Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The most useful feature of Juniper Wireless AP is the reporting Marvis.""The AI capabilities of Mist Wireless are superior to other OEMs.""The most valuable feature of the solution is Marvis, the AI-driven network management system.""The most valuable feature of Juniper Mist is the Virtual Network Assistant, powered by artificial intelligence.""With Mist, every Wednesday they roll out new features.""The solution is stable.""In terms of reporting, in terms of all the user reports, it's very rich.""The solution is pretty generic and easy to use."

More Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points Pros →

"Unlike the Cisco solution that needs a dedicated wireless controller outside of a firewall, SonicWall has everything in one box. Fortinet is close to it.""The platform's most valuable feature is the ability to provide cloud access to configure and manage devices.""A good management tool that can be managed through the cloud or firewall."

More SonicWall SonicWave Access Points Pros →

"The product’s most valuable feature is the workflow-driven setup for the infrastructure component.""You can save backups of this controller locally and then I can export it to wherever I want.""Anyone can buy the product off the shelf and configure it.""Ubiquiti WLAN's most valuable features are that it works well in a hybrid environment and isn't heavy on resources.""For me, the ease of configuration is a valuable feature.""The pricing is very competitive and the feature sets are very good. It compares well against more expensive options.""The tool's deployment is very easy. The deployment of 15 access points can take a day.""It is similar to the switches, where it is one of those things where it just works. They are very reliable."

Cons
"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.""Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points’ support services need improvement.""There is room for improvement in terms of support and installation.""Juniper Wireless AP can improve by continually improving its reporting and integration with other systems.""The product should include adaptive Wi-Fi to show a more accurate location.""They should include SD-WAN features to it.""If you want to do more specific stuff, it's a bit limited."

More Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points Cons →

"The product's pricing is high and could be improved.""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."

More SonicWall SonicWave Access Points Cons →

"Largely we're happy with the product, however, the firmware deployments could maybe be managed a little bit differently.""The solution could improve by having a cloud version. A cloud version is the easiest to configure anywhere in the world.""The solution should improve stability.""Ubiquiti lacks troubleshooting tools. For example, there aren't tools that your clients can use to gather input on the AP itself. There's no visibility in the application layer or reporting. It doesn't have a lot of management features.""If they can integrate or release a single platform because, currently, there are two different platforms for switches and routers. So, maintaining just one unified platform, like, for example, unifying the models or brands, and avoiding separate platforms for edge switches, edge routers, and other Ubiquiti products, would simplify the integration and implementation process.""The downside is the interface changes, where they are constantly doing firmware updates.""The support needs improvement. The official support is kind of complex. It's not that straightforward compared to Cisco and Aruba.""There seems to be a drop in service. It's definitely a reliability or stability issue we face."
