We performed a comparison between Cisco Meraki Wireless LAN and iBwave Wi-Fi based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about HPE Aruba Networking, Cisco, Ruckus and others in Wireless LAN."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 most useful feature of Juniper Wireless AP is the reporting Marvis."
"With Mist, every Wednesday they roll out new features."
"The solution is pretty generic and easy to use."
"The most valuable feature of Juniper Mist is the Virtual Network Assistant, powered by artificial intelligence."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is Marvis, the AI-driven network management system."
"Meraki is a decent solution for a small company, and we use it in a pretty typical way. We need Teams and Zoom to work, and we need a high level of security because we want our business to remain confidential."
"This product has allowed us to easily create custom SSIDs for clients and carve out the necessary bandwidth for clients needs."
"It is cloud-based. It has a GUI rather than a command line, and it just works."
"With Cisco products and third-party products, integration of Cisco Meraki Wireless LAN is good."
"If you're trying to identify one of the switches or pinpoint a computer or pinpoint something, you could find it just like that and change the IP address. It's easiest to do it that way."
"It's a stable product."
"Cloud managed wireless LAN product that's stable and scalable. It's an easy to deploy and easy to troubleshoot solution."
"I really don't have any problems with the stability of the product."
"Compared to other tools, iBwave Wi-Fi provides 95% accuracy and generates heatmaps."
"The solution's 3D imaging is amazing."
"The stability and feature set of the application are top notch and can't be matched."
"It can speed up design."
"The 3D Coverage is a good feature that shows the signal propagation in three dimensions."
"I find the high-quality Heatmap generation, multi-floor, and wire mapping features to be most valuable."
"iBwave Wi-Fi's tech support is great. They pick up their phones. I have no complaints."
"I need a bit more time with it before criticizing the features."
"There is room for improvement in terms of support and installation."
"If you want to do more specific stuff, it's a bit limited."
"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."
"The product should include adaptive Wi-Fi to show a more accurate location."
"The price could be better."
"They should include SD-WAN features to it."
"I would like to see more cybersecurity. I would like the ability to go in and enhance security. Because WPA2 is becoming obsolete, many devices are now WPA3, but the challenge is that a lot of devices are not yet there. I would like to be able to go in and do monitoring, similar to ASPM. ASPM has the ability to monitor who's joining and who's active. It supports two-step monitoring. The stability of Cisco Meraki Wireless LAN can also be improved."
"They could also add some more controls for guest access. For example, when you have a captive portal, it would be nice to limit the amount of time users can stay connected per day. Right now, you can only configure the splash frequency. And you can set the connection for one hour, but you have to use the billing feature."
"Unfortunately, we have to deal with European privacy laws and as far as we can see, the solution is not compliant with these. It's why we're not able to continue with Cisco Meraki. They need to become compliant with GDPR laws."
"The cost of the devices and the solution itself could be more competitive."
"The solution’s pricing could be improved."
"In a future release, they should offer a next-generation UTM, where you can manage all items and the network, and have it include a lot of security features like fingerprinting functionality."
"The signal coverage radius could be extended."
"If there are advanced features that you can have enabled, they should allow users access to that in an easier manner."
"iBwave Wi-Fi doesn't have a distributor feed platform."
"The cost of the solution could be improved. It's extraordinarily expensive."
"Areas of improvement would include more functionality in the Mobile App, expanded reporting features, and some shortcut features."
"I would like to be able to see two buildings at the same time so that you can create a campus view."
"It would be good if we could involve a visual while designing the backhaul."
"It would do iBwave well to become more involved with their clients."
"I am currently looking for an alternative due to my reluctance with the reliability of this product."
