"The most useful feature of Juniper Wireless AP is the reporting Marvis."
"In terms of reporting, in terms of all the user reports, it's very rich."

"With Mist, every Wednesday they roll out new features."
"The solution is stable."
"The solution is pretty generic and easy to use."

"I use Fortinet FortiWLM for wireless communication and the internet."

"If you do have a FortiGate Firewall somewhere in the network, you can connect the wireless controller to that... You get 100 percent visibility from a single point... You can see everything that's connected to the FortiGate, whether it's a switch or a wireless AP or a wireless controller or any other Fortinet product."
"The product is a stable solution."
"The most valuable features are central management and the many other features available."
"With Fortinet, there is a feature called Network-In-Control. It's the AP controller that decides what the clients are going to connect to... Even though your phone sees, let's say, two APs, since the wireless controller has visibility into and access across all the APs, it knows the best AP for the client to connect to. This way, the controller makes sure that none of the APs is over-crowded, and the spectrum is used properly."
"This product is easy to use."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"The most valuable feature of TP-Link Auranet EAP is its high performance."

"The solution is expensive."

"The solution should improve user capacity."
"Areas for improvement would be the compatibility with Apple products and cross-platform integration."
"One of the main features that I see as lacking in any of the Fortinet products is the reporting. If you want to have proper, end-to-end reporting, you must purchase the FortiAnalyzer... If Fortinet could offer some better, built-in reporting, that would be a point of improvement."
"This solution should be easier to set up in a production environment."
"In the next release, they could improve by adding a controller-less server, or architecture that is provided in other solutions, such as Aruba. This would be a great benefit for customers."
"The interface could certainly do with some improvement. We have other customers with WiFi networks, and they always use Ubiquiti. With Ubiquiti, it's a much better user interface, and it is much easier to configure."
"Documentation could be improved."
"The initial setup is complex and has room for improvement."
"The solution takes a long time to switch to another connection, which should be improved."
