"The most valuable aspect of Fortinet FortiAP is the support.""If we have FortiClient installed on multiple devices, it is seamless to connect with FortiAP.

That is a great thing about it.""The product's initial setup phase was easy, especially with FortiGate or your FortiManager in place.""I like FortiAP's performance and stability. The reporting is also quite good.""We really don't need to call technical support.

Cons
"Juniper Wireless AP can improve by continually improving its reporting and integration with other systems.""The pricing is very high in the Indian market.""If you want to do more specific stuff, it's a bit limited.""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.""Juniper Wireless Access Points (AP Series) could improve if the MIST platform had a built-in master key. This would be an advantage.""Improvement is needed in the user-friendliness of Juniper Mist, particularly in enhancing the interaction with AI features.""Improving third-party integration is key for Juniper Mist's next release.""They should include SD-WAN features to it."

More Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points Cons →

"Technical support is a pain. Fortinet has to get its act together. If you don't pay for premium service, you will have issues.""I would like to have automation capabilities that would help us reduce the configuration steps.""The wireless functionality is not the best.""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.""FortiAP is very good in an indoor environment, but we are struggling with the outdoor environment.""FortiAP could be a little cheaper."

More FortiAP Cons →

"We have some issues with stability. It is not so fast. That is the main problem.""Omada could add some API integrations that would help with our automated solution. We're trying to integrate, and we're having some issues because some of the calls are not there. The API still needs some development.""Upgrading the hardware capabilities to newer versions like Wi-Fi 6 or Wi-Fi 7 would be a helpful improvement.""The solution takes a long time to switch to another connection, which should be improved.""Omada's ordering platform could be improved, though. Some of their distributors are a pain to work with.""The price of the solution is an area requiring improvement since I want the solution to be made available at a cheaper price than its current market price.""There is room for wider improvements and additional features to enhance managing capabilities.""It's better for smaller organizations. This would not work for enterprises. It is not very scalable."
