"The AI capabilities of Mist Wireless are superior to other OEMs."
"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."
"In terms of reporting, in terms of all the user reports, it's very rich."
"The simplicity is great."
"The solution is pretty generic and easy to use."
"You can easily monitor, manage, and cover all your IT equipment."
"The most useful feature of Juniper Wireless AP is the reporting Marvis."
"Its flexibility, ease of management via the portal, and the variety of access points are the most valuable features."
"The solution is easy to install."
"The tool's most valuable feature is report generation. Its dashboard helps me a lot with user analytics."
"The solution has worked very well in our campus environment."
"The most amazing part is that their Access Points have the ability to connect to multiple conference devices at different times, and it shows you the very in-depth Wi-Fi analytics through their dashboard."
"The visibility of the site is most useful."
"The dashboard to keep track of 30 or so APs, switches, routers and logs, is invaluable. I liked the UX on this."
"It's simple to manage when there's a problem."
"The solution is user-friendly and it provides a good output that can be measured, and I can describe and pinpoint any inaccuracy shortfalls."
"The most valuable when it comes to this solution for me is the fact that I don't have to go out and do a site survey. With this solution, I can do it all predictably with the usual 90% accuracy."
"The most valuable features of the Ekahau Site Survey for us are the combination of using the tool."
"It is a stable solution."
"We reviewed the maps as a team and determined if any changes needed to be made or if we could just replace APs as they are. We got into this by upgrading our access points to Meraki, and we wanted to make sure that we weren't leaving trouble behind us as we were doing it."
"Ekahau Site Survey is an easy and accurate solution."
"Channel planning, access points' auto position, and the size of the spectrum are valuable to me."
"We are satisfied with the way this product is working."
"The solution is expensive."
"If you want to do more specific stuff, it's a bit limited."
"The pricing is very high in the Indian market."
"There is room for improvement in terms of support and installation."
"The product should include adaptive Wi-Fi to show a more accurate location."
"They should include SD-WAN features to it."
"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."
"It is super expensive for what you get. I just wish it was less expensive."
"We haven't had any issues with the solution. We like the way it works. There isn't anything I can think of that makes me worry that it might be lacking in a certain area."
"When we are using SSID roaming, it is not flexible in terms of which AP it connects to."
"There should be better Spanish-language technical support."
"I would like to see Cisco Meraki improve the accessibility by region level here in Latin America."
"I would like to see integration with sensors."
"The only concern is when the license has expired and it will no longer function, the entire network goes down, without any notification, or warning."
"They're great. If there's anything that they need to change, it is just simplifying the site to which you go to make changes on the admin side."
"The new Sidekick is going to support Wi-Fi 6 and Wi-Fi 6E."
"I wish there were a competitor to keep Ekahau Site Survey's pricing in line, but there's none."
"Lacks an in-app photo app or a way to upload photos while carrying out an active onsite survey."
"I am having problems importing maps to Ekahau Site Survey. Importing is one of the first steps in using the solution and it is getting stuck. The problem could be that our maps are large with many layers."
"We were actually able to recover some access points in some areas that were over saturated. So I I can leave at least two areas where we probably had twice as many access points as we needed to. So we actually redesigned it and pulled some of those access points where I don't know that there was any proper planning done when they were initially deployed. It was before my time, but it just seemed way over saturated, and they were all beaten on each other. So Site wasn't helping. It was probably hurting, and we saved equipment that we could then deploy somewhere else. This can be improved."
"It would be better if it provided clear visibility. It would be better if it accommodated large physical sites like a warehouse with a ceiling height of more than twelve to fifteen feet. In such situations, we were unable to provide better coverage."
"They should improve the iPad application because it's unstable. Also, Ekahau could be better integrated with other vendors."
"Ekahau Site Survey is an expensive solution, and its pricing should be improved."
