More Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points Cons →

"If the port is damaged, then Aruba Access Points don't work properly.""They should reduce the prices as an advanced marketing tool.""The stability must be improved.""The ICT dynamic is important. Every other vendor is innovating with new features and ideas. They need to compete and implement these things to stay ahead. So, I would suggest Aruba continue to gain the competitive edge.""The product's stability and technical support services needs improvement.""The product is highly priced. They could improve pricing.""Aruba Access Points should improve its automation.""The licensing models lack clarity."

More Aruba Access Points Cons →

"D-Link Wireless’s stability needs improvement.""The solution's performance could be improved.""The tool's technical support can get difficult sometimes. We got a technician only after complaining for 10-15 days. The tool's technicians need to be made available everywhere.""Its interface and support system need much improvement. Sometimes, when we use the interface to reset the password and configure SSIDs, or some other changes, the "Save" option does not show and we have to go to some internal setting and then we can "save" the setting. The “Save” option should be in front of or below of the settings.""Sometimes we configure the SSID with a password but the same AP shows two WiFi connections with the same SSID name (one is protected by a password and another one give access without a password).""In future, it would also be good to have a switch within D Link that works as well as the Cisco 9200 Switch.""The performance offered by D-Link Wireless can be a bit problematic at times, owing to which it is an area that can be considered for improvement.""Password restriction: Sometimes we set a password and it uses that password but, after some days/months, the password gets changed and a few laptops still use old the password while a few use the new password. The password restriction option needs to improve."
