AI-driven optimization enhances network management and reduces hardware needs
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. Furthermore, the knowledge of the product's capabilities is not understood properly by those selling it, leading to overselling and overquoting.

They have good specs, and the price is lower than competing solutions
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. They could also enhance the reporting capabilities. At the same time, Omada's reporting has improved considerably in the latest version. That was an issue for us, but now it seems okay. More carrier-grade integrations should be available on Omada access points in the future. They could also add a hot spot and maybe a mobile upload solution. I still have issues from time to time when switching access points. I'm still connected to the SSID, but my signal drops when I switch from 5 Ghz to 2.4 Ghz. I'm not switched to the other access point that is closer to me. I should have been switched automatically to the other access point. Occasionally, the handoff doesn't work. I have tried this with WiFi 6, and it worked fine, so I think they may have resolved this issue in the latest versions.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The AI integration with Marvis is very valuable."
"The AI integration with Marvis is very valuable."
"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."
"Juniper WLC Series is a very high-performance device designed for indoor wireless deployment."
"It prevents a large number of unauthorized modifications of access point devices."
"The installation process is very easy."
"The Artificial Intelligence on offer is very useful."
"There weren't any scalability issues, the product did what it had to do."
"We don't have any issues 90 percent of the time. It works fine in most situations. It has been a success story for delivering WiFi services in Romania. Our customers are happy, and I've been satisfied with Omada's performance as an engineer."
"The most valuable feature of TP-Link Auranet EAP is its high performance."
"The most valuable feature of the solution stems from the fact that it is easy to deploy and reliable."
"The solution's most valuable feature is its price."

Cons

"There could be a high level of security."
"The support on offer to other vendors switching - like Aruba or Ruckus - could be improved."
"The solution should create configuration documentation."
"Juniper lacks a network access control agent similar to solutions like Alubakya Path and Cisco ISE."
"The solution could offer more integration with other products."
"The network coverage of Juniper WLC Series and Cisco is different. We need to add additional access points."
"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."
"We would prefer it if the solution could be less expensive."
"TP-Link Auranet EAP is not very efficient, they need to improve it."
"We have some issues with stability. It is not so fast. That is the main problem."
"There should be more remote support for the mobile application."
"Omada needs improvement in the distance it can cover."
"Upgrading the hardware capabilities to newer versions like Wi-Fi 6 or Wi-Fi 7 would be a helpful improvement."
"There is room for wider improvements and additional features to enhance managing capabilities."
"Omada's ordering platform could be improved, though. Some of their distributors are a pain to work with."
"Aruba has better scaling capabilities."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is relatively affordable for enterprise companies."
"The licensing cost is quite high, but considering it's an enterprise solution, the complexity justifies the price."
"Juniper WLC Series is a bit pricey but worth its cost."
"The solution's pricing is reasonable."
"There is a certain amount that needs to be paid towards the licensing charges associated with the product, but though I am not sure, I feel the licenses that we have in our company are for three years."
"On a scale of one to ten for pricing, with one being cheap and ten being expensive, I would rate Omada Access Points at a one for its cost-effectiveness."
"TP-Link is a good price. They have a good price. But technology-wise, it has to be better."
"The price of the solution is not a lot for five people to use it."
"TP-Link provides solutions that are more cost-effective than other well-known brands."
"The price is affordable, and we haven't had any additional costs due to having a limited number of users."
"Its benefit is that it is cost effective."
"The cost is about 500 Brazilian real per access point, with no additional recurring costs."
"We don't have to pay for the license because the solution has no subscription cost."
