"The most valuable feature of the solution is Marvis, the AI-driven network management system."

"The Artificial Intelligence on offer is very useful."
"There weren't any scalability issues, the product did what it had to do."
"A good management tool that can be managed through the cloud or firewall."

"We would prefer it if the solution could be less expensive."
"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."
"We have a lot of overlapping wireless networks with a lot of cheap equipment that does not run on any rules or regulations. The best way to improve the wireless network, like in SonicWaves, is to defeat these networks by isolating, preventing them, or overcoming their wireless signal. We try to do that, but I live near an airport, and the AirPortRadar glitches my wireless network every nine seconds."
"Integrating with the firewall and management console was a little complex."
"The product's pricing is high and could be improved."
