Find out what your peers are saying about HPE Aruba Networking, Cisco, Ruckus and others in Wireless LAN."The solution is pretty generic and easy to use."
"The most useful feature of Juniper Wireless AP is the reporting Marvis."
"With Mist, every Wednesday they roll out new features."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is Marvis, the AI-driven network management system."
"The AI capabilities of Mist Wireless are superior to other OEMs."
"Overall, we've been very pleased with the performance."
"Juniper Mist offers valuable features like comprehensive network insight, granular policy control, fast device setup, strong security, and efficient SSL traffic management."
"The artificial intelligence feature is very good."
"The network security the solution provides is its most valuable aspect."
"Its ability to be cloud-managed is the most valuable feature so if there's a reconfiguration or an issue, we have excellent visibility into the network and we can usually resolve the problem online without having to go onsite."
"The stability of the Cisco Meraki Wireless LAN is very good."
"It is very stable, very resilient, and very robust."
"I really don't have any problems with the stability of the product."
"The emailing of statuses is the most valuable feature."
"It has good security with its Layer 7 protections."
"Its ease of use and flexibility are most valuable. It is cloud-based software."
"The ability to perform dual-band spectrum analysis while conducting the standard WiFi site survey is a tremendous time saver."
"We are satisfied with the way this product is working."
"I don't handle the software that much. I'll do some of the testing with our CTO. It is primarily him and I. He has commented before that he likes the fact that with two licenses, we can set it up so that when we're on a large facility, he can see where I am and I can see where he is. That's for sure is very handy in large venues."
"I have found the most valuable feature is the RF interference and integration capabilities."
"It's easy to plot APs and generate reports."
"I like Ekahau's interface and the reports it can generate."
"The troubleshooting tools are the most valuable feature of the solution."
"Ekahau Site Survey is scalable."
"I need a bit more time with it before criticizing the features."
"The solution is expensive."
"They should include SD-WAN features to it."
"Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points’ support services need improvement."
"The pricing should be made cheaper."
"Improving third-party integration is key for Juniper Mist's next release."
"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 would like to see more cybersecurity. I would like the ability to go in and enhance security. Because WPA2 is becoming obsolete, many devices are now WPA3, but the challenge is that a lot of devices are not yet there. I would like to be able to go in and do monitoring, similar to ASPM. ASPM has the ability to monitor who's joining and who's active. It supports two-step monitoring. The stability of Cisco Meraki Wireless LAN can also be improved."
"In the future, I would like to see IP telephony in Saudi Arabia."
"The commercial version of the solution could be cheaper."
"There needs to be some work done on security because, with time, some viruses may emerge that one may not know about."
"It would be better if they enable full integration with Cisco's cloud-based network in the next release."
"Cisco Meraki Wireless LAN's management tools need enhancement."
"If there are advanced features that you can have enabled, they should allow users access to that in an easier manner."
"The integration options with third-party applications need enhancement."
"We were actually able to recover some access points in some areas that were over saturated. So I I can leave at least two areas where we probably had twice as many access points as we needed to. So we actually redesigned it and pulled some of those access points where I don't know that there was any proper planning done when they were initially deployed. It was before my time, but it just seemed way over saturated, and they were all beaten on each other. So Site wasn't helping. It was probably hurting, and we saved equipment that we could then deploy somewhere else. This can be improved."
"I find the power button hard to access with just one hand."
"The new Sidekick is going to support Wi-Fi 6 and Wi-Fi 6E."
"I wish there were a competitor to keep Ekahau Site Survey's pricing in line, but there's none."
"The support is an area in need of improvement."
"Our CTO was not real happy with their support."
"I wish the solution was better at making different survey modes."
"The report generation has room for improvement and is missing small details."
