We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.

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."

"Unlike the Cisco solution that needs a dedicated wireless controller outside of a firewall, SonicWall has everything in one box. Fortinet is close to it.""A good management tool that can be managed through the cloud or firewall.""The platform's most valuable feature is the ability to provide cloud access to configure and manage devices."

Cons
"The pricing is very high in the Indian market.""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.""I need a bit more time with it before criticizing the features.""If you want to do more specific stuff, it's a bit limited.""Improvement is needed in the user-friendliness of Juniper Mist, particularly in enhancing the interaction with AI features.""Juniper Wireless AP can improve by continually improving its reporting and integration with other systems.""Improving third-party integration is key for Juniper Mist's next release.""There is room for improvement in terms of support and installation."

"Integrating with the firewall and management console was a little complex.""The product's pricing is high and could be improved.""We have a lot of overlapping wireless networks with a lot of cheap equipment that does not run on any rules or regulations. The best way to improve the wireless network, like in SonicWaves, is to defeat these networks by isolating, preventing them, or overcoming their wireless signal. We try to do that, but I live near an airport, and the AirPortRadar glitches my wireless network every nine seconds."
