Pros
"Juniper Mist offers valuable features like comprehensive network insight, granular policy control, fast device setup, strong security, and efficient SSL traffic management.""Overall, we've been very pleased with the performance.""The most useful feature of Juniper Wireless AP is the reporting Marvis.""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.""The solution is very secure.""The AI capabilities of Mist Wireless are superior to other OEMs.""It provides private network access, helping us protect our company’s devices.""The most valuable feature of Juniper Mist is the Virtual Network Assistant, powered by artificial intelligence."

More Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points Pros →

"Aruba is much better than other vendors like Cisco and NETGEAR in terms of quality, price, and value for money.""I would rate the stability of this solution a ten out of ten.""When an error or alert happens, I receive it in the application. I do not have to be there to know if something is wrong.""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.""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 product is scalable. It has 20 users.""Its performance is very good. It suits small and medium sites very well.""It's super user-friendly."

More Aruba Instant On Access Points Pros →

"Its sturdiness and cost-effectiveness are the most valuable features.""The solution's most valuable feature is its price.""We use Omada Access Points for the network and Wi-Fi.""The initial setup is not complicated.""The pricing is reasonable.""We don't have any issues 90 percent of the time. It works fine in most situations. It has been a success story for delivering WiFi services in Romania. Our customers are happy, and I've been satisfied with Omada's performance as an engineer.""The solution has been dependable and has kept up with modern technology.""The most valuable feature of the solution stems from the fact that it is easy to deploy and reliable."

More Omada Access Points Pros →

Cons
"Improvement is needed in the user-friendliness of Juniper Mist, particularly in enhancing the interaction with AI features.""The product should include adaptive Wi-Fi to show a more accurate location.""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.""Juniper Wireless Access Points (AP Series) could improve if the MIST platform had a built-in master key. This would be an advantage.""The pricing is very high in the Indian market.""I need a bit more time with it before criticizing the features.""Enrolling into the tool is a tedious process.""The pricing should be made cheaper."

More Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points Cons →

"The solution should include higher speed and lesser cost.""When there are a lot of people connected, especially during video streaming demonstrations, the connection can get a bit choppy.""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.""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.""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.""It's only suitable for smaller offices. It doesn't scale well.""The tool is priced high."

More Aruba Instant On Access Points Cons →

"Upgrading the hardware capabilities to newer versions like Wi-Fi 6 or Wi-Fi 7 would be a helpful improvement.""Omada could add some API integrations that would help with our automated solution. We're trying to integrate, and we're having some issues because some of the calls are not there. The API still needs some development.""We have some issues with stability. It is not so fast. That is the main problem.""The solution takes a long time to switch to another connection, which should be improved.""TP-Link Auranet EAP is not very efficient, they need to improve it.""It is less affordable for smaller businesses.""There is room for wider improvements and additional features to enhance managing capabilities.""Omada's ordering platform could be improved, though. Some of their distributors are a pain to work with."

    Say yes to secure Wi-Fi access.

    Pre-built access control lists (ACLs) and built-in firewall in the access points prevent malicious traffic from entering your network – we call it “hassle-free” security.

The free EAP Controller software allows users to manage hundreds of EAPs at multiple sites, all from a single location. The ability to control, adjust and visualize the entire network from any connected PC makes centralized business Wi-Fi management more efficient than ever before. Omada EAPs also feature captive portal and advanced RF management functions, which make them ideal for demanding, high-traffic environments such as campuses, hotels, malls and offices.
