We performed a comparison between Aruba Instant On Access Points and Juniper WLC Series based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Wireless LAN solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."You can easily monitor, manage, and cover all your IT equipment."
"The most useful feature of Juniper Wireless AP is the reporting Marvis."
"The simplicity is great."
"The artificial intelligence feature is very good."
"The solution is very secure."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is Marvis, the AI-driven network management system."
"The AI capabilities of Mist Wireless are superior to other OEMs."
"It provides private network access, helping us protect our company’s devices."
"The product is scalable. It has 20 users."
"With a variety of switches in their setup, they find that Aruba's online monitoring tools and configuration options for applications effectively manage most of their requirements, all while keeping the process straightforward and user-friendly."
"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 most valuable feature of Aruba Instant On Access Points is they are easy to manage."
"The app and the provisioning are the best features of the product. It was really impressive that I was able to just provision it remotely. I didn't have to be on-site with my friend, and we were just able to get everything up and operational. So, the app is great. It sends me notifications when things are down, and it tells me how everything is doing."
"The configuration is very simple."
"The product is easy to set up, providing value for time since it is very quick."
"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 installation process is very easy."
"The Artificial Intelligence on offer is very useful."
"It's easy to set up, and I feel it's very secure. I also prefer its reporting feature. The devices are quite good."
"Juniper WLC Series is a very high-performance device designed for indoor wireless deployment."
"There weren't any scalability issues, the product did what it had to do."
"The installation process is nice and easy."
"It prevents a large number of unauthorized modifications of access point devices."
"The product should include adaptive Wi-Fi to show a more accurate location."
"Enrolling into the tool is a tedious process."
"If you want to do more specific stuff, it's a bit limited."
"They should include SD-WAN features to it."
"Improvement is needed in the user-friendliness of Juniper Mist, particularly in enhancing the interaction with AI features."
"Juniper Wireless Access Points (AP Series) could improve if the MIST platform had a built-in master key. This would be an advantage."
"The price could be better."
"The solution is expensive."
"The tool's pricing is not good."
"The product's machine or equipment can cater to around 20 connections and cannot go beyond 50 simultaneous connections, because of which I think the tool's scalability is limited."
"I would like to see a feature that blocks, increases, or decreases bandwidth capacity for devices."
"It is scalable to a certain degree but not nearly as scalable and robust as your enterprise-grade solutions."
"I believe there's room for improvement in the validation process, especially for customers facing compliance issues when managing access points from the cloud. It would be beneficial if the access points could also be managed from an on-premises controller. Regarding additional features, customers express interest in enhancing the controller, specifically improving the capability to manage a higher number of access points from the same controller. This feature is crucial for better scalability. Another feature that customers would appreciate is the ability to increase the number of access points. However, the current process for obtaining this permission can be time-consuming, and customers would like to see improvements in this regard."
"If anything, its reporting could be improved."
"The solution's range could be better."
"When there are a lot of people connected, especially during video streaming demonstrations, the connection can get a bit choppy."
"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."
"There could be a high level of security."
"We would prefer it if the solution could be less expensive."
"The solution could offer more integration with other products."
"The solution should create configuration documentation."
"The support on offer to other vendors switching - like Aruba or Ruckus - could be improved."
"The biggest issue was that Juniper stopped developing, so we had to look for another solution."
