"In terms of reporting, in terms of all the user reports, it's very rich."
"You can easily monitor, manage, and cover all your IT equipment."
"The solution is very secure."
"The most valuable feature of Juniper Mist is the Virtual Network Assistant, powered by artificial intelligence."
"It provides private network access, helping us protect our company’s devices."
"You can handle all of the access points at once virtually instead of manually handling each one. You're able to populate all of the information to all of the access points through the virtual controller as well. It transforms everything it a single access point, which simplifies things."
"The coverage of the solution is great."
"If you don't need heavy-duty filtering and things like that, it's a cheap solution. And, you have central management, and it works."
"The tool's most valuable feature is Captive Portal, which we employ for our guest network. It enables us to create a separate virtual subnet for guests, ensuring their network traffic remains isolated from our office network. Another valuable feature is its role-based access control. This functionality allows us to assign different access privileges to users based on their roles within the organization."
"What I like best about Aruba Instant is that it serves as a virtual controller, so you don't need to buy other equipment to manage all your access points. I also like that the solution is easy to use."
"The access it grants to wifi is the solution's most valuable feature."
"In terms of stability, Aruba Instant is the best on the market."
"I like that the solution is not complex."
"The coverage Aruba provides across the physical area is much better. Most probably because of the new technology, the 4x4 antenna, and everything around it. It's just a much better, easier to use, and easier to manage product."
"Aruba is much better than other vendors like Cisco and NETGEAR in terms of quality, price, and value for money."
"I would rate the stability of this solution a ten out of ten."
"The initial setup is easy."
"Regarding access points, the customer typically considers low-cost plans, and Ruckus Unleashed Access Points are commonly used. These access points are managed through the Microsoft console and can be accessed either with or without ports. The management is done through a controller. The main benefits customers see include cost-effectiveness, especially for those with budget constraints. Aruba, in particular, provides a good user experience. Some customers might choose Huawei, but enterprise access points are also considered. Additionally, the unified access point capabilities are valuable, allowing management from the same account. However, there is a limitation of twenty-five access points, and if a customer requires more, they need to create another site or account. If the customer exceeds twenty-five access points, they need to generate another site or virtual business to manage additional access points, as the external number is limited to twenty-five."
"The mobile app is good. We have many things that are connected through mobile. Most users use mobile to connect to the Wi-Fi."
"The initial setup is very simple."
"When an error or alert happens, I receive it in the application. I do not have to be there to know if something is wrong."
"The pricing should be made cheaper."
"The pricing is very high in the Indian market."
"Enrolling into the tool is a tedious process."
"They should include SD-WAN features to it."
"Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points’ support services need improvement."
"I need a bit more time with it before criticizing the features."
"If you want to do more specific stuff, it's a bit limited."
"The price could be better."
"Aruba Instant can improve by increasing the gigabit range of the switch or by adding additional management features and tools. It can be helpful."
"The tool's customer service should improve."
"The product's high cost is an area where improvements are required."
"I think they're missing roadmaps to the partners and the customers. They're releasing the products, but there are no quick updates to the partners and the customers."
"The network planner could be improved. You should be able to import a floor plan, and the application should suggest the optimal placement of your devices."
"Aruba Instant should not have a limit on users for future releases."
"The solution should be able to support more users on the access points."
"I believe there's room for improvement in monitoring, especially when troubleshooting issues. Currently, there's limited intelligence around monitoring. It needs to improve stability and scalability."
"The tool is priced high."
"It is scalable to a certain degree but not nearly as scalable and robust as your enterprise-grade solutions."
"The solution should include higher speed and lesser cost."
"The solution's range could be better."
"While it is mostly scalable, there are some limitations."
"It is suitable for smaller organizations, but it may not be the best choice for large enterprises."
"The limited functionality of the mobile app restricts its use primarily to small and medium-sized setups, making it less suitable for enterprise-level solutions."
"The solution can be more integrated with other brands."
