Pros

More Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points Pros →

"It is a scalable solution. Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten.""The initial setup process was easy.""This is an affordable product that offers good performance. This is why it is popular with our customers. It offers good speed and bandwidth.""The solution is extremely easy to install. You just add them and in a few clicks, they are ready to go.""I like the product's signal continuity and range. We can receive the signal up to 20-30 meters from the wireless antenna.""The most valuable feature of D-Link Wireless is its durability.""This product is user-friendly and we can manage it as per the requirements of the user.""The product's initial setup phase is easy."

More D-Link Wireless Pros →

That is a great thing about it.""FortiAP's integration using SSID configuration for the input/output makes deploying permission rules easier.""We really don't need to call technical support. Any time we have had to call, they've been great.""The most valuable aspect of Fortinet FortiAP is the support.""I like FortiAP's performance and stability.

Cons
"If you want to do more specific stuff, it's a bit limited.""The price could be better.""They should include SD-WAN features to it.""The pricing is very high in the Indian market.""Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points’ support services need improvement.""I need a bit more time with it before criticizing the features.""It would be helpful to have even stronger security features to help protect against interference from other nearby access points that aren't part of our network.""Improvement is needed in the user-friendliness of Juniper Mist, particularly in enhancing the interaction with AI features."

More Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points Cons →

"The solution's performance could be improved.""Sometimes we configure the SSID with a password but the same AP shows two WiFi connections with the same SSID name (one is protected by a password and another one give access without a password).""The only issue is with the controller visibility of the devices connecting to the network.""The cloud managed solution needs improvement, and they should focus on the SD-WAN segment with regard to integration.""D-Link Wireless’s stability needs improvement.""The support offered by the product needs to be faster with better technical personnel.""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.""It would definitely help if we had more advanced features for distributing bandwidth."

More D-Link Wireless Cons →

"The security integration between the network and firewall has room for improvement.""The product fails to offer default access points to deal with the areas revolving around configurations.""The wireless functionality is not the best.""I would like to have automation capabilities that would help us reduce the configuration steps.""FortiAP could be a little cheaper.""FortiAP is very good in an indoor environment, but we are struggling with the outdoor environment.""Technical support is a pain. Fortinet has to get its act together. If you don't pay for premium service, you will have issues."
