"The installation process is nice and easy."
"There weren't any scalability issues, the product did what it had to do."
"It prevents a large number of unauthorized modifications of access point devices."
"Juniper WLC Series is a very high-performance device designed for indoor wireless deployment."
"The Artificial Intelligence on offer is very useful."
"They should include SD-WAN features to it."
"The price could be better."
"The pricing should be made cheaper."
"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."
"The product should include adaptive Wi-Fi to show a more accurate location."
"Juniper Wireless AP can improve by continually improving its reporting and integration with other systems."
"Improving third-party integration is key for Juniper Mist's next release."
"A lot of the access point commands are in the command line interface, versus being in the GUI."
"I need more access. I only install the hardware and the software part for the client. However, there are no admin privileges, which is an issue. You need to contact them and make a special request."
"I would like to be able to customize Captive Portals."
"Every month Aruba has new firmware. I don't know if it's good or bad but it's not good in terms of production. We can't upgrade our firmware every month, especially an enterprise company, because if we upgrade our firmware based on the latest firmware that Aruba has, that firmware is not stable. They're not 100 percent sure about it."
"We're using the Aruba Sensor, but sometimes the sensor isn't talking to AirWave or the AP. If something happens, we need to receive an email directly from the sensor, but the controller doesn't know. If there's something like the high channel utilization from the sensor we send to the controller, the controller can change the channel because they're all in the same environment."
"There is a lot of information for users about the product, but it needs to be better organized so that solutions are easier to find."
"The stability and management could be improved."
"They could work on energy consumption as this equipment needs a lot of energy."
"The biggest issue was that Juniper stopped developing, so we had to look for another solution."
"The solution should create configuration documentation."
"The support on offer to other vendors switching - like Aruba or Ruckus - could be improved."
"The solution could offer more integration with other products."
"We would prefer it if the solution could be less expensive."
"There could be a high level of security."
"There could be more information from the controller, and it could be easier to work with the controller lights. It's not easy to bring up the upgrades."
