"The most useful feature of Juniper Wireless AP is the reporting Marvis."
"The artificial intelligence feature is very good."
"In terms of reporting, in terms of all the user reports, it's very rich."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is Marvis, the AI-driven network management system."
"With Mist, every Wednesday they roll out new features."
"The most valuable feature of Juniper Wireless Access Points (AP Series) is the ability to troubleshoot ports on the network. 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."
"The simplicity is great."
"The flexibility, since it's a cloud service, is the most valuable feature of this solution."
"The solution is stable and reliable."
"The most valuable features are the management tools, including monitoring and reporting."
"You can scale the solution easily."
"I really don't have any problems with the stability of the product."
"It makes the process much easier by providing visibility and centralized control over the network."
"The interface makes it easy to manage."

"Ekahau Site Survey can be crucial for troubleshooting our Wi-Fi network."
"Ekahau Site Survey is scalable."
"It is a stable solution."
"We are satisfied with the way this product is working."
"Ekahau Site Survey is user-friendly."
"There are some survey tools that are a little easier to use, but the benefit of using the Ekahau is that it is very configurable. If you go into a building that has solid cement walls, instead of traditional walls, you can configure it for that. It is much more configurable than the other ones."
"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."
"The solution is user-friendly and it provides a good output that can be measured, and I can describe and pinpoint any inaccuracy shortfalls."
"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."
"There is room for improvement in terms of support and installation."
"The product should include adaptive Wi-Fi to show a more accurate location."
"They should include SD-WAN features to it."
"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."
"I need a bit more time with it before criticizing the features."
"They're great. If there's anything that they need to change, it is just simplifying the site to which you go to make changes on the admin side."
"We would like the solution to work on the pricing of the solution. It would be ideal if it could bring the overall costs down."
"If they could work on the Meraki firewall hardware, and add SSL decryption as well as more application control and deep packet inspection, that would be ideal."
"It lags a bit in providing reports for Wi-Fi performance."
"The product's coverage area could be expanded. It would help ensure better connectivity."
"If there are advanced features that you can have enabled, they should allow users access to that in an easier manner."
"Meraki should share their viability roadmap. It is really hard to know which functionality will appear or when they will be available. It is also hard to know which features are available now but are not visible on the dashboard."
"Some of their first level support staff does not seem to be well-versed in the solution, so support for Cisco Meraki Wireless LAN needs improvement."
"Lacks an in-app photo app or a way to upload photos while carrying out an active onsite survey."
"I am having problems importing maps to Ekahau Site Survey. Importing is one of the first steps in using the solution and it is getting stuck. The problem could be that our maps are large with many layers."
"The GPS feature could be improved."
"The new Sidekick is going to support Wi-Fi 6 and Wi-Fi 6E."
"The information regarding the clients and signal strengths is missing in the Ekahau console."
"The support is an area in need of improvement."
"Sometimes there is a cancellation between two signals that the solution is not able to monitor correctly, this could improve in the future."
"They should improve the iPad application because it's unstable. Also, Ekahau could be better integrated with other vendors."
