Cons
"Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points’ support services need improvement.""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.""Enrolling into the tool is a tedious process.""Improving third-party integration is key for Juniper Mist's next release.""Juniper Wireless AP can improve by continually improving its reporting and integration with other systems.""The pricing should be made cheaper.""The product should include adaptive Wi-Fi to show a more accurate location.""The price could be better."

More Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points Cons →

"The user interface of ExtremeWireless could be better. It is not user-friendly.""The product must be provided at a cheaper price.""ExtremeWireless should fix some general bugs and make the user interface more user-friendly.""ExtremeWireless support isn't very good.""The reports could prove in ExtremeWireless. However, we are in the early stages of use and we might be able to configure them better.""The main area for improvement is the company's local visibility.""They could provide different product models. Additionally, there could be a feature to manage devices.""The troubleshooting feature for the cloud version is challenging."

More ExtremeWireless Cons →

"The ability to stack, as well as a unified operating system, would be extremely beneficial.""I would also like to see a more centralized private management console for the series of devices. Most solutions are adopting centralized cloud-based management, but my client base believes cloud solutions are too insecure. You've got a few dozen switches, so it would be nice to have the ability to manage them on a "single pane of glass."""The solution's throughput should be increased because we often get stuck when it comes to IPTV streaming.""The solution could improve by having more integration options.""We have some problems with the performance of our HPE Ethernet Switches because they are old.""The technical support does not match up to the standard of Cisco.""Authentication and other security features are not easily satisfied using the lower-end switches.""The quality of the service needs improvement."
