Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It's super user-friendly.""The coverage Aruba provides across the physical area is much better. Most probably because of the new technology, the 4x4 antenna, and everything around it. It's just a much better, easier to use, and easier to manage product.""The product is easy to set up, providing value for time since it is very quick.""Its performance is very good. It suits small and medium sites very well.""It's really easy to set up. And, you don't have to pay for the cloud solution. That's really interesting for our clients. And the other thing is, the roaming is also quite good.""The initial setup is easy.""The initial setup is very simple.""The app and the provisioning are the best features of the product. It was really impressive that I was able to just provision it remotely. I didn't have to be on-site with my friend, and we were just able to get everything up and operational. So, the app is great. It sends me notifications when things are down, and it tells me how everything is doing."

Cons
"When there are a lot of people connected, especially during video streaming demonstrations, the connection can get a bit choppy.""I believe there's room for improvement in the validation process, especially for customers facing compliance issues when managing access points from the cloud. It would be beneficial if the access points could also be managed from an on-premises controller. Regarding additional features, customers express interest in enhancing the controller, specifically improving the capability to manage a higher number of access points from the same controller. This feature is crucial for better scalability. Another feature that customers would appreciate is the ability to increase the number of access points. However, the current process for obtaining this permission can be time-consuming, and customers would like to see improvements in this regard.""When I first deployed the solution, I couldn't use a tagged VLAN for the management. It might already have been fixed in a recent firmware upgrade.""It is scalable to a certain degree but not nearly as scalable and robust as your enterprise-grade solutions.""The solution's range could be better.""The limited functionality of the mobile app restricts its use primarily to small and medium-sized setups, making it less suitable for enterprise-level solutions.""It's only suitable for smaller offices. It doesn't scale well.""If anything, its reporting could be improved."

"The solution is expensive.""Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points’ support services need improvement.""Improvement is needed in the user-friendliness of Juniper Mist, particularly in enhancing the interaction with AI features.""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.""Improving third-party integration is key for Juniper Mist's next release.""The pricing is very high in the Indian market.""Juniper Wireless Access Points (AP Series) could improve if the MIST platform had a built-in master key. This would be an advantage."
