We performed a comparison between Aruba Instant On Access Points and Ruckus Wireless based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."The most valuable feature of Juniper Mist is the Virtual Network Assistant, powered by artificial intelligence."
"The simplicity is great."
"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."
"It provides private network access, helping us protect our company’s devices."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is Marvis, the AI-driven network management system."
"The solution is stable."
"In terms of reporting, in terms of all the user reports, it's very rich."
"With Mist, every Wednesday they roll out new features."
"With a variety of switches in their setup, they find that Aruba's online monitoring tools and configuration options for applications effectively manage most of their requirements, all while keeping the process straightforward and user-friendly."
"The solution is scalable."
"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."
"Regarding access points, the customer typically considers low-cost plans, and Ruckus Unleashed Access Points are commonly used. These access points are managed through the Microsoft console and can be accessed either with or without ports. The management is done through a controller. The main benefits customers see include cost-effectiveness, especially for those with budget constraints. Aruba, in particular, provides a good user experience. Some customers might choose Huawei, but enterprise access points are also considered. Additionally, the unified access point capabilities are valuable, allowing management from the same account. However, there is a limitation of twenty-five access points, and if a customer requires more, they need to create another site or account. If the customer exceeds twenty-five access points, they need to generate another site or virtual business to manage additional access points, as the external number is limited to twenty-five."
"The solution has fast deployment and easy setup. There is no security PIN for this account."
"The configuration is very simple."
"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."
"I really like Ruckus Unleashed, which is the feature that provides a quick solution for me to control the APs."
"It's easy to install, and the management is flexible."
"Once we got it set up and configured we've had little issues and it's been relatively stable. We use it across all seven of our offices and they all have the exact same wifi setup so when I go into any office I can get on the network and access resources."
"Its high capacity is the most valuable. It is also very stable. It is way more stable than other platforms."
"The solution manages and updates itself."
"The most valuable feature is that Ruckus offers better coverage."
"Our IT staff can quickly issue guest passes for vendors and the instructions are very straightforward, requiring very little effort to get connected."
"The setup is very straightforward."
"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 AP can improve by continually improving its reporting and integration with other systems."
"The price could be better."
"The product should include adaptive Wi-Fi to show a more accurate location."
"The pricing should be made cheaper."
"There is room for improvement in terms of support and installation."
"I need a bit more time with it before criticizing the features."
"The pricing is very high in the Indian market."
"The product's machine or equipment can cater to around 20 connections and cannot go beyond 50 simultaneous connections, because of which I think the tool's scalability is limited."
"It's only suitable for smaller offices. It doesn't scale well."
"The tool's pricing is not good."
"I would like to see a feature that blocks, increases, or decreases bandwidth capacity for devices."
"Software-wise, I would like to have a way of moving APs from site to site and wish there would be a way to add more APs to one site. I know the limit is 25 APs per site and I wish there were more."
"If there's a way to get a floor map of our office space so we can place the access points on a map to be able to see what's what, where everything is going, where the most traffic is being connected, that would be a nice feature."
"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."
"When there are a lot of people connected, especially during video streaming demonstrations, the connection can get a bit choppy."
"Could be more user friendly."
"One complaint that we have is the lack of cloud-based management."
"The product is very expensive."
"It would be nice if there was a way to compare access points and hardware so you can always get the same level of performance."
"I recommend enhancing flexibility for administrators within the Partner Domain."
"I would like the option to not have my logs deleted when I shut down the device so that I will be able to troubleshoot."
"There is some strain with Ruckus because of various buyouts involving the company used for data centers and the cluster."
"Ruckus should have an option to migrate existing licenses from an old controller to a new purchase; presently, this is not possible."
