple solutions with their consoles. You don't need to add anything extra with Cloud IQ. With this single solution, you can do almost everything."
"App and firewall security at the AP."

"If you want to do more specific stuff, it's a bit limited."
"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 pricing should be made cheaper."
"The pricing is very high in the Indian market."
"Improvement is needed in the user-friendliness of Juniper Mist, particularly in enhancing the interaction with AI features."
"The price could be better."

"There are occasional OS bugs."
"Better integration with third-party systems is what our customers are expecting in the future."
"I would prefer to have the integrated heat map feature provided by the basic controller in the Solution instead of purchasing an external one. Accessing this capability directly within the controller's access point would be convenient."
"If the customers plan to go on the cloud side, they need encryption and daily communications from a security perspective."
"Alcatel-Lucent OmniAccess Stellar's radio management side could be improved."
"ExtremeCloud IQ’s user interface needs to be improved, and its current bugs need to be fixed."
