We performed a comparison between Aruba Instant On Access Points and Ubiquiti WLAN based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Wireless LAN solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI.
"With Mist, every Wednesday they roll out new features."
"The most valuable feature of Juniper Wireless Access Points (AP Series) is the ability to troubleshoot ports on the network. Additionally, when there is an update on the APs they are able to reboot quickly reducing downtime. Other solutions have a longer downtime when updates are done."
"The simplicity is great."
"The artificial intelligence feature is very good."
"In terms of reporting, in terms of all the user reports, it's very rich."
"The most valuable feature of Juniper Mist is the Virtual Network Assistant, powered by artificial intelligence."
"The solution is pretty generic and easy to use."
"The solution is stable."
"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 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 initial setup is very simple."
"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 scalable. It has 20 users."
"The most valuable feature is the level of security on the Wi-Fi network."
"The solution works well and in the short time I have used it, I've enjoyed its capabilities."
"Ubiquiti WLAN has been stable and is easy to install."
"For me, the ease of configuration is a valuable feature."
"The solution is scalable."
"The product is simple to use in terms of GUI and dashboard."
"The initial setup is easy."
"The management features are valuable."
"The solution is expensive."
"There is room for improvement in terms of support and installation."
"The pricing should be made cheaper."
"Juniper Wireless Access Points (AP Series) could improve if the MIST platform had a built-in master key. This would be an advantage."
"I need a bit more time with it before criticizing the features."
"Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points’ support services need improvement."
"They should include SD-WAN features to it."
"The price could be better."
"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."
"While it is mostly scalable, there are some limitations."
"The product's machine or equipment can cater to around 20 connections and cannot go beyond 50 simultaneous connections, because of which I think the tool's scalability is limited."
"It's only suitable for smaller offices. It doesn't scale well."
"The solution's range could be better."
"If anything, its reporting could be improved."
"I believe there's room for improvement in the validation process, especially for customers facing compliance issues when managing access points from the cloud. It would be beneficial if the access points could also be managed from an on-premises controller. Regarding additional features, customers express interest in enhancing the controller, specifically improving the capability to manage a higher number of access points from the same controller. This feature is crucial for better scalability. Another feature that customers would appreciate is the ability to increase the number of access points. However, the current process for obtaining this permission can be time-consuming, and customers would like to see improvements in this regard."
"It is scalable to a certain degree but not nearly as scalable and robust as your enterprise-grade solutions."
"The support needs improvement. The official support is kind of complex. It's not that straightforward compared to Cisco and Aruba."
"There seems to be a drop in service. It's definitely a reliability or stability issue we face."
"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 coverage could be increased."
"The product must provide better warranties."
"Largely we're happy with the product, however, the firmware deployments could maybe be managed a little bit differently."
"The solution needs to improve robustness, security, and stability."
"The statistics you can get on it are a bit limited from what I have seen so far."
