We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.

Pros
"The most useful feature of Juniper Wireless AP is the reporting Marvis.""The solution is very secure.""In terms of reporting, in terms of all the user reports, it's very rich.""With Mist, every Wednesday they roll out new features.""The solution is stable.""Juniper Mist offers valuable features like comprehensive network insight, granular policy control, fast device setup, strong security, and efficient SSL traffic management.""The artificial intelligence feature is very good.""The most valuable feature of Juniper Wireless Access Points (AP Series) is the ability to troubleshoot ports on the network. Additionally, when there is an update on the APs they are able to reboot quickly reducing downtime. Other solutions have a longer downtime when updates are done."

More Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points Pros →

"The most valuable features of Aruba Instant are management and performance.""The access it grants to wifi is the solution's most valuable feature.""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.""In terms of stability, Aruba Instant is the best on the market.""The most valuable feature of this product is that it is easily deployed.""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.""The most valuable feature is that it provides a redundant wireless connection for a client.""The central management of multiple devices is the solution's most valuable aspect."

More Aruba Instant Pros →

"The solution's roaming feature is very nice. When you move to another place it automatically changes the access point. It's one of the most valuable features.""The most valuable thing about Huawei Wireless is that it is one of the cheapest WiFi 6 systems. Its price is very nice. The other WiFi systems cost about 15% more.""That would be more of engineering at this point. I'm from more of the business side. It's pretty much doing the standard installations with portal integrations and integrations with the Mac.""The solution offers very good value for money.""We've found the solution to be quite stable.""The most valuable features of Huawei Wireless are WiFi coverage and ease of use.""The reliability has had a positive impact on our operations.""The best feature of Huawei Wireless is the quick and fast setup."

Cons
"The pricing is very high in the Indian market.""Improving third-party integration is key for Juniper Mist's next release.""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.""The solution is expensive.""The pricing should be made cheaper.""There is room for improvement in terms of support and installation.""They should include SD-WAN features to it."

More Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points Cons →

"The product’s GUI must be improved.""The solution should be able to support more users on the access points.""It would be better if Aruba Instant could provide more security for customers.""It uses a different portal and has limitations from the customer side as it's not refined for MSP.""It is good as it is. If anything, its reporting could be improved.""The tool's support quality has changed since HPE acquired it. It is also impossible to tell the log dates.""Technical support needs improvement. We use the forum for technical support assistance, but it's not enough. If you're talking with a technician, they're in India. They cannot give you the service that you need. Sometimes have problems with some personal services and technical support is not helpful in this area.""For on-premises, I would rate the scalability a seven out of ten. For on-prem, if I want to integrate two more controls, and I want to extend my network , and add a couple of access points that need to be integrated with my network, I have to do the configurations and all. So that will be each and every time, as and when the users expand, the Wi-Fi solution expands; I need to do the configuration settings on all other controllers."

More Aruba Instant Cons →

"Improving the visibility, control offered, and cloud management would all be very helpful. Also how you can monetize the information you get from Wi-Fi controllers should be improved.""The solution should offer more integration with third-party servers and devices.""The security of the solution could be better in the future.""This solution has issues with bugs and instability.""While I am fine with the current licensing price, I would appreciate it to be more cost-effective.""They should actually first test the equipment thoroughly and then launch it. Sometimes, things come out too soon, before they are ready.""I have encountered connectivity issues with the tool. I am not sure if it is due to Wi-Fi inference. I would like the solution to include some marketing analytics features like evaluation of user behavior.""I have already integrated the radius system with Cisco and Huawei products, but it can be further improved to be more user-friendly and easier to use."
