"The most valuable feature of this product is that it is easily deployed."
"The access it grants to wifi is the solution's most valuable feature."
"The installation is very simple. We've limited the security feature, which I found valuable, and that allows two separate networks, one for the company and one for a guest network. During installation, it is very easy at that point to divide it."

"They should include SD-WAN features to it."
"There is room for improvement in terms of support and installation."
"The pricing should be made cheaper."
"Improving third-party integration is key for Juniper Mist's next release."

"The connectivity of the solution can use some improvement."
"They could provide a centralized system to manage switches incorporated into multiple branches."
"The only issue we've had is getting equipment supplies. The availability of the APs that I want to use has been an issue. It took almost two months to get them the first time. I've ordered a few more for another client, and they're still on back order. It has been over a month now."
"The support offered by Aruba is slow."
"The solution should be able to support more users on the access points."
"Aruba Instant's visibility, firewalling, L3 functionality, and DHCP services could all be improved."
"The problem with this radio wireless technology is that it cannot compete in terms of bandwidth with the fiber optics at this moment. That's the biggest weakness."
"The product pricing needs improvement."
"I believe there's room for improvement in the configuration options for point-to-point setups directly from the cloud management interface. Currently, the process feels a bit clunky—you monitor the unit in the cloud but need to make configuration changes by editing a text file, then downloading it back to the unit. This method can be error-prone, as even a small mistake in the text file could disrupt the unit's configuration."
"If they could include some sort of web filtering, in-built antivirus, anti-malware, and data stream scanning in the next release."
"The solution should be scalable, offering better pricing options as we optimize the network for coverage, capacity, and quality"
"The capacity and coverage could be improved."
"Our areas for improvement would be a refresh with the most recent technology available."
"Cambium Networks Wireless LAN should improve its pricing."
