"The simplicity is great."
"The most useful feature of Juniper Wireless AP is the reporting Marvis."
"The AI capabilities of Mist Wireless are superior to other OEMs."
"Overall, we've been very pleased with the performance."
"The solution is very secure."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is Marvis, the AI-driven network management system."
"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."
"You can easily monitor, manage, and cover all your IT equipment."
"The solution has been helpful in improving the way our company functions."
"Aruba allowed for the detailed control and management of an entire WiFi network from a single screen backed by a support team with local SEs who work with business partners to ensure the product's success."
"Aruba is an industry leader. The hardware is on par, and its performance is also on par with anybody else. The Aruba brand really only focuses on wireless, so they're not competing their R&D for switching data center products and cloud security. They're really focused on that and their underlying key pieces. They provide a role-based authentication that is native to the controller. A lot of other systems don't do that. They won't provide you the ability to basically have everybody join the network, regardless of whether or not they share the same network space, the SSID, or the wireless LAN. You can segment it down to a specific user role based on any kind of attributes that you like. That's their differentiator. If you need per user, per device, or per port segmentation, you can get that with Aruba. There isn't another vendor who does it."
"With Aruba Instant, we can use the access points independently, allowing us to position them in many places."
"Aruba Wireless is stable and we plan to continue using it in the future."
"Ability for a student or teacher to be able to roam freely from classroom to classroom, no matter the floor, without dropping a signal."
"The solution is well designed so you can easily integrate it in an infrastructure network."
"Overall, it's a very strong solution."
"The most beneficial thing about Ubiquiti is that it is simple to deploy."
"would rate the scalability a nine out of ten. It is very scalable."
"It is a very stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"You can save backups of this controller locally and then I can export it to wherever I want."
"Ubiquiti WLAN has been stable and is easy to install."
"Firstly, I initially purchased the device to build a VPN, and one very valuable feature for me was the ability to create a layer two VPN, which was available on the legacy ER router. It allowed me to expand a subnet to a remote site, which was essential for my setup. Additionally, I appreciated that the CLI of the router was similar to other Juniper products that I was familiar with."
"Ubiquiti provides good connectivity for the end-user, so I think it's stable."
"For me, the ease of configuration is a valuable feature."
"The pricing is very high in the Indian market."
"Juniper Wireless AP can improve by continually improving its reporting and integration with other systems."
"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."
"Improving third-party integration is key for Juniper Mist's next release."
"Enrolling into the tool is a tedious process."
"The price could be better."
"There is room for improvement in terms of support and installation."
"The pricing could always be better."
"The management system would be better if it were more polished, if it had a better interface like, for example, Meraki"
"We have an issue with the integration of Aruba Wireless with our LDAP servers."
"Better integration between the controller and the ClearPass portal would be a nice change."
"We have had issues with the availability of the equipment."
"The Aruba Central cloud portal needs a lot of work. It is complicated to navigate."
"The price could be better. In the next release, I would like to have more analytics features."
"The enterprise controller. I'm planning on getting more information on that."
"The solution is stable but could improve."
"It is not a stable solution."
"The product needs to improve the user interface in the migration from old to new versions."
"There seems to be a drop in service. It's definitely a reliability or stability issue we face."
"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."
"They could enhance their products by integrating cloud access into each device."
"Ubiquiti WLAN is not a cheap solution."
"Switching devices requires reconfiguration from scratch."
