We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The most valuable feature of Aruba Instant On Access Points is they are easy to manage.""I would rate the stability of this solution a ten out of ten.""The solution is scalable.""The product is easy to set up, providing value for time since it is very quick.""The configuration is very simple.""Regarding access points, the customer typically considers low-cost plans, and Ruckus Unleashed Access Points are commonly used. These access points are managed through the Microsoft console and can be accessed either with or without ports. The management is done through a controller. The main benefits customers see include cost-effectiveness, especially for those with budget constraints. Aruba, in particular, provides a good user experience. Some customers might choose Huawei, but enterprise access points are also considered. Additionally, the unified access point capabilities are valuable, allowing management from the same account. However, there is a limitation of twenty-five access points, and if a customer requires more, they need to create another site or account. If the customer exceeds twenty-five access points, they need to generate another site or virtual business to manage additional access points, as the external number is limited to twenty-five.""The coverage Aruba provides across the physical area is much better. Most probably because of the new technology, the 4x4 antenna, and everything around it. It's just a much better, easier to use, and easier to manage product.""It's super user-friendly."

"The simplicity is great.""The solution is stable.""The artificial intelligence feature is very good.""The AI capabilities of Mist Wireless are superior to other OEMs.""The most valuable feature of Juniper Mist is the Virtual Network Assistant, powered by artificial intelligence.""The most valuable feature of the solution is Marvis, the AI-driven network management system.""The most useful feature of Juniper Wireless AP is the reporting Marvis.""It provides private network access, helping us protect our company’s devices."

Cons
"The solution can be more integrated with other brands.""When there are a lot of people connected, especially during video streaming demonstrations, the connection can get a bit choppy.""It is suitable for smaller organizations, but it may not be the best choice for large enterprises.""It is scalable to a certain degree but not nearly as scalable and robust as your enterprise-grade solutions.""Software-wise, I would like to have a way of moving APs from site to site and wish there would be a way to add more APs to one site. I know the limit is 25 APs per site and I wish there were more.""If there's a way to get a floor map of our office space so we can place the access points on a map to be able to see what's what, where everything is going, where the most traffic is being connected, that would be a nice feature.""I would like to see a feature that blocks, increases, or decreases bandwidth capacity for devices.""When I first deployed the solution, I couldn't use a tagged VLAN for the management. It might already have been fixed in a recent firmware upgrade."

"The solution is expensive.""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.""Improving third-party integration is key for Juniper Mist's next release.""The price could be better.""Juniper Wireless AP can improve by continually improving its reporting and integration with other systems.""The pricing should be made cheaper.""There is room for improvement in terms of support and installation.""Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points’ support services need improvement."

Pricing and Cost Advice

There are no extra costs for the security feature or automatic software/firmware updates, which is really important to me."
