Find out in this report how the two Wireless LAN solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI.
"In terms of reporting, in terms of all the user reports, it's very rich."
"You can easily monitor, manage, and cover all your IT equipment."
"Overall, we've been very pleased with the performance."
"It provides private network access, helping us protect our company’s devices."
"With Mist, every Wednesday they roll out new features."
"The solution is stable."
"Juniper Mist offers valuable features like comprehensive network insight, granular policy control, fast device setup, strong security, and efficient SSL traffic management."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is Marvis, the AI-driven network management system."
"The most valuable aspect of Fortinet FortiAP is the support."
"The product's initial setup phase was easy, especially with FortiGate or your FortiManager in place."
"The pricing is reasonable for what it offers."
"We really don't need to call technical support. Any time we have had to call, they've been great."
"I like FortiAP's performance and stability. The reporting is also quite good."
"If we have FortiClient installed on multiple devices, it is seamless to connect with FortiAP. It supports passwordless authentication as well. That is a great thing about it."
"FortiAP's integration using SSID configuration for the input/output makes deploying permission rules easier."
"Anyone can buy the product off the shelf and configure it."
"Ubiquiti WLAN has been stable and is easy to install."
"The most valuable feature is the level of security on the Wi-Fi network."
"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."
"The initial setup is easy."
"Ubiquiti WLAN is a reliable, stable, and robust solution."
"Ubiquiti WLAN's most valuable features are that it works well in a hybrid environment and isn't heavy on resources."
"Ubiquiti WLAN's best feature is the free controller system software."
"Juniper Wireless Access Points (AP Series) could improve if the MIST platform had a built-in master key. This would be an advantage."
"Juniper Wireless AP can improve by continually improving its reporting and integration with other systems."
"The pricing should be made cheaper."
"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."
"The pricing is very high in the Indian market."
"There is room for improvement in terms of support and installation."
"FortiAP could be a little cheaper."
"I would like to have automation capabilities that would help us reduce the configuration steps."
"The product fails to offer default access points to deal with the areas revolving around configurations."
"The security integration between the network and firewall has room for improvement."
"Technical support is a pain. Fortinet has to get its act together. If you don't pay for premium service, you will have issues."
"The wireless functionality is not the best."
"FortiAP is very good in an indoor environment, but we are struggling with the outdoor environment."
"The solution should support a larger bandwidth or distance between the access points and the main stations."
"Its scalability, UI, and security features could be better."
"I have found they need to work on the stability of the solution."
"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 coverage could be increased."
"The support needs improvement. The official support is kind of complex. It's not that straightforward compared to Cisco and Aruba."
"Ubiquiti WLAN needs to expand the models with external antennas. It needs to improve stability."
"Ubiquiti WLAN is not a cheap solution."
