"The cost is pretty good. It's what draws in the clients."
"The portal has been very helpful for us."

"I think Aruba Wireless' Wi-Fi 6 capability is something that really makes a difference. We used to have bottlenecks. Each user has one laptop on one mobile device, so that equals 40 devices connecting to one AP. The Wi-Fi 5 series couldn't handle the traffic during peak hours, and when I say "peak hours," I mean Monday at 11 a.m. We used to see a lot of packet drops, but we haven't seen that problem at all since we moved to Wi-Fi 6."
"It is easy to install and deploy."
"The solution is very stable."
"It has very flexible features."
"Stability and its ability to handle more devices has been an improvement for our organization."
"The most valuable feature of Fortinet FortiWLC is the overall high quality."

"The solution is expensive."
"There is room for improvement in terms of support and installation."
"I need a bit more time with it before criticizing the features."
"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."
"The pricing could always be better."
"The ceiling grid mount clips have room for improvement. "
"We would like to declare a specific number of devices that an employee or a user can use to access their Wi-Fi."
"Sometimes the configuration is difficult."
"What I would like to have with these kinds of devices is the most enhanced security. For example, if I could apply security from wireless devices, that would be great. I would also like more enhanced reports on user adoption, who is getting what bandwidth."
"Aruba Wireless is a little bit complex to use and operate."
"The speed could be better. I heard that Aruba is trying to shape the speed inside the wireless controller, but that has not been adopted yet. If they put some kind of mechanism inside the wireless controller for the speed such that, "Okay, this many users will have 20 by 20 - 20 in the upload, 20 in the download. Just this many users. And this many users will have that type of speed." I think it would be very good if they actually bring that functionality inside the wireless controller."
"The console is difficult to use. The firewall settings could be improved."
"Fortinet FortiWLC is not simple to configure when compared to other solutions. The design could be better."
"One thing that is lacking is, compared with some other brands, the signal is a bit weaker. Ruckus has much wider signal coverage."
