Pros
"It provides private network access, helping us protect our company’s devices.""The artificial intelligence feature is very good.""You can easily monitor, manage, and cover all your IT equipment.""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 solution is stable.""The AI capabilities of Mist Wireless are superior to other OEMs.""The simplicity is great."

"The product's initial setup phase is easy.""The setup process is very easy.""The most valuable feature of D-Link Wireless is its durability.""It's scalable, user friendly, and easy to manage.""The solution is extremely easy to install.

This is why it is popular with our customers. It offers good speed and bandwidth."

"ExtremeWireless is a flexible solution.""ExtremeWireless provides us with enterprise-level authentication methods at an excellent cost. It supports all the latest authentication methods. Another advantage is the built-in DHCP server. We don't need third-party DHCP servers to get the IPF.""ExtremeWireless offers profiles, policies, and tags.""The most valuable feature is the cloud-managed aspect.""The cloud-based management system is valuable.""The stability of the solution has been fine.""The most useful feature is how the product integrates with the Microsoft directory in the cloud.""The technical support from Extreme Networks is perfect."

Cons
"Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points’ support services need improvement.""The product should include adaptive Wi-Fi to show a more accurate location.""The pricing is very high in the Indian market.""The solution is expensive.""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.""The price could be better."

More Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points Cons →

"The only issue is with the controller visibility of the devices connecting to the network.""The performance offered by D-Link Wireless can be a bit problematic at times, owing to which it is an area that can be considered for improvement.""The cloud managed solution needs improvement, and they should focus on the SD-WAN segment with regard to integration.""Its interface and support system need much improvement. Sometimes, when we use the interface to reset the password and configure SSIDs, or some other changes, the "Save" option does not show and we have to go to some internal setting and then we can "save" the setting. The “Save” option should be in front of or below of the settings.""In future, it would also be good to have a switch within D Link that works as well as the Cisco 9200 Switch.""The solution doesn't have hotspots. Users can't set it up so that visitors can log in via Facebook or social media as they can at, for example, airports. D-Link should include hotspots that offer integration with social media. That way, visitors don't need to be asking people for passwords. They can just use Facebook.""D-Link has some catching up to do in terms of advancing and improving its technology.""It would definitely help if we had more advanced features for distributing bandwidth."

More D-Link Wireless Cons →

"ExtremeWireless should fix some general bugs and make the user interface more user-friendly.""The solution should offer better support.""The cost is a little high.""The solution must include integrated IoT solutions on their wireless APs.""The current product line is very high-level and is well suited for enterprise-level organizations, but they need a more cost-effective solution for smaller businesses.""The ExtremeWireless WiNG Access Point on-premise is not as good as the cloud and many of my customers are switching. It is easier for my clients to manage everything from the cloud. I currently use a model of the controller that does not support any cloud functionality.""The solution needs to improve its portfolio.""The onsite controllers are not as good as the cloud controller. I would also like ExtremeWireless to add web filtering on the access point. This feature is available from other vendors but not ExtremeWireless."
