This is why it is popular with our customers. It offers good speed and bandwidth.""D-Link is a good product that is quite affordable and I recommend it.""The tool supports new technologies.""The connectivity is good.""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.""The initial setup process was easy."

More D-Link Wireless Pros →

"Extreme is transitioning to 802.11ax facilities running the 2G and the 5G cloud, allowing for higher density in education use cases, and ExtremeCloud IQ provides you with novel ways to manage everything. In the old days, you used to have a controller on-site for your access points, but everything is easier now.""What I like best about ExtremeCloud IQ is its ease of use. Flexibility is another pro of ExtremeCloud IQ. I also find ExtremeCloud IQ feature-rich.""The cloud-based management interface allows us to fully manage all our wireless radios, ensuring consistency and ease of access.""The HiveManager integration with the VPN Gateway is awesome.""Whenever I have a concern, question, or just need a refresher the helpful staff at AeroHive is there to help me. By far, the ]best relationship I have ever had with a vendor.""Everything can be seen from the dashboard.""What's most valuable for me in ExtremeCloud IQ is easy management. It also has centralized administration, so you don't have to go to the customer site to program it. It can be programmed remotely.""The most valuable feature is the centralized management capability."

Cons
"If you want to do more specific stuff, it's a bit limited.""Juniper Wireless Access Points (AP Series) could improve if the MIST platform had a built-in master key. This would be an advantage.""Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points’ support services need improvement.""There is room for improvement in terms of support and installation.""Juniper Wireless AP can improve by continually improving its reporting and integration with other systems.""They should include SD-WAN features to it.""The solution is expensive.""I need a bit more time with it before criticizing the features."

More Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points Cons →

"The support offered by the product needs to be faster with better technical personnel.""D-Link has some catching up to do in terms of advancing and improving its technology.""The cloud managed solution needs improvement, and they should focus on the SD-WAN segment with regard to integration.""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.""The tool's technical support can get difficult sometimes. We got a technician only after complaining for 10-15 days. The tool's technicians need to be made available everywhere.""The stability could be a bit better.""Its interface and support system need much improvement. Sometimes, when we use the interface to reset the password and configure SSIDs, or some other changes, the "Save" option does not show and we have to go to some internal setting and then we can "save" the setting. The “Save” option should be in front of or below of the settings.""Sometimes we configure the SSID with a password but the same AP shows two WiFi connections with the same SSID name (one is protected by a password and another one give access without a password)."

More D-Link Wireless Cons →

"Certain features only exist or work in certain versions.""Need port aggregation on the 2384 switches to take full advantage of ac on the APs. I understand that is on their product road map.""Having a wizard for customers who are just starting might be helpful.""For me, the only issue is the potential delay in the tool statistics updating in real time after making changes.""The managing of switches within this solution could be improved.""I would like to see a remote phone application for monitoring APs when on the road.""I would like to see more security features such as NAC integrated to the solution. This would allow customers to be able to control all other users under one dashboard.""The solution will show us that there are some issues, but when we try to find those issues, we can't see them."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "We pay maybe 1000 SEK per year, per access point."
  • "Juniper Wireless AP's price is a little more expensive than other solutions, but you get what you pay for."
  • "The pricing is something Juniper Wireless Access Points (AP Series) can work on. The pricing is very high compared to the competition."
  • "The pricing is too high."
  • "The solution is expensive."
  • "I rate Juniper Mist's pricing a ten out of ten since it is expensive."
  • "I rate the pricing an eight out of ten."
  • More Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "D-Link pricing is very competitive when you consider other OEMs."
  • "D-Link Wireless is cheaper than Ruckus or Cisco."
  • "This solution is more affordable than others on the market."
  • "On a scale of one to ten, where one is very cheap and ten is very expensive, I rate the pricing an eight out of ten."
  • "D-Link Wireless' price is the same as Aruba's. You need to pay one-time costs for the product."
  • "The product is affordable."
  • "There is no licensing fee for the solution."
  • "The cost can range from $100 to $400."
  • More D-Link Wireless Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "Although the pricing is a bit high, I consider Aerohive to be well worth the money."
  • "Buy near the end of Q4 in order to get a deal."
  • "Bring the cost down."
  • "I would advise that you be sure to compare apples with apples. Many customers just look at the price per AP and licences, and compare that against other solutions. But, they do not look at the complete picture such as: TCO - how much the equipment will cost you over, say, seven years? Will the customer need to change complete infrastructure when they want to buy the newest hardware? Does support include a lifetime warranty and RMA?"
  • "For example, if you compare Aruba vs Aerohive, you need to check which licences from Aruba you need to match the functionality of Aerohive (usually you need at least three types of licences and a controller with redundancy). The same goes with Cisco, where you need buy additional licences for central management, firewall, spectral analysis, WIPS, PPSK, etc. Aerohive has a very simple model - one licence for all the functionalities - and you can believe that there are many. One licence makes it easy to maintain, scale, renew and you can plan your costs 10 years in advance."
  • "Start small and grow big. You can choose the basic Aerohive Connect free subscription solution and, later, if needed (in terms of functionality) you can upgrade to Aerohive Select."
  • "There are probably cheaper solutions but we invest for stability and performance for the longer haul."
  • "I did a multi-year license. It was a three-year license. It compares well with others in terms of the price. It is about a hundred dollars per year on a three-year scale."
