"It is a scalable solution."
"We're able to automate as well as manually control as necessary."
"The interface makes it easy to manage."
"I think the IoT integration is the most valuable. I started applying IoT solutions 12 years ago on location-based services. Aruba had implemented this at the time. So I think the integration, particularly into the applications and stuff, is pretty interesting in Meraki."
"It will allow me to integrate another system very quickly, as we continue expanding for our client."
"Cloud management, wireless infrastructure, and implementation are all valuable features."
"This product is user-friendly and we can manage it as per the requirements of the user."
"The tool supports new technologies."
"The product's initial setup phase is easy."
"It's scalable, user friendly, and easy to manage."
"It is a scalable solution. Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"D-Link Wireless is a tool that is used since it is an easy and user-friendly product."
"The most valuable feature of D-Link Wireless is its durability."
"The setup process is very easy."
"The pricing should be made cheaper."
"Juniper Wireless Access Points (AP Series) could improve if the MIST platform had a built-in master key. This would be an advantage."
"Juniper Wireless AP can improve by continually improving its reporting and integration with other systems."
"There is room for improvement in terms of support and installation."
"Improvement is needed in the user-friendliness of Juniper Mist, particularly in enhancing the interaction with AI features."
"The pricing is very high in the Indian market."
"Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points’ support services need improvement."
"I need a bit more time with it before criticizing the features."
"This solution could benefit from a heat mapping ability so that you can tell where the hotspots are, and where the good signals are."
"We face a bottleneck on the gateway while using the solution for large enterprises."
"The error logs need to be much more comprehensive."
"The price could be slightly better, but then again, we negotiate deals every time so the market price isn't really relevant."
"It's performing well, really well. We don't have any issues. We only have issues if there is a lot of rogue APs in the neighborhood and that not Meraki's fault."
"We haven't had any issues with the solution. We like the way it works. There isn't anything I can think of that makes me worry that it might be lacking in a certain area."
"The licensing isn't very customer-centric. They may have improved it, but previously, if you forgot to pay on a certain day, your service would be shut off."
"In the next release, I would like to see the central control plane have the flexibility to control and distribute policies to all LAN networks, balance the traffic, and the performance based on application monitoring."
"D-Link Wireless’s stability needs improvement."
"The support offered by the product needs to be faster with better technical personnel."
"In future, it would also be good to have a switch within D Link that works as well as the Cisco 9200 Switch."
"D-Link has some catching up to do in terms of advancing and improving its technology."
"The only issue is with the controller visibility of the devices connecting to the network."
"The cloud managed solution needs improvement, and they should focus on the SD-WAN segment with regard to integration."
"The stability could be a bit better."
"Password restriction: Sometimes we set a password and it uses that password but, after some days/months, the password gets changed and a few laptops still use old the password while a few use the new password. The password restriction option needs to improve."
