Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The solution is stable.""It provides private network access, helping us protect our company’s devices.""The most useful feature of Juniper Wireless AP is the reporting Marvis.""The solution is pretty generic and easy to use.""The artificial intelligence feature is very good.""The AI capabilities of Mist Wireless are superior to other OEMs.""You can easily monitor, manage, and cover all your IT equipment.""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."

"Aruba Instant is easy to manage.""We like being able to merge Aruba Instant to mobile via Bluetooth. You are also able to perform a lot of functions remotely such as creating an SSID IP.""It is easy to use, manage, and implement.""Aruba Instant's best feature is the ability to manage it in the cloud.""You don't have to deal with licenses.""The deployment is easy.""When users want to migrate from one location to another, they face no problems with connectivity.""Has many advanced features: Built-in firewall, local radius, application visibility and control, not locked into support agreements."

More Aruba Instant Pros →

"The WOS makes management and troubleshooting easier."

More Avaya Wireless [EOL] Pros →

Cons
"The product should include adaptive Wi-Fi to show a more accurate location.""Juniper Wireless AP can improve by continually improving its reporting and integration with other systems.""Improving third-party integration is key for Juniper Mist's next release.""The solution is expensive.""The pricing should be made cheaper.""There is room for improvement in terms of support and installation.""Juniper Wireless Access Points (AP Series) could improve if the MIST platform had a built-in master key. This would be an advantage.""They should include SD-WAN features to it."

More Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points Cons →

"It is a software characteristic, and it is during the reboot. During the startup of the AP, the AP tells you that you are using the wrong password. However, I have realized that this is not true.""The tool's customer service should improve.""It uses a different portal and has limitations from the customer side as it's not refined for MSP.""Doesn't support enough access points in one cluster.""The support offered by Aruba is slow.""For on-premises, I would rate the scalability a seven out of ten. For on-prem, if I want to integrate two more controls, and I want to extend my network , and add a couple of access points that need to be integrated with my network, I have to do the configurations and all. So that will be each and every time, as and when the users expand, the Wi-Fi solution expands; I need to do the configuration settings on all other controllers.""There is a problem in the preferred portal access points when I'm using the portal.""The tool needs to enhance its security features."

More Aruba Instant Cons →
