"The feature I found most valuable to customers in Aruba Wireless is not a technical feature. It's more of its image, trademark, or brand as the product is very well-known in the market, and that's a good point to offer to customers. My customers just ask about the basic features of the product, and usually, when asking about Aruba products, customers don't pay too much attention to any specific feature as long as the product is solid and sure, and that you can change or modify it, as what you can get from Aruba Wireless."
"It is a stable and secure platform."
"The most valuable features of the solution are its range and stability."
"This solution is extremely user-friendly; it is very easy to configure and work with."

"The product is user-friendly and helps with cost minimization."
"We can scale it if we need to."
"The after-sales services are helpful."
"It offers features that are essential for an efficient and high-performance wireless LAN deployment, where capacity, coverage, and quality are optimized, and frequency bands are selected based on the specific needs of the network."
"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."
"They should include SD-WAN features to it."
"Enrolling into the tool is a tedious process."
"Improving third-party integration is key for Juniper Mist's next release."
"The solution is expensive."
"If you want to do more specific stuff, it's a bit limited."
"The pricing should be made cheaper."
"Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points’ support services need improvement."

"The urgent areas of improvement would be customer support, better tuned default settings, and documentation."
"Aruba Wireless is a little bit complex to use and operate."
"The Help option within the GUI needs to be improved."
"Aruba Wireless could improve the dashboard. It is not straightforward or intuitive to use and could be more user-friendly. For IT employees the dashboards are fine but when it comes to the end-user it is difficult. The Mobility Controller dashboard is not meant for non-IT employees."
"Every month Aruba has new firmware. I don't know if it's good or bad but it's not good in terms of production. We can't upgrade our firmware every month, especially an enterprise company, because if we upgrade our firmware based on the latest firmware that Aruba has, that firmware is not stable. They're not 100 percent sure about it."
"Additional detailed reporting for client traffic would be a great addition."
"They could work on energy consumption as this equipment needs a lot of energy."
"The platform's cost needs improvement."
"The capacity and coverage could be improved."
"If they could include some sort of web filtering, in-built antivirus, anti-malware, and data stream scanning in the next release."
"What could be improved in Cambium Networks Wireless LAN is its efficiency in large areas because we noticed that there's a need to increase the APs in large rooms or spaces for the Wi-Fi to be more efficient. Another area for improvement in Cambium Networks Wireless LAN is bandwidth management. This is a feature that Meraki has that allows you to control user bandwidth, so my company has a pilot project to test Meraki Wireless LAN. Bandwidth control is an additional feature I'd like to see in Cambium Networks Wireless LAN as that would make the solution better."
"The product pricing needs improvement."
"We would like this product to have more information data sheets available. At present we cannot easily access details around the full capability of a piece of equipment."
"There is room for improvement in the pricing model."
"The problem with this radio wireless technology is that it cannot compete in terms of bandwidth with the fiber optics at this moment. That's the biggest weakness."
