"The solution has fast deployment and easy setup. There is no security PIN for this account."
"The app and the provisioning are the best features of the product. It was really impressive that I was able to just provision it remotely. I didn't have to be on-site with my friend, and we were just able to get everything up and operational. So, the app is great. It sends me notifications when things are down, and it tells me how everything is doing."

"The solution is scalable."
"The coverage Aruba provides across the physical area is much better. Most probably because of the new technology, the 4x4 antenna, and everything around it. It's just a much better, easier to use, and easier to manage product."

"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 should be made cheaper."
"I think that the next release should offer IP phone security/firewall."
"There was only ever one case in which an access point failed, but it was reintegrated. The issue was more of a matter of oversight. One part of the network had covered ten access points."
"Doesn't support enough access points in one cluster."
"The only issue we've had is getting equipment supplies. The availability of the APs that I want to use has been an issue. It took almost two months to get them the first time. I've ordered a few more for another client, and they're still on back order. It has been over a month now."
"The connectivity of the solution can use some improvement."
"It is a software characteristic, and it is during the reboot. During the startup of the AP, the AP tells you that you are using the wrong password. However, I have realized that this is not true."
"The tool's customer service should improve."
"Aruba Instant's visibility, firewalling, L3 functionality, and DHCP services could all be improved."
"The limited functionality of the mobile app restricts its use primarily to small and medium-sized setups, making it less suitable for enterprise-level solutions."
"The solution should include higher speed and lesser cost."
"Software-wise, I would like to have a way of moving APs from site to site and wish there would be a way to add more APs to one site. I know the limit is 25 APs per site and I wish there were more."
"While it is mostly scalable, there are some limitations."
"It's only suitable for smaller offices. It doesn't scale well."
"I would like to see a feature that blocks, increases, or decreases bandwidth capacity for devices."
"The tool is priced high."
"When there are a lot of people connected, especially during video streaming demonstrations, the connection can get a bit choppy."
