"One feature that differentiates Alcatel-Lucent OmniAccess Stellar from some other vendors is the fact that on-premise OmniVista licenses are perpetual."
"There is a definite ROI with this product. This product creates a baseline of technology that will be a means to grow from five to ten years from now. By using this solution, it is an investment on the installation of that baseline."
"I have worked with different solutions in the past and switched to Alcatel-Lucent OmniAccess Stellar because of its quick installation time. It requires no additional preparation. The product is highly stable. I rate it a nine out of ten. The support of this solution is great. The timeliness of their responses is crucial for me. When I raise an issue, I can count on receiving a prompt reply, eliminating the need for extensive online searches or phone calls."
"The solution allows you to see the SNMP packets, the DPI packets, and the SNMP server."
"Express in default configuration mode with first turn-on is easy to set up and deploy from a medium installation standpoint."
"The features aren't much different than those in Aruba, but deployment is easier to configure and the pricing is better."
"The initial setup is very simple."
"The configuration is very simple."
"The solution is scalable."
"Its performance is very good. It suits small and medium sites very well."
"The solution has fast deployment and easy setup. There is no security PIN for this account."
"I would rate the stability of this solution a ten out of ten."
"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 product is scalable. It has 20 users."
"The price could be better."
"Enrolling into the tool is a tedious process."
"There is room for improvement in terms of support and installation."
"The solution is expensive."
"If you want to do more specific stuff, it's a bit limited."
"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."
"Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points’ support services need improvement."
"I would prefer to have the integrated heat map feature provided by the basic controller in the Solution instead of purchasing an external one. Accessing this capability directly within the controller's access point would be convenient."
"If the customers plan to go on the cloud side, they need encryption and daily communications from a security perspective."
"Alcatel-Lucent OmniAccess Stellar's radio management side could be improved."
"The current implementation of our Guest Access network in isolation for Express mode is very complicated in comparison with leading market solutions."
"Better integration with third-party systems is what our customers are expecting in the future."
"It needs to be faster in order to process and transmit bigger packets."
"There are occasional OS bugs."
"It is not possible to integrate Alcatel-Lucent OmniAccess Stellar with third-party software like Opera, a property management system (PMS)."
"If there's a way to get a floor map of our office space so we can place the access points on a map to be able to see what's what, where everything is going, where the most traffic is being connected, that would be a nice feature."
"While it is mostly scalable, there are some limitations."
"Software-wise, I would like to have a way of moving APs from site to site and wish there would be a way to add more APs to one site. I know the limit is 25 APs per site and I wish there were more."
"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."
"The tool is priced high."
"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."
"It is suitable for smaller organizations, but it may not be the best choice for large enterprises."
"The solution can be more integrated with other brands."
