"With Mist, every Wednesday they roll out new features."
"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."
"It provides private network access, helping us protect our company’s devices."
"The solution is stable."
"You can easily monitor, manage, and cover all your IT equipment."
"The solution is pretty generic and easy to use."
"The simplicity is great."
"Aruba Access Points is an easy-to-use solution."
"We like the flexibility and the security, and the product is very easy to use."
"Aruba is a controller-based solution. We have some multi-story buildings. We only need to maintain one controller, and we can manage it from a single IP address."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its stability."
"It offers remarkable client-handling capacity."
"Aruba Access Points is an economical solution."
"The product’s most valuable feature is its ability to offer wireless connectivity to any service provider."
"The solution's support, stability, scalability, and good redundancy features are beneficial for our network management."
"The dashboard tells us who is using most of the bandwidth, and how many APs are not in good range, or that do not actually have good security. It shows us which users are trying to hack or how many users are trying to use BitTorrent. So it gives us very good visibility into the user."
"It has helped in making deployments easier."
"It is easy to install and deploy."
"It's a very stable system."
"If we really want to know where a specific user is connected, it gives us the ability to see that and how that user is actually receiving. We can know the speed and their IP, their MAC address and, most of the time, how much bandwidth they're using per day."
"Aruba Wireless is easily scaled between a lot of devices and a lot of endpoints. When we decided to use it as our solution, we had planned to use it exactly for its ability to scale."
"Initial setup was very straightforward. We set up the switches and APs, then took it from there. "
"I have found the most valuable features are the new Wi-Fi six technology and it also integrates with triple-A solutions. It has good bandwidth and virtual control."
"Juniper Wireless Access Points (AP Series) could improve if the MIST platform had a built-in master key. This would be an advantage."
"They should include SD-WAN features to it."
"If you want to do more specific stuff, it's a bit limited."
"Improving third-party integration is key for Juniper Mist's next release."
"The price could be better."
"The pricing should be made cheaper."
"The solution is expensive."
"I need a bit more time with it before criticizing the features."
"The product should provide more coverage."
"They should reduce the prices as an advanced marketing tool."
"I am not able to integrate Aruba Access Points in Azure AD. It is also quite expensive."
"The disadvantage of Aruba Access Points is experienced by me when I need it to offer me a long range of coverage."
"The tool could be cheaper."
"The support from Aruba, as well as the overall HPE unit, has been lacking. The regional head and hepatic services are nonresponsive, leading to a decline in market share. While Aruba is recognized for its top-notch quality, especially in switching technology, the services and support in the African region need significant improvement. There is a suggestion to focus on enhancing services, support, and presale activities in this region to address the challenges faced by customers, particularly in healthcare. Continued emphasis on research and development, along with addressing regional issues, is recommended for sustained success."
"If the port is damaged, then Aruba Access Points don't work properly."
"Since we manufacture medical devices, we must adhere to pharmaceutical guidelines. According to these guidelines, our rooms are categorized as 'head type' and thus require network connectivity. However, installing high-end APs in every room may not be feasible."
"Needs improvement in point-to-point deployment products."
"The support should be faster."
"I wish the APs had the ability to enter in notes about a specific AP."
"Improvements to the GUI, such as being able to search in the Mobility Master, would be nice."
"The upgrades tend to be buggy and better testing is needed before they are released."
"Aruba needs to be more competitive with newer products. Their legacy makes that more difficult for them."
"The dashboards that represent the network access control in Aruba Wireless could improve."
"Because it's cloud-based, it takes time for the floor maps and the heat map to load."
