"The solution is pretty generic and easy to use."
"The solution is stable."
"The simplicity is great."
"Overall, we've been very pleased with the performance."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is Marvis, the AI-driven network management system."
"In terms of reporting, in terms of all the user reports, it's very rich."
"Juniper Mist offers valuable features like comprehensive network insight, granular policy control, fast device setup, strong security, and efficient SSL traffic management."
"The Airwave is the best feature for a single management point for all APs in the environment."
"The 335-AP provides reliability, stability."
"The main features of Aruba Wireless in my country is its popularity, long hardware warranty when compared to other solutions, and it integrates well with our network access control solution."
"Aruba Wireless is easily scaled between a lot of devices and a lot of endpoints. When we decided to use it as our solution, we had planned to use it exactly for its ability to scale."
"The most valuable features of Aruba Wireless are the seamless feature and the concurrent user."
"The cost is pretty good. It's what draws in the clients."
"The coverage, concurrent user life, and visualization are the most valuable features of these solutions."
"Reasonably priced and great for small to medium size organizations."
"Juniper switches are very good with MPLS."
"The most valuable feature is the Spanning Tree Protocol (STP)."
"This solution is impeccable."
"Juniper EX Series is part of the Junos operating system and has a candidate configuration feature, which means changes are not immediately applied. It has a consistent command structure across all platforms and can handle both layer-three routing and layer-two switching. Additionally, the Junos OS offers virtualization options and support for multi-chassis and fabric switching. Overall, the Juniper EX Series is a versatile and powerful solution."
"In terms of performance, Juniper switches have a more user-friendly interface and more features than Cisco products."
"The campus switches and access switches are the most valuable and simple to deploy for Virtual Chassis."
"The ease of management through the command line interface is very good."
"The solution is certainly scalable."
"Juniper Wireless AP can improve by continually improving its reporting and integration with other systems."
"If you want to do more specific stuff, it's a bit limited."
"The solution is expensive."
"There is room for improvement in terms of support and installation."
"Improvement is needed in the user-friendliness of Juniper Mist, particularly in enhancing the interaction with AI features."
"The pricing is very high in the Indian market."
"Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points’ support services need improvement."
"They should include SD-WAN features to it."
"I believe it would benefit from more reporting, other than just a dashboard. It needs some type of report builder so you can have PDFs to show upper management what is going on in the wireless network."
"The solution's GUI for configuration could be better."
"MAC authentication against an external Radius server while using 802.1X. This feature will help the L2 devices to authenticate via external Radius servers."
"The coverage, concurrent user life, and visualization are the most valuable features of these solutions."
"The price could be better. In the next release, I would like to have more analytics features."
"Currently, the stability of the code is the basic underlying problem for us. They had an 8.6 release that came out two weeks ago, but we had to migrate twice because the code wasn't stable. We can't get things to work the same way. Version 8 was a big change for them. They made a change so that it is forced to be a managed hierarchical system. It means that you make changes at the top, and it pushes them downstream. There are a lot of problems with the 8.6 version code. I ran into four bugs in one week and was informed that we should just move onto the next one because all of those fixes have taken place. The feedback loop for fixes is not always really relayed back to you. I don't have a lot of strong things to say about version 8.6. When we had version 6, the controller was pretty much rock solid. We had no problems. We made a heavy investment to migrate a lot of stuff to take advantage of things like WPA3, Wi-Fi 6, and all that kind of stuff, and we haven't been able to turn those features on because we are not confident that they are going to work just yet. So, right now, we're still very much stumbling through the version 8.6 code and just trying to make sure that it is safe before we turn on some of those features. In terms of the marketplace, they are one of the top three leaders. In some respects, one of the things that they focus on is wireless. Therefore, there are some things that should be beyond reproach, as far as I'm concerned. In terms of the stability of the code, there are always going to be bugs, but the core stability of the code needs to be there. When it is not stable, that's a real problem for me because you lose a lot of confidence in the products."
"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."
"The solution's documentation could be better organized in an information portal."
"Some areas of technical support could be better."
"Juniper EX Series Ethernet Switches is not cheap. The tool needs improvement in UI."
"The price is in the intermediate range. It is not overly expensive, but also not cheap. It could stand improvement."
"Juniper Ethernet Switches' tech support is hard to reach and slow."
"We need to start seeing some kind of AI to assist with some of what we really want to accomplish from a policy standpoint to achieve better efficiency."
"We are not very pleased with their performance."
"The price could be a bit lower."
"Its distribution channel and the ease of availability should be improved."
