"With Mist, every Wednesday they roll out new features."
"The solution is stable."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is Marvis, the AI-driven network management system."
"The most valuable feature of Juniper Mist is the Virtual Network Assistant, powered by artificial intelligence."
"It provides private network access, helping us protect our company’s devices."
"Juniper Mist offers valuable features like comprehensive network insight, granular policy control, fast device setup, strong security, and efficient SSL traffic management."
"The AI capabilities of Mist Wireless are superior to other OEMs."
"In terms of reporting, in terms of all the user reports, it's very rich."
"It has been a stable solution since its installation."
"It offers a robust warranty and exceptional performance compared to other brands."
"The manageability of both on-premise and cloud versions is valuable."
"After we installed the Aruba switches, the work became faster because the network speed improved."
"It offers remarkable client-handling capacity."
"The main strengths of Aruba Access Points lie in their connectivity, range, and straightforward configuration. Setting up the access point is a quick process, taking only seconds. Standard features such as identity access management, captive deploy tools, and VLE are available. Additionally, Aruba offers medical-grade access points like the 400 series, which is well-suited for healthcare or hospital environments. One noteworthy feature is the impressive handshaking capability, particularly when transitioning between access points. This ensures a seamless experience without disconnection, especially when a well-designed heat map is in place. Aruba Access Points are robust and require minimal maintenance, making them reliable for long-term use."
"The solution gives good visibility into access points."
"Aruba's virtual controller is the most important feature."
"For me, the ease of configuration is a valuable feature."
"The solution has a lot of great features."
"It is similar to the switches, where it is one of those things where it just works. They are very reliable."
"The solution is scalable."
"You can save backups of this controller locally and then I can export it to wherever I want."
"Great management interface."
"Firstly, I initially purchased the device to build a VPN, and one very valuable feature for me was the ability to create a layer two VPN, which was available on the legacy ER router. It allowed me to expand a subnet to a remote site, which was essential for my setup. Additionally, I appreciated that the CLI of the router was similar to other Juniper products that I was familiar with."
"The ease of use and simplicity of the solution is its most valuable feature. This tool is best suited for small environments."
"Improvement is needed in the user-friendliness of Juniper Mist, particularly in enhancing the interaction with AI features."
"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 solution is expensive."
"The product should include adaptive Wi-Fi to show a more accurate location."
"The pricing is very high in the Indian market."
"There is room for improvement in terms of support and installation."
"Juniper Wireless AP can improve by continually improving its reporting and integration with other systems."
"Aruba sometimes redesigns Aruba Central and the web interface, which is sometimes an annoyance."
"In Aruba Access Points, the security part is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The platform’s speed for data flow could be better."
"If the port is damaged, then Aruba Access Points don't work properly."
"The product fails to provide better and extended coverage, making it in an area where improvements are required in the tool."
"They should reduce the prices as an advanced marketing tool."
"The pricing can be improved."
"Going with a cloud solution will make dependency no longer a challenge from a connectivity point of view."
"The room for improvement is in the controller levels."
"Ubiquiti lacks troubleshooting tools. For example, there aren't tools that your clients can use to gather input on the AP itself. There's no visibility in the application layer or reporting. It doesn't have a lot of management features."
"The downside is the interface changes, where they are constantly doing firmware updates."
"Cloud management is one feature that should be included in the next release. This tool is best suited for small environments, not large and complex ones."
"It is not a stable solution."
"I have never used cloud solutions. My first approach would be something related to the cloud, and backups on the cloud, and maybe an easier way to connect to it because I have an on-premises environment."
"Largely we're happy with the product, however, the firmware deployments could maybe be managed a little bit differently."
"The solution is stable but could improve."
