"Aruba Instant's best feature is the ability to manage it in the cloud."
"In terms of stability, Aruba Instant is the best on the market."

"The central management of multiple devices is the solution's most valuable aspect."

"The product is easy to configure."
"The solution provides a very good end-user experience."

"With Mist, every Wednesday they roll out new features."
"Overall, we've been very pleased with the performance."
"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 simplicity is great."
"In terms of reporting, in terms of all the user reports, it's very rich."
"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 needs to enhance its security features."
"They should enhance reporting and add more features."
"The network planner could be improved. You should be able to import a floor plan, and the application should suggest the optimal placement of your devices."
"It uses a different portal and has limitations from the customer side as it's not refined for MSP."
"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."
"The only issue we've had is getting equipment supplies. The availability of the APs that I want to use has been an issue. It took almost two months to get them the first time. I've ordered a few more for another client, and they're still on back order. It has been over a month now."
"I think that the next release should offer IP phone security/firewall."
"The product should include adaptive Wi-Fi to show a more accurate location."
"I need a bit more time with it before criticizing the features."
"Juniper Wireless AP can improve by continually improving its reporting and integration with other systems."
"The pricing should be made cheaper."
"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."
"Improvement is needed in the user-friendliness of Juniper Mist, particularly in enhancing the interaction with AI features."
"Juniper Wireless Access Points (AP Series) could improve if the MIST platform had a built-in master key. This would be an advantage."
"The price could be better."
