"I believe the initial setup was straightforward."

More ADTRAN Bluesocket Wireless Pros →

"The switches can even detect cable issues which quite often can be the main cause for a call-out within my business.""Cisco Wireless products are easy to use.""Cisco Wireless is easy to use.""The most valuable feature for us is management of the systems. We can easily access all features.""Cisco Wireless gave us the ability to deploy and seamlessly manage wireless devices at our corporate office and remote locations.""The ability to make different types of networks, such as land networks, is the most valuable part of the solution.""The product offers educational licenses that are priced very reasonably.""This product has a Clean Air Solution, which means it can detect non-WiFi signals. It not only signals but it can also detect that what type of device it is coming from. And if it needs to change the channel in order to avoid that unwanted signal, it can do so and that way the client machine will have better performance."

Cons
"Improvement is needed in the user-friendliness of Juniper Mist, particularly in enhancing the interaction with AI features.""There is room for improvement in terms of support and installation.""Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points’ support services need improvement.""They should include SD-WAN features to it.""The price could be better.""The product should include adaptive Wi-Fi to show a more accurate location.""If you want to do more specific stuff, it's a bit limited.""Improving third-party integration is key for Juniper Mist's next release."

More Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points Cons →

"Support is not really up to par in quickly addressing issues.""Having a better dashboard management system that the client can use to access and control their environment would be a nice addition to the product."

More ADTRAN Bluesocket Wireless Cons →

"They are a pretty expensive option.""Probably more in terms of how much power it's using. Right now it just seems like it doesn't have enough power. Maybe that is all indicated, but says exactly how much power it's using.""In the future, it would be great if the solution had a GPS feature that could have the ability through access points to locate cell phone users inside a local wireless network, for example in a stadium.""The solution could be more stable.""The pricing of Brazil is very expensive. When you look at other options, they are much cheaper.""Cisco Wireless is expensive.""The solution could improve by having more advanced features, such as AI that is able to do diagnosis on the network or detect incorrect configurations and is able to tell you what is the recommended practice. Additionally, it would be a benefit to have smart antennas that are able to track your movement, Wi-Fi 6 support, better transfer rates, low latency, stronger signals that can penetrate thick walls, and zero packet losses.""If they could offer better coverage, we'd be much happier."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "We pay maybe 1000 SEK per year, per access point."
  • "Juniper Wireless AP's price is a little more expensive than other solutions, but you get what you pay for."
  • "The pricing is something Juniper Wireless Access Points (AP Series) can work on. The pricing is very high compared to the competition."
  • "The pricing is too high."
  • "The solution is expensive."
  • "I rate Juniper Mist's pricing a ten out of ten since it is expensive."
  • "I rate the pricing an eight out of ten."
  • "The pricing is fair."
  • More Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "It cost over $30,000 for us for 260 access points."
  • More ADTRAN Bluesocket Wireless Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "It is an expensive solution."
  • "Expensive."
  • "As far as I know Cisco is very competitive, price-wise. Talk to your third-party vendor. It all depends on the company size - how many employees, how big the building is. If it's wireless, and you have only 50 employees but you're using a large building floor, in that case you need many access points. But if you have 50 employees using two or three rooms, then you probably don't need it and it's going to be high density, so there is a different design. So you need to talk to a subject matter expert. Talk to them and design accordingly."
  • "Cisco is more on the expensive side, as compared to Aruba, but I must say Cisco's quality is unmatched, for sure."
  • "I am not a fan of Cisco's software pricing model. Their management software is far too expensive."
  • "The pricing is high. It could be cheaper."
  • "Never pay the full GPL price."
  • "Pricing is a bit on the high side compared to its competitors but we have to consider the support and usages of the solution. Licensing is now RTU and smart licensing. We need three types of licenses. One for each of the: APs, HA, controller."
