Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"You can easily monitor, manage, and cover all your IT equipment.""The artificial intelligence feature is very good.""The solution is pretty generic and easy to use.""The most valuable feature of the solution is Marvis, the AI-driven network management system.""With Mist, every Wednesday they roll out new features.""The solution is stable.""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.""The solution is very secure."

"This product is user-friendly and we can manage it as per the requirements of the user.""The solution is extremely easy to install. You just add them and in a few clicks, they are ready to go.""I like the product's signal continuity and range. We can receive the signal up to 20-30 meters from the wireless antenna.""The connectivity is good.""The setup process is very easy.""The product's initial setup phase is easy.""D-Link Wireless is a tool that is used since it is an easy and user-friendly product.""It is a scalable solution. Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."

More D-Link Wireless Pros →

"a true controller-less approach, where each Access Point is 100% independent from the management system.""Our transaction polling is now way more secure.""When we deployed the new IP that is managed wirelessly in the cloud, it fixed the problems. Now, we don't have any more reports, and everything works fine.""The most valuable feature is the centralized management capability.""The support organization behind this product is extremely professional.""The Client 360 feature provides a comprehensive view of your clients and their activities, including the devices they use. Additionally, a feature called Network 360 offers a 360-degree view of the network, like data usage (in GB), the status of ports and AP, and other details. You can drill down on granular-level drills to gain insights into specific applications and usage patterns like application level and fee, where your data is being wasted or what your clients are doing with the Internet data, what kind of applications they are using, etc.""Ability to assign zero trust policies from the user.""Its configuration and deployment are the most valuable."

Cons
"The price could be better.""They should include SD-WAN features to it.""If you want to do more specific stuff, it's a bit limited.""The product should include adaptive Wi-Fi to show a more accurate location.""Juniper Wireless Access Points (AP Series) could improve if the MIST platform had a built-in master key. This would be an advantage.""I need a bit more time with it before criticizing the features.""Improvement is needed in the user-friendliness of Juniper Mist, particularly in enhancing the interaction with AI features.""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."

More Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points Cons →

"Password restriction: Sometimes we set a password and it uses that password but, after some days/months, the password gets changed and a few laptops still use old the password while a few use the new password. The password restriction option needs to improve.""The solution's performance could be improved.""The solution doesn't have hotspots. Users can't set it up so that visitors can log in via Facebook or social media as they can at, for example, airports. D-Link should include hotspots that offer integration with social media. That way, visitors don't need to be asking people for passwords. They can just use Facebook.""D-Link has some catching up to do in terms of advancing and improving its technology.""Its interface and support system need much improvement. Sometimes, when we use the interface to reset the password and configure SSIDs, or some other changes, the "Save" option does not show and we have to go to some internal setting and then we can "save" the setting. The “Save” option should be in front of or below of the settings.""Sometimes, the solution needs to be restarted.""The performance offered by D-Link Wireless can be a bit problematic at times, owing to which it is an area that can be considered for improvement.""It would definitely help if we had more advanced features for distributing bandwidth."

More D-Link Wireless Cons →

"The certification costs from suppliers are getting out of control, and it's not just Extreme. We have the same problem with Cisco and Huawei.""Having a wizard for customers who are just starting might be helpful.""Need port aggregation on the 2384 switches to take full advantage of ac on the APs. I understand that is on their product road map.""A room for improvement in ExtremeCloud IQ is roaming. My team is facing roaming issues with the solution, particularly when using VoIP over WiFi. For example, VoIP sometimes breaks when you walk around the customer site. In terms of what I'd like to see in the next release of the solution, right now, the inventory for ExtremeCloud IQ is awful. There's no stock, and you must wait a year and a half for new stocks. It's awful.""A mobile app would be awesome.""Pricing is a bit expensive.""Certain features only exist or work in certain versions.""For me, the only issue is the potential delay in the tool statistics updating in real time after making changes."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "We pay maybe 1000 SEK per year, per access point."
  • "Juniper Wireless AP's price is a little more expensive than other solutions, but you get what you pay for."
  • "The pricing is something Juniper Wireless Access Points (AP Series) can work on. The pricing is very high compared to the competition."
  • "The pricing is too high."
  • "The solution is expensive."
  • "I rate Juniper Mist's pricing a ten out of ten since it is expensive."
  • "I rate the pricing an eight out of ten."
  • "The pricing is fair."

  • "D-Link pricing is very competitive when you consider other OEMs."
  • "D-Link Wireless is cheaper than Ruckus or Cisco."
  • "This solution is more affordable than others on the market."
  • "On a scale of one to ten, where one is very cheap and ten is very expensive, I rate the pricing an eight out of ten."
  • "D-Link Wireless' price is the same as Aruba's. You need to pay one-time costs for the product."
  • "The product is affordable."
  • "There is no licensing fee for the solution."
  • "The cost can range from $100 to $400."
  • More D-Link Wireless Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "Although the pricing is a bit high, I consider Aerohive to be well worth the money."
  • "Buy near the end of Q4 in order to get a deal."
  • "Bring the cost down."
  • "I would advise that you be sure to compare apples with apples. Many customers just look at the price per AP and licences, and compare that against other solutions. But, they do not look at the complete picture such as: TCO - how much the equipment will cost you over, say, seven years? Will the customer need to change complete infrastructure when they want to buy the newest hardware? Does support include a lifetime warranty and RMA?"
  • "For example, if you compare Aruba vs Aerohive, you need to check which licences from Aruba you need to match the functionality of Aerohive (usually you need at least three types of licences and a controller with redundancy). The same goes with Cisco, where you need buy additional licences for central management, firewall, spectral analysis, WIPS, PPSK, etc. Aerohive has a very simple model - one licence for all the functionalities - and you can believe that there are many. One licence makes it easy to maintain, scale, renew and you can plan your costs 10 years in advance."
  • "Start small and grow big. You can choose the basic Aerohive Connect free subscription solution and, later, if needed (in terms of functionality) you can upgrade to Aerohive Select."
  • "There are probably cheaper solutions but we invest for stability and performance for the longer haul."
  • "I did a multi-year license. It was a three-year license. It compares well with others in terms of the price. It is about a hundred dollars per year on a three-year scale."
