"The solution is pretty generic and easy to use."

"You can easily monitor, manage, and cover all your IT equipment."
"The central management of multiple devices is the solution's most valuable aspect."
"Has many advanced features: Built-in firewall, local radius, application visibility and control, not locked into support agreements."
"The most valuable feature of this product is that it is easily deployed."
"The deployment is easy."
"The coverage of the solution is great."
"I find network management features related to monitoring Wi-Fi usage and visited sites particularly valuable. Content filtering is also important to prevent access to malicious or inappropriate websites. It is reliable and simple."
"It's a good solution for small businesses because it's easy to figure out. It's simple to set Aruba up in any configuration, like link aggregation or static loads. It's suitable for less complicated configurations, whereas Cisco devices are bigger and more difficult to implement."
"The stability of the solution is very good."
"The solution has fast deployment and easy setup. There is no security PIN for this account."
"The solution is scalable."
"The most valuable feature of Aruba Instant On Access Points is they are easy to manage."
"I would rate the stability of this solution a ten out of ten."
"The coverage Aruba provides across the physical area is much better. Most probably because of the new technology, the 4x4 antenna, and everything around it. It's just a much better, easier to use, and easier to manage product."
"The initial setup is very simple."
"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."
"It's really easy to set up. And, you don't have to pay for the cloud solution. That's really interesting for our clients. And the other thing is, the roaming is also quite good."
"Improving third-party integration is key for Juniper Mist's next release."
"They should include SD-WAN features to it."
"If you want to do more specific stuff, it's a bit limited."
"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."
"Juniper Wireless Access Points (AP Series) could improve if the MIST platform had a built-in master key. This would be an advantage."
"The solution is expensive."
"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."
"In a corporate environment or a larger network, where more advanced filtering or MAC-based filtering is needed, I don't think the IAPs would be sufficient."
"The tool's customer service should improve."
"The meshing could use improvement but aside from that nothing else really needs improvement."
"They could provide a centralized system to manage switches incorporated into multiple branches."
"The tool needs to enhance its security features."
"For on-premises, I would rate the scalability a seven out of ten. For on-prem, if I want to integrate two more controls, and I want to extend my network , and add a couple of access points that need to be integrated with my network, I have to do the configurations and all. So that will be each and every time, as and when the users expand, the Wi-Fi solution expands; I need to do the configuration settings on all other controllers."
"If you need to access the master access point the integration between the two becomes quite expensive."
"It is good as it is. If anything, its reporting could be improved."
"The solution's range could be better."
"I would like to see a feature that blocks, increases, or decreases bandwidth capacity for devices."
"When I first deployed the solution, I couldn't use a tagged VLAN for the management. It might already have been fixed in a recent firmware upgrade."
"It's only suitable for smaller offices. It doesn't scale well."
"It is suitable for smaller organizations, but it may not be the best choice for large enterprises."
"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."
"It is scalable to a certain degree but not nearly as scalable and robust as your enterprise-grade solutions."
"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."
