We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Overall, we've been very pleased with the performance.""You can easily monitor, manage, and cover all your IT equipment.""Juniper Mist offers valuable features like comprehensive network insight, granular policy control, fast device setup, strong security, and efficient SSL traffic management.""The solution is pretty generic and easy to use.""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.""It provides private network access, helping us protect our company’s devices.""The solution is stable.""The simplicity is great."

More Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points Pros →

"A good management tool that can be managed through the cloud or firewall.""The platform's most valuable feature is the ability to provide cloud access to configure and manage devices.""Unlike the Cisco solution that needs a dedicated wireless controller outside of a firewall, SonicWall has everything in one box. Fortinet is close to it."

"The solution is scalable.""You can save backups of this controller locally and then I can export it to wherever I want.""Ubiquiti WLAN's best feature is the free controller system software.""The tool's deployment is very easy. The deployment of 15 access points can take a day.""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 product is simple to use in terms of GUI and dashboard.""The solution is not complex to deploy.""There was a time when we were using Cisco switches and attempting to integrate Ubiquiti UniFi switches into our network infrastructure. Eventually, after some effort, we managed to understand the process. Initially, it was challenging to configure the unified console to manage virtual networks alongside internal networks effectively. We had to comprehend how both systems would integrate carefully. It became apparent that maximizing the usage of Cisco switches required a thorough understanding of how UniFi operates at the backend."

Cons
"They should include SD-WAN features to it.""Enrolling into the tool is a tedious process.""Improvement is needed in the user-friendliness of Juniper Mist, particularly in enhancing the interaction with AI features.""The pricing should be made cheaper.""Juniper Wireless AP can improve by continually improving its reporting and integration with other systems.""Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points’ support services need improvement.""There is room for improvement in terms of support and installation.""The product should include adaptive Wi-Fi to show a more accurate location."

More Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points Cons →

"The product's pricing is high and could be improved.""Integrating with the firewall and management console was a little complex.""We have a lot of overlapping wireless networks with a lot of cheap equipment that does not run on any rules or regulations. The best way to improve the wireless network, like in SonicWaves, is to defeat these networks by isolating, preventing them, or overcoming their wireless signal. We try to do that, but I live near an airport, and the AirPortRadar glitches my wireless network every nine seconds."

More SonicWall SonicWave Access Points Cons →

"The product’s bandwidth could be better.""Ubiquiti WLAN only supports 2.4GHz Wi-Fi radio and would be improved by including support for 5GHz.""During the configuration, we cannot get information on the network level from the regular interface.""The solution needs to improve robustness, security, and stability.""The logs are not detailed enough. You can't clearly see what is being blocked in Ubiquiti WLAN, making the troubleshooting process a little bit harder.""There seems to be a drop in service. It's definitely a reliability or stability issue we face.""When I started to upgrade, the controller for Unbuntu was really struggling to start up, however, that has since been solved.""The room for improvement is in the controller levels."
