Find out what your peers are saying about HPE Aruba Networking, Cisco, Ruckus and others in Wireless LAN."The most valuable feature of the solution is Marvis, the AI-driven network management system."
"The artificial intelligence feature is very good."
"The solution is pretty generic and easy to use."
"You can easily monitor, manage, and cover all your IT equipment."
"The solution is very secure."
"With Mist, every Wednesday they roll out new features."
"The most valuable feature of Juniper Mist is the Virtual Network Assistant, powered by artificial intelligence."
"The solution is stable."
"We like the centralized configuration and monitoring."
"Aruba Wireless does not have too many distinguishing feature sets. However, tunneling is more flexible in this solution than other solutions, such as Ruckus."
"Initial setup was very straightforward. We set up the switches and APs, then took it from there. "
"Aruba Wireless offers a good user experience."
"Aruba Central is a valuable feature because I can monitor access points remotely, even if I'm not in the office."
"HA: Apps failover without reboot."
"The virtual controller has options for updating and remotely restarting any AP from one controller panel."
"The initial setup was very simple."
"The solution is easy to use and has good integration."
"The most valuable feature of Juniper Ethernet Switches is the public remote configuration option. If you make a mistake in the configuration you can roll it back to the previous configuration automatically after a set time frame increment, such as five or more minutes. In all the other competitors once you press to enter the new configuration is already written in. You cannot roll it back automatically."
"The solution is certainly scalable."
"It is easy to configure, and there are three routing switches."
"It's easy to use."
"We have found the product to be scalable."
"The performance is very good."
"We have multiple cases of the customers trying to upgrade their network from Cisco, Aruba and Huawei to Juniper. They do this basically because they want to modernise their network and have an increased capacity. This shift improves their functionality because the Juniper Ethernet switches are more advanced. We provide them with assistance to configure switches, access points and Wi-Fi."
"The solution is expensive."
"The pricing should be made cheaper."
"They should include SD-WAN features to it."
"There is room for improvement in terms of support and installation."
"I need a bit more time with it before criticizing the features."
"Juniper Wireless Access Points (AP Series) could improve if the MIST platform had a built-in master key. This would be an advantage."
"Enrolling into the tool is a tedious process."
"The pricing is very high in the Indian market."
"MAC authentication against an external Radius server while using 802.1X. This feature will help the L2 devices to authenticate via external Radius servers."
"A lot of the access point commands are in the command line interface, versus being in the GUI."
"For a more senior tool, a local application monitoring related to IoT vendors would be useful."
"Aruba Wireless has room to improve the connection from one AP to another."
"The solution's documentation could be better organized in an information portal."
"Configuration could be made easier with more bandwidth than they offer at the moment."
"They should have more support for implementing Aruba Wireless in Smart Cities and outdoor applications."
"The solution needs to add features and enhance security."
"You need to make a few local configurations to work with the solution. We have faced issues with the tool's stability."
"The technical support from Juniper Ethernet Switches could be better."
"The upgrading of the system should be simplified and made faster."
"Has a steep learning curve."
"I have found the scalability could be improved in the version I was using."
"Juniper Ethernet Switches would be improved by upgrading the uplink port in EX2300 categories service from 10G to 25G."
"Juniper Ethernet Switches' operating systems get corrupted when the power fails. They have to improve this issue. I may have to use a newer version."
"There are multiple areas of improvement in Juniper EX series switches. In terms of speed and pricing, while Juniper provides good quality services, some clients still find the price very high compared to other competitors. Also there is a need for certain features to be enhanced like clear our configuration process which will help to make Juniper switches more stronger. However, there are also multiple challenges including understanding and configuration of certain aspects difficult without assistance. Despite these kinds of challenges, there have been multiple solutions and huge potential of improvement in Juniper."
