Pros
"You can easily monitor, manage, and cover all your IT equipment.""The artificial intelligence feature is very good.""In terms of reporting, in terms of all the user reports, it's very rich.""It provides private network access, helping us protect our company’s devices.""The solution is pretty generic and easy to use.""The most useful feature of Juniper Wireless AP is the reporting Marvis.""With Mist, every Wednesday they roll out new features.""The AI capabilities of Mist Wireless are superior to other OEMs."

More Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points Pros →

"Its technical support is excellent.""It's really easy to set up. And, you don't have to pay for the cloud solution. That's really interesting for our clients. And the other thing is, the roaming is also quite good.""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.""Its performance is very good. It suits small and medium sites very well.""I would rate the stability of this solution a ten out of ten.""The product is easy to set up, providing value for time since it is very quick.""The configuration is very simple.""The app and the provisioning are the best features of the product. It was really impressive that I was able to just provision it remotely. I didn't have to be on-site with my friend, and we were just able to get everything up and operational. So, the app is great. It sends me notifications when things are down, and it tells me how everything is doing."

More Aruba Instant On Access Points Pros →

"The solution has been dependable and has kept up with modern technology.""The initial setup is not complicated.""The performance and availability of Omada Access Points have met our business needs, particularly in improving network control and facilitating direct access for developers to branch services.""The most valuable feature of TP-Link Auranet EAP is its high performance.""When this solution is set up, it is solid. It offers fast deployment.""The solution's most valuable feature is its price.""Its sturdiness and cost-effectiveness are the most valuable features.""We use Omada Access Points for the network and Wi-Fi."

Cons
"Improving third-party integration is key for Juniper Mist's next release.""If you want to do more specific stuff, it's a bit limited.""Juniper Wireless AP can improve by continually improving its reporting and integration with other systems.""I need a bit more time with it before criticizing the features.""Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points’ support services need improvement.""Juniper Wireless Access Points (AP Series) could improve if the MIST platform had a built-in master key. This would be an advantage.""There is room for improvement in terms of support and installation.""The pricing should be made cheaper."

More Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points Cons →

"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.""While it is mostly scalable, there are some limitations.""The tool is priced high.""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.""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.""It is scalable to a certain degree but not nearly as scalable and robust as your enterprise-grade solutions.""It's only suitable for smaller offices. It doesn't scale well.""If anything, its reporting could be improved."

More Aruba Instant On Access Points Cons →

"Upgrading the hardware capabilities to newer versions like Wi-Fi 6 or Wi-Fi 7 would be a helpful improvement.""The price of the solution is an area requiring improvement since I want the solution to be made available at a cheaper price than its current market price.""TP-Link Auranet EAP is not very efficient, they need to improve it.""It's better for smaller organizations. This would not work for enterprises. It is not very scalable.""We have some issues with stability. It is not so fast. That is the main problem.""The technical support could be improved.""Omada's ordering platform could be improved, though. Some of their distributors are a pain to work with.""The solution takes a long time to switch to another connection, which should be improved."

    Say yes to secure Wi-Fi access.

    Pre-built access control lists (ACLs) and built-in firewall in the access points prevent malicious traffic from entering your network – we call it “hassle-free” security.

The free EAP Controller software allows users to manage hundreds of EAPs at multiple sites, all from a single location. The ability to control, adjust and visualize the entire network from any connected PC makes centralized business Wi-Fi management more efficient than ever before. Omada EAPs also feature captive portal and advanced RF management functions, which make them ideal for demanding, high-traffic environments such as campuses, hotels, malls and offices.
