"Initial setup was very straightforward. We set up the switches and APs, then took it from there. "
"We have three wireless networks: One for employee use, one for guest use, and one for our warehouse use, which uses MAC authentication. These wireless networks just simply work, they do not fail. The IAP-205 devices are very strong with great range. Very durable equipment; it always works."
"The dashboard tells us who is using most of the bandwidth, and how many APs are not in good range, or that do not actually have good security. It shows us which users are trying to hack or how many users are trying to use BitTorrent. So it gives us very good visibility into the user."
"The most valuable feature of Aruba Wireless is application monitoring."
"Basic initial setup is very easy when it comes to a new user on-premise."
"The most beneficial thing about Ubiquiti is that it is simple to deploy."
"The initial setup was very straightforward."
"The solution is very easy to install."
"For me, the ease of configuration is a valuable feature."
"Ubiquiti WLAN's best feature is the free controller system software."
"Great management interface."
"The pricing is very competitive and the feature sets are very good. It compares well against more expensive options."
"The solution works well and in the short time I have used it, I've enjoyed its capabilities."
"The solution is expensive."
"The pricing is very high in the Indian market."
"The product should include adaptive Wi-Fi to show a more accurate location."
"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."
"Improvement is needed in the user-friendliness of Juniper Mist, particularly in enhancing the interaction with AI features."
"Improving third-party integration is key for Juniper Mist's next release."
"Enrolling into the tool is a tedious process."
"Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points’ support services need improvement."
"Improvements to the GUI, such as being able to search in the Mobility Master, would be nice."
"There needs to be better visibility on the day-to-day monitoring."
"Aruba Wireless could improve the interface, it does not have a smart web interface. Other solutions have smart web interfaces, such as Cisco Meraki."
"The coverage, concurrent user life, and visualization are the most valuable features of these solutions."
"What needs improvement in Aruba Wireless is its access point, in particular, it should have more flexibility. Aruba Wireless has Campus AP, Instant AP, and Unified AP, but it would be better if the product has a generic access point that you can manage over the cloud, on-premise, etc. Another area for improvement in Aruba Wireless is scalability. In terms of what additional features I'd like to see in the product, I'm unsure if it's already on the roadmap, but if possible, it would be good to have an SD-WAN functionality on the AP in Aruba Wireless."
"Not cost-effective."
"Aruba’s poor performance and random upgrade issues caused too much time consuming maintenance and troubleshooting."
"The reliability could be improved."
"The solution should improve stability."
"The solution needs to improve robustness, security, and stability."
"Ubiquiti WLAN would be improved with the addition of individual AP configuration, which would allow for fine-tuning of individual access points and logins."
"Cloud management is one feature that should be included in the next release. This tool is best suited for small environments, not large and complex ones."
"The product needs to improve the user interface in the migration from old to new versions."
"I have never used cloud solutions. My first approach would be something related to the cloud, and backups on the cloud, and maybe an easier way to connect to it because I have an on-premises environment."
"The statistics you can get on it are a bit limited from what I have seen so far."
"Ubiquiti lacks troubleshooting tools. For example, there aren't tools that your clients can use to gather input on the AP itself. There's no visibility in the application layer or reporting. It doesn't have a lot of management features."
