Juniper WLC Series Reviews

We primarily use the solution as a WiFi controller.

The solution is very stable.

There are good monitoring capabilities on offer.

We have found that the solution is quite scalable. 

The installation process is nice and easy.

Its cloud machine has AI and machine learning, and therefore, it can help ensure IT has good monitoring and quicker response time as well as good troubleshooting capabilities.

We would prefer it if the solution could be less expensive.

I've been dealing with the solution for eight years.

We have found the solution to be stable. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. It's very reliable. 

The solution is quite scalable. There are no limitations at all. 

We have five to ten different companies that use the solution and they are all different sizes. 

The customer service is okay. Mostly the client deals with it if they run into issues. 

The installation process is not overly difficult or very complex. It's nice and simple and we found it to be a straightforward process. It only took five minutes to get it up and running. I've very fast to set up.

I've handled the implementation myself. I didn't need a consultant or anyone else to assist me. 

The solution costs a bit too much. We would like it to be less.

Users need to pay a yearly licensing fee.

We are Juniper partners.

I'd rate the solution at a nine out of ten. We've been very pleased with its capabilities so far. 

I would recommend it to others to use. The technology is fantastic.

We primarily use the solution for education customers.

The solution offers a very good open API.

It has excellent programmability.

The Artificial Intelligence on offer is very useful.

The initial setup is very straightforward. It's a pretty user-friendly process.

The stability is very good.

We can scale the solution if we need to.

The technical support is extremely helpful and we've found that the documentation is very extensive.

The support on offer to other vendors switching - like Aruba or Ruckus - could be improved.

I've been using the solution for three years or so. It's been a while. I've used it over the last 12 months as well.

The stability is excellent. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. It's reliable.

The solution offers very good scalability. If a company needs to expand it, they can.

We typically work with medium to large-sized organizations.

We have about ten users on the solution currently.

Technical support is excellent. They are extremely helpful and responsive. We are quite satisfied with their level of attention.

On top of that, they offer very comprehensive documentation. It's helpful for learning about the product and troubleshooting.

The initial setup is very straightforward. It's simple. They make it very user-friendly. It's not overly complex.

The deployment can take one to two weeks on average. It's not too long.

It requires a team of ten or fewer people to handle deployment and maintenance. Typically, we have three engineers per project.

We handled the implementation ourselves. 

We evaluated other solutions, such as Cisco Meraki and Aruba.

We found that Juniper's offering of their API's open interface and Artificial Intelligence were much better. That's why we ended up choosing them instead of other options.

We are a Juniper distributor. I'm a reseller, not a direct end-user or customer.

We use multiple deployment models, including on-premises and the cloud.

I'd recommend the solution. It's a very, very scalable solution and also has very, very good and very powerful programmability and open API interfaces. If a company wants to get the most benefits from the solution, they need to spend some time with the programming engineers to explore the APIs and the interface. It would be a good solution for large enterprises. It could also work for smaller organizations.

I'd rate the solution at a nine out of ten.

I am a coordinator and senior IT specialist and we use the product to provide wireless to our customers. There are about 1,000 people using the product in the company. At the time of deployment, we'd moved to a new location so there was no previous wireless option on site.

I can't say that there's anything valuable in the product now. We've reached end-of-life with it and are now getting an alternative solution. 

The biggest issue was that Juniper stopped developing, so we had to look for another solution. If they were to continue development, I would like to see a decent portal functionality, WPA3, and support. Probably some kind of API as well.

We had some initial issues with stability, but it was solved after some time and there were no further problems. 

There weren't any scalability issues, the product did what it had to do. 

The technical support was fine until they stopped developing the product and then it was bad because there was no support. We have one person in the company responsible for maintenance.

The initial setup was straightforward. 

Deployment of the product took a few months and we used a consultant for that purpose. 
We have recently moved to implementing Aerohive. They are an ongoing business so the product is fully supported and it has the latest technology, and it's a cloud-based solution.

I would rate the Juniper a seven out of 10. 

• Client load balancing
• Multiple SSID support

Provides reliable and effective Wi-Fi to our clients and it is very scalable for high density installations.

Two years. (WLA522 AP)

Deployment in conjunction with WLC and ringmaster caused no issues.

No issues with stability.

No issues with scalability.

Changed solution as the demand for Wi-Fi grew.

Set-up was was in conjunction with third-party vendor and it was fairly straightforward.

High.

As always other options were looked at during the initial phases of the project.

• Suited our needs
• Fairly straightforward to set up 
• Provides a sound Wi-Fi infrastructure

The Scalability it has has to add up to 256 Wireless Access Points for future expansion.

Allows end users to roam the office and be productive wireless without being plugged into an Ethernet cable

Juniper WLC880R - one year

No deployment has issues everything went great

No as long as you upgrade to current software release from Juniper

No as it can handle 256 wireless access points

10 out of 10

10 out of 10 as they stay with you until they fix the problem

No previous solution used.

Straightforward

Through vendor team very professional consultants and very knowledgeable about the product.

I was not part of the choosing of the product.

Do a proof of concept to make sure you like the product then go for it.

• Ranagement Flexibility - RingMaster (8/10)
• Virtualisation of Infrastructure (WLCv case)
• Controllers (9/10)

WLCv was a product at the being of its evolution, so there was room for improvement there.

2 years.

No issues encountered.

No issues encountered.

I've never executed scalability tests, but others did and there were no big issues there.

Very good. They have very experienced engineers on the site I worked on.

The initial setups are pretty straightforward. They have good enough installation user guides.

In-house.

Start with a small implementation and if it suits the needs for the business, then go for larger deployments.
