"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."
"You can easily monitor, manage, and cover all your IT equipment."
"The AI capabilities of Mist Wireless are superior to other OEMs."
"Overall, we've been very pleased with the performance."
"The solution is pretty generic and easy to use."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is Marvis, the AI-driven network management system."
"The solution is very secure."
"With Mist, every Wednesday they roll out new features."
"APs are very easy to configure to the network once they contact the controller."
"The technical support is very good."
"When support is needed, the Aruba engineers are normally quick to respond to problems."
"It has improved overall IT efficiency across the board."
"The initial setup was very easy and intuitive."
"Denies inter-user traffic: It easily blocks traffic between users."
"This is the second time I've implemented and installed this solution and I think it is outstanding. The support is excellent and so is the hardware. We don't need much support because nothing really goes wrong."
"I have found the most valuable features are the new Wi-Fi six technology and it also integrates with triple-A solutions. It has good bandwidth and virtual control."
"Installation is easy with seamless integration of additional APs."
"Easy to set up and maintain and simple to configure."
"I like that it's cheaper and inexpensive. It's also easy to use."
"Very simple, very basic setup for Ubiquiti Wireless. Its performance in a home or small business setting with fewer access points is fantastic."
"Ubiquiti is easier to install than Mikrotik."
"The most valuable aspect of Ubiquiti is the ease of setup. It's easy to set up, secure, and use. It works on an adoption basis. I can pull the system up, design a network, and pull 20 different Ubiquiti units into it."
"I like the fact that you can set it up like a wireless connection. Previously, we used to connect from one SSID to another. When we started using Ubiquiti, everyone was so happy because even if they moved from one place or another, say from the pantry to a meeting room, they didn't need to connect manually to another SSID. This is one of the features that I really like about it. It is doing a great job. It offers a free controller that you can use to see if the devices are connected or not and if they are up or down."
"Ubiquiti Wireless is very scalable. I don't know that there's a limit to the scalability. We just add more data switches to power more access points. We haven't come across a situation where it can't handle the Ubiquiti equipment."
"The pricing is very high in the Indian market."
"The product should include adaptive Wi-Fi to show a more accurate location."
"They should include SD-WAN features to it."
"The solution is expensive."
"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."
"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."
"There is room for improvement in terms of support and installation."
"The Aruba Central cloud portal needs a lot of work. It is complicated to navigate."
"There needs to be better visibility on the day-to-day monitoring."
"The dashboards that represent the network access control in Aruba Wireless could improve."
"The solution's GUI for configuration could be better."
"Better integration between the controller and the ClearPass portal would be a nice change."
"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 upgrades tend to be buggy and better testing is needed before they are released."
"The solution's documentation could be better organized in an information portal."
"Some of our customers have reported problems with their outdoor WiFi connections."
"Performance could be improved in the solution because when I compare it with Ruckus and other APs, some of those APs are better performing, so you don't have to deploy too many APs to get the same level of Wi-Fi coverage and stability. It's not about how many clients the solution can handle, but it is more about stability and coverage. Another room for improvement in Ubiquiti Wireless, compared to other brands, is that it doesn't do well when used in an office network. It has a limitation on how reliable the AP of the system is."
"The product lacks to offer reliability to users."
"It's hard to get stuff delivered on time."
"We tried to create an access point with built-in voice and sound that we could use in schools, for example. We tried to create something that could play sounds or messages out of the access points. We wanted to, for example, use it as a school bell instead of using other equipment. It didn't work very well. It turns out when you connect to the Ubiquiti Wireless access point, it's not possible to send simple messages (like what is going on in the canteen, or some news update for the school, etc.). We had to use the on-premises version, as the cloud version wouldn't allow for this."
"Ubiquiti isn't as good for larger networks as any of the other wireless solutions. It lacks performance, coverage, and some of the advanced capabilities other solutions have."
"We use different models of the solution but in some cases, the security could improve in the adaptive portal, be a little more robust, and easier to use."
"Better third-party integration would be helpful because often, Ubiquity is a product that customers choose after they already have something else from another vendor like HPE."
