"We like the flexibility and the security, and the product is very easy to use.""Aruba Access Points’ most valuable features are network mobility and reliability for network access.""Aruba is a controller-based solution.

More Aruba Access Points Pros →

This enables us to be proactive in providing support and ensures smooth operations for our clients.""The product is user-friendly and helps with cost minimization.""This solution is extremely user-friendly; it is very easy to configure and work with.""The product has valuable throughput capabilities.

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.""The price could be better.""I need a bit more time with it before criticizing the features.""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.""Improving third-party integration is key for Juniper Mist's next release.""Juniper Wireless AP can improve by continually improving its reporting and integration with other systems.""The solution is expensive."

More Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points Cons →

"Going with a cloud solution will make dependency no longer a challenge from a connectivity point of view.""The product's stability and technical support services needs improvement.""They should reduce the prices as an advanced marketing tool.""Aruba sometimes redesigns Aruba Central and the web interface, which is sometimes an annoyance.""The product's prices are an area of concern. The product should be available at a lower price point.""I would appreciate for the higher-end models to offer the same signal strength as the older, smaller models, even while maintaining the latest standards, as this would enhance the overall network performance and coverage.""The platform’s speed for data flow could be better.""The product fails to provide better and extended coverage, making it in an area where improvements are required in the tool."

More Aruba Access Points Cons →

"The solution’s technical support could be faster.""Not a lot of technical engineers are familiar with Cambium Networks Wireless LAN. They are familiar with implementing and using other solutions such as Aruba. Therefore, Cambium Networks needs to be more visible in the marketplace.""What could be improved in Cambium Networks Wireless LAN is its efficiency in large areas because we noticed that there's a need to increase the APs in large rooms or spaces for the Wi-Fi to be more efficient. Another area for improvement in Cambium Networks Wireless LAN is bandwidth management. This is a feature that Meraki has that allows you to control user bandwidth, so my company has a pilot project to test Meraki Wireless LAN. Bandwidth control is an additional feature I'd like to see in Cambium Networks Wireless LAN as that would make the solution better.""If they could include some sort of web filtering, in-built antivirus, anti-malware, and data stream scanning in the next release.""Our areas for improvement would be a refresh with the most recent technology available.""There is room for improvement in the pricing model.""The solution should be scalable, offering better pricing options as we optimize the network for coverage, capacity, and quality""The platform's cost needs improvement."
