"The simplicity is great."
"The solution is pretty generic and easy to use."
"The AI capabilities of Mist Wireless are superior to other OEMs."
"The most useful feature of Juniper Wireless AP is the reporting Marvis."
"It provides private network access, helping us protect our company’s devices."
"The artificial intelligence feature is very good."
"In terms of reporting, in terms of all the user reports, it's very rich."
"With Mist, every Wednesday they roll out new features."
"The wireless controller and access points are valuable features."
"The most valuable feature of Aruba Wireless is the controller. It is easy to use."
"Installation is relatively easy."
"Aruba Wireless does not have too many distinguishing feature sets. However, tunneling is more flexible in this solution than other solutions, such as Ruckus."
"The most valuable features are the Instant On capabilities, including the controller."
"What I like best about Aruba Wireless is that it doesn't need a controller. The product also has a GUI that's easy to navigate."
"We have three wireless networks: One for employee use, one for guest use, and one for our warehouse use, which uses MAC authentication. These wireless networks just simply work, they do not fail. The IAP-205 devices are very strong with great range. Very durable equipment; it always works."
"The portal has been very helpful for us."
"The range is usually pretty good, which is the most important thing to use because more or less, all wireless access points are the same."
"Ubiquiti Wireless is a reasonably priced, easy to use, stable and reliable product."
"The most valuable features are ease of deployment, ease of use, and the interface."
"Their hardware is very good."
"The UniFi Controller Software provides excellent statistical and monitoring facilities."
"What I found most valuable in Ubiquiti Wireless is that it's priced competitively, compared to other brands available in the market. From a price competitiveness standpoint, it's a product I would recommend. I also find Ubiquiti Wireless quite reliable, at least for me using it as a home access point, it seems to serve its purpose. I also like that with Ubiquiti Wireless, you can build a very modular network, so you could change out your router to use a Ubiquiti router if you want to. The solution also has gateway equipment and all, so I like the modular concept of Ubiquiti Wireless. Another feature I find valuable in the solution is monitoring. It is pretty good. For example, as a home user, I have the unified app on my computer, so I'm able to watch how my APs are performing."
"The most valuable feature of Ubiquiti Wireless is the ease of configuration."
"This is a high-quality solution that allows us to provide wifi access points in challenging areas."
"Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points’ support services need improvement."
"The pricing is very high in the Indian market."
"The solution is expensive."
"I need a bit more time with it before criticizing the features."
"Improving third-party integration is key for Juniper Mist's next release."
"Juniper Wireless AP can improve by continually improving its reporting and integration with other systems."
"There is room for improvement in terms of support and installation."
"If you want to do more specific stuff, it's a bit limited."
"An area for improvement in Aruba Wireless is creating a DMZ. Without Aruba ClearPass, you need to allow guess access directly via the internet, which means you need to implement the security in between, so this is what I'd like Aruba to improve in the product."
"Aruba Wireless can improve the assigning of access points. We have times that the nearest access point is not assigned but one far away. The integration between access points could improve."
"The solution could be improved on the security side."
"The latest design of their APs removes the console port and requires purchasing an expensive proprietary cable just to access the console."
"An area of this product that could use improvement would be the troubleshooting. At times I had to engage Aruba Support which ran some pretty complicated troubleshooting commands. I would not have been able to do with existing CLI documentation."
"Additional detailed reporting for client traffic would be a great addition."
"The coverage, concurrent user life, and visualization are the most valuable features of these solutions."
"Configuration for this solution could be made easier, so people could benefit from being able to configure it within a quicker amount of time."
"The documentation and support provided by the solution areas of concern where improvements are required."
"The solution has very good product lines. However, it feels like some models overlap. For example, a new model is announced after three months, and another new model is announced shortly after. So, the release cycle feels too short, and some features overlap. Overall, the products are very good and reliable."
"I would like to see more cloud features that some of the other competitors such as Cisco Meraki have that are very nice."
"There should be an easier way to contact the support. If we need to do something on it, it will be easier and faster if there is a support number to call. Currently, their support is mostly through email or chat. If there is a hotline that you can call directly, that would be good. It will really help a lot. They should also include more after-sales support. They can maybe also provide more details on what's happening with the network."
"Some of our customers have reported problems with their outdoor WiFi connections."
"We'd like the solution to be more stable and have fewer firmware upgrades."
"I would prefer if the solution offered more integration capabilities."
"Central monitoring is the main functionality that should be included in the product."
