Pros
"In terms of reporting, in terms of all the user reports, it's very rich.""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.

You just add them and in a few clicks, they are ready to go.""The most valuable feature of D-Link Wireless is its durability.""This is an affordable product that offers good performance.

Cons
"There is room for improvement in terms of support and installation.""Juniper Wireless Access Points (AP Series) could improve if the MIST platform had a built-in master key. This would be an advantage.""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.""Improving third-party integration is key for Juniper Mist's next release.""The product should include adaptive Wi-Fi to show a more accurate location.""The solution is expensive.""The pricing should be made cheaper.""Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points’ support services need improvement."

More Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points Cons →

"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.""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.""It would definitely help if we had more advanced features for distributing bandwidth.""The support offered by the product needs to be faster with better technical personnel.""The solution's performance could be improved.""Sometimes, the solution needs to be restarted.""D-Link has some catching up to do in terms of advancing and improving its technology.""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."

More D-Link Wireless Cons →

"There could be more information from the controller, and it could be easier to work with the controller lights. It's not easy to bring up the upgrades.""The support on offer to other vendors switching - like Aruba or Ruckus - could be improved.""There could be a high level of security.""The biggest issue was that Juniper stopped developing, so we had to look for another solution.""The solution could offer more integration with other products.""The solution should create configuration documentation.""We would prefer it if the solution could be less expensive."
