A cost-effective cloud controller solution for real-time detection
Customers are increasingly focusing on seamless roaming between Dell Ruckus access points. They want to know how quickly and reliably their devices can switch connections as they move around, minimizing downtime and disruptions. Specifically, they are interested in the frequency and aggressiveness of roaming protocols, ensuring smooth transitions without disconnecting from the network. Overall, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.

Offers visibility and cost benefits
The tool has given us more visibility, but I'm not very technical, so I can't comment on specific features. However, the diagnostic tools for identifying system issues have greatly improved, which we appreciate. We still use Cisco ICE for authentication on the Juniper network, as we did before. We've seen cost benefits with the Juniper WLC Series, which was a key factor in our decision-making during the proof of concept. Besides cost improvements, we've also noticed better resolution of issues and faults in our help desk, thanks to the enhanced features.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"My advice for anybody who is considering this solution is that they do not need to complete a proof of concept."
"It's easy to set up, and I feel it's very secure. I also prefer its reporting feature. The devices are quite good."
"It is a very stable solution."
"The Artificial Intelligence on offer is very useful."
"It is a very, very scalable solution and also has very, very good and very powerful programmability and open API interfaces."
"It provides reliable and effective Wi-Fi to our clients and it is very scalable for high density installations."
"Juniper Wireless is reasonable, with a bit of complexity compared to Alibaba and SQL."
"The AI integration with Marvis is very valuable."
"Juniper WLC Series is a very high-performance device designed for indoor wireless deployment."
 

Cons

"The security needs to be improved because we have had problems with people accessing our network using the VPN."
"Juniper WLC Series has certain shortcomings in traffic monitoring."
"WLCv was a product at the being of its evolution, so there was room for improvement there."
"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."
"In my region, access to the product is very difficult and presents a logistical nightmare. Also, pricing is a big problem and a barrier to entry when selling Juniper against competitors."
"The network coverage of Juniper WLC Series and Cisco is different. We need to add additional access points."
"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 licensing cost is quite high, but considering it's an enterprise solution, the complexity justifies the price."
