"The most valuable feature of Juniper Mist is the Virtual Network Assistant, powered by artificial intelligence."
"The AI capabilities of Mist Wireless are superior to other OEMs."
"It provides private network access, helping us protect our company’s devices."
"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."
"Has many advanced features: Built-in firewall, local radius, application visibility and control, not locked into support agreements."
"The central management of multiple devices is the solution's most valuable aspect."
"It's a good solution for small businesses because it's easy to figure out. It's simple to set Aruba up in any configuration, like link aggregation or static loads. It's suitable for less complicated configurations, whereas Cisco devices are bigger and more difficult to implement."
"This is a very solid product. It is very powerful."
"The features I have found most valuable is that the solution creates a guest portal for guest networks, and setting up SSID authentication to the regular server."
"What I like best about Aruba Instant is that it serves as a virtual controller, so you don't need to buy other equipment to manage all your access points. I also like that the solution is easy to use."
"Aruba Instant is easy to manage."
"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."
"The solution's most valuable feature is its price."
"When this solution is set up, it is solid. It offers fast deployment."
"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."
"This product is easy to use."
"Omada Access Points are very good in terms of wired technologies and wired connectivity."
"Its sturdiness and cost-effectiveness are the most valuable features."
"We use Omada Access Points for the network and Wi-Fi."

"The restart time should be improved."
"The product's high cost is an area where improvements are required."
"The connectivity of the solution can use some improvement."

"The reach of the solution could be improved. It could be a bit stronger."
"The support offered by Aruba is slow."
"We have some issues with stability. It is not so fast. That is the main problem."
"Omada's ordering platform could be improved, though. Some of their distributors are a pain to work with."
"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."
"There should be more remote support for the mobile application."
"There is room for wider improvements and additional features to enhance managing capabilities."
"TP-Link Auranet EAP is not very efficient, they need to improve it."
