We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"In terms of reporting, in terms of all the user reports, it's very rich.""Overall, we've been very pleased with the performance.""You can easily monitor, manage, and cover all your IT equipment.""The simplicity is great.""With Mist, every Wednesday they roll out new features.""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.""Juniper Mist offers valuable features like comprehensive network insight, granular policy control, fast device setup, strong security, and efficient SSL traffic management.""The AI capabilities of Mist Wireless are superior to other OEMs."

"The web-based administration is what I find most beneficial.""It is a stable and secure platform.""It offers features that are essential for an efficient and high-performance wireless LAN deployment, where capacity, coverage, and quality are optimized, and frequency bands are selected based on the specific needs of the network.""The product is user-friendly and helps with cost minimization.""The after-sales services are helpful.""What I like best about Cambium Networks Wireless LAN is that it's easy to configure, has no licensing hassle, and is a controller-based solution.""This solution is extremely user-friendly; it is very easy to configure and work with.""We can scale it if we need to."

More Cambium Networks Wireless LAN Pros →

"Its most valuable feature is pricing.""The initial setup is easy.""Ubiquiti WLAN is stable.""You can save backups of this controller locally and then I can export it to wherever I want.""For me, the ease of configuration is a valuable feature.""The solution is scalable.""Anyone can buy the product off the shelf and configure it.""The solution has a lot of great features."

Cons
"Improving third-party integration is key for Juniper Mist's next release.""Juniper Wireless Access Points (AP Series) could improve if the MIST platform had a built-in master key. This would be an advantage.""The pricing is very high in the Indian market.""Enrolling into the tool is a tedious process.""I need a bit more time with it before criticizing the features.""Juniper Wireless AP can improve by continually improving its reporting and integration with other systems.""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.""They should include SD-WAN features to it."

More Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points Cons →

"The problem with this radio wireless technology is that it cannot compete in terms of bandwidth with the fiber optics at this moment. That's the biggest weakness.""There is room for improvement in the pricing model.""Not a lot of technical engineers are familiar with Cambium Networks Wireless LAN. They are familiar with implementing and using other solutions such as Aruba. Therefore, Cambium Networks needs to be more visible in the marketplace.""I believe there's room for improvement in the configuration options for point-to-point setups directly from the cloud management interface. Currently, the process feels a bit clunky—you monitor the unit in the cloud but need to make configuration changes by editing a text file, then downloading it back to the unit. This method can be error-prone, as even a small mistake in the text file could disrupt the unit's configuration.""The solution should be scalable, offering better pricing options as we optimize the network for coverage, capacity, and quality""If they could include some sort of web filtering, in-built antivirus, anti-malware, and data stream scanning in the next release.""What could be improved in Cambium Networks Wireless LAN is its efficiency in large areas because we noticed that there's a need to increase the APs in large rooms or spaces for the Wi-Fi to be more efficient. Another area for improvement in Cambium Networks Wireless LAN is bandwidth management. This is a feature that Meraki has that allows you to control user bandwidth, so my company has a pilot project to test Meraki Wireless LAN. Bandwidth control is an additional feature I'd like to see in Cambium Networks Wireless LAN as that would make the solution better.""The solution’s technical support could be faster."

More Cambium Networks Wireless LAN Cons →

"They could enhance their products by integrating cloud access into each device.""The room for improvement is in the controller levels.""The support needs improvement. The official support is kind of complex. It's not that straightforward compared to Cisco and Aruba.""The solution should include and expand on a central management system.""The product must provide better warranties.""Its scalability, UI, and security features could be better.""It is not a stable solution.""Ubiquiti WLAN would be improved with the addition of individual AP configuration, which would allow for fine-tuning of individual access points and logins."
