Pros
"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 stable.""The most useful feature of Juniper Wireless AP is the reporting Marvis.""In terms of reporting, in terms of all the user reports, it's very rich.""The solution is very secure.""The most valuable feature of Juniper Mist is the Virtual Network Assistant, powered by artificial intelligence.""It provides private network access, helping us protect our company’s devices.""Juniper Mist offers valuable features like comprehensive network insight, granular policy control, fast device setup, strong security, and efficient SSL traffic management."

"The cloud-based management provided by Cambium Networks is particularly valuable to us, as it allows us to efficiently manage Wi-Fi, point-to-point connections, firewalls, and switches across various locations from a centralized platform. This enables us to be proactive in providing support and ensures smooth operations for our clients.""It offers features that are essential for an efficient and high-performance wireless LAN deployment, where capacity, coverage, and quality are optimized, and frequency bands are selected based on the specific needs of the network.""We can scale it if we need to.""The after-sales services are helpful.""It provides good support remotely, and it's very easy to configure.""They all have controllers built in, and we manage them all with a web-based management tool.""The product is user-friendly and helps with cost minimization.""The most valuable features of the solution are its range and stability."

More Cambium Networks Wireless LAN Pros →

"The product’s most valuable feature is the workflow-driven setup for the infrastructure component.""The solution is scalable.""Ubiquiti WLAN's best feature is the free controller system software.""It is similar to the switches, where it is one of those things where it just works. They are very reliable.""The solution is not complex to deploy.""Ubiquiti WLAN has good availability, and it is much cheaper.""The management features are valuable.""The initial setup is easy."

Cons
"The pricing is very high in the Indian market.""Improvement is needed in the user-friendliness of Juniper Mist, particularly in enhancing the interaction with AI features.""The price could be better.""The pricing should be made cheaper.""The solution is expensive.""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 Mist Wireless Access Points’ support services need improvement.""Enrolling into the tool is a tedious process."

More Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points Cons →

"If they could include some sort of web filtering, in-built antivirus, anti-malware, and data stream scanning in the next release.""Our areas for improvement would be a refresh with the most recent technology available.""The capacity and coverage could be improved.""What could be improved in Cambium Networks Wireless LAN is its efficiency in large areas because we noticed that there's a need to increase the APs in large rooms or spaces for the Wi-Fi to be more efficient. Another area for improvement in Cambium Networks Wireless LAN is bandwidth management. This is a feature that Meraki has that allows you to control user bandwidth, so my company has a pilot project to test Meraki Wireless LAN. Bandwidth control is an additional feature I'd like to see in Cambium Networks Wireless LAN as that would make the solution better.""The solution’s technical support could be faster.""The problem with this radio wireless technology is that it cannot compete in terms of bandwidth with the fiber optics at this moment. That's the biggest weakness.""Not a lot of technical engineers are familiar with Cambium Networks Wireless LAN. They are familiar with implementing and using other solutions such as Aruba. Therefore, Cambium Networks needs to be more visible in the marketplace.""There is room for improvement in the pricing model."

More Cambium Networks Wireless LAN Cons →

"I have found they need to work on the stability of the solution.""When they release new products, you should know if there backward compatibility, or do you have to replace the entire forklift, It is useful to understand their strategy and where they are headed.""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 product must provide better warranties.""The product needs to improve the user interface in the migration from old to new versions.""They could enhance their products by integrating cloud access into each device.""It is not a stable solution.""The support needs improvement. The official support is kind of complex. It's not that straightforward compared to Cisco and Aruba."
