"In terms of reporting, in terms of all the user reports, it's very rich."
"Overall, we've been very pleased with the performance."

"The most valuable feature of Aruba Instant is security."
"The solution provides a very good end-user experience."
"It is easy to use, manage, and implement."
"Aruba Instant's best feature is the ability to manage it in the cloud."

"The tool's deployment is very easy. The deployment of 15 access points can take a day."
"Its most valuable feature is pricing."
"All of the interfacing is very good."
"I have found Ubiquiti WLAN scalable. We have approximately 200 users using the solution in my organization and do not plan to increase usage."
"The most valuable feature of Ubiquiti WLAN is its stability."
"The product is simple to use in terms of GUI and dashboard."
"It is a very stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The solution is not complex to deploy."
"The pricing should be made cheaper."
"Juniper Wireless Access Points (AP Series) could improve if the MIST platform had a built-in master key. This would be an advantage."
"The product should include adaptive Wi-Fi to show a more accurate location."
"The pricing is very high in the Indian market."
"Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points’ support services need improvement."
"Enrolling into the tool is a tedious process."
"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."
"Improving third-party integration is key for Juniper Mist's next release."
"There is a problem in the preferred portal access points when I'm using the portal."
"They could provide a centralized system to manage switches incorporated into multiple branches."
"There was only ever one case in which an access point failed, but it was reintegrated. The issue was more of a matter of oversight. One part of the network had covered ten access points."
"The connectivity of the solution can use some improvement."
"The management component is difficult to understand and not very user-friendly which increases deployment time."
"Although built-in troubleshooting tools are available, they are not at all intuitive to use. Aruba Instant lacks decent documentation to use for troubleshooting wireless issues (fortunately there aren’t many)."
"Technical support needs improvement. We use the forum for technical support assistance, but it's not enough. If you're talking with a technician, they're in India. They cannot give you the service that you need. Sometimes have problems with some personal services and technical support is not helpful in this area."
"I think that the next release should offer IP phone security/firewall."
"Cloud management is one feature that should be included in the next release. This tool is best suited for small environments, not large and complex ones."
"If they can integrate or release a single platform because, currently, there are two different platforms for switches and routers. So, maintaining just one unified platform, like, for example, unifying the models or brands, and avoiding separate platforms for edge switches, edge routers, and other Ubiquiti products, would simplify the integration and implementation process."
"The statistics you can get on it are a bit limited from what I have seen so far."
"I have never used cloud solutions. My first approach would be something related to the cloud, and backups on the cloud, and maybe an easier way to connect to it because I have an on-premises environment."
"The solution is stable but could improve."
"The solution should improve stability."
"During the configuration, we cannot get information on the network level from the regular interface."
"The strength of the signal from the access points could be improved."
