We performed a comparison between Cisco Wireless and Juniper WLC Series based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Wireless LAN solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."You can easily monitor, manage, and cover all your IT equipment."
"The AI capabilities of Mist Wireless are superior to other OEMs."
"The solution is pretty generic and easy to use."
"It provides private network access, helping us protect our company’s devices."
"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."
"The most useful feature of Juniper Wireless AP is the reporting Marvis."
"The artificial intelligence feature is very good."
"It integrates with Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA)."
"Cisco Wireless improves mobility and flexibility. The only case we are working on is with hospitals, focusing on the mobility of doctors within the hospital. Everywhere, doctors need to be connected to the network, even within the operating theater, patient rooms, and even the basement, like the radiology department. As far as the solution goes, the coverage is usually very comprehensive."
"The speed and security are most valuable."
"This increased mobility has helped our organization. We can talk to one another from different locations and stay in constant contact and with employees across the enterprise. Everyone has access to up-to-the-minute communications and all documents and applications on our network."
"One of the main advantages of Cisco Wireless is its DNAT compatibility. When we have dynamic segmentation, or the DNAT enabled on the LAN, Cisco Access Point integrates with the DNAT architecture. Aruba Switches cannot integrate with the Cisco DNAT architecture."
"The most important thing for me is that all the access points are in one group and use one access code. So, when you move from one area to another, you don't disconnect and reconnect again. The device is also very easy to install and control."
"The solution is highly scalable."
"I like many of the features that Cisco Wireless has to offer."
"Juniper WLC Series is a very high-performance device designed for indoor wireless deployment."
"It prevents a large number of unauthorized modifications of access point devices."
"The installation process is nice and easy."
"It's easy to set up, and I feel it's very secure. I also prefer its reporting feature. The devices are quite good."
"There weren't any scalability issues, the product did what it had to do."
"The Artificial Intelligence on offer is very useful."
"The installation process is very easy."
"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."
"Enrolling into the tool is a tedious process."
"They should include SD-WAN features to it."
"If you want to do more specific stuff, it's a bit limited."
"The price could be better."
"The product should include adaptive Wi-Fi to show a more accurate location."
"There is room for improvement in terms of support and installation."
"I need a bit more time with it before criticizing the features."
"And from an administration point of view, it is a very tedious job to check on each and every control. We have around 30 or 40 controls in our network."
"The price should be reduced. It should be cheaper."
"There are performance issues, particularly with video calls where throughput is not great."
"It requires a few tweaks in order to stabilize it. Its portal is complex. Cisco solutions are complex in general."
"The price could be better."
"In the next release, I would like to have support for Wi-Fi 6."
"Sometimes, in some rooms the signal could be a bit better, a little stronger."
"The configuration interface could be easier. They should make roaming easier and should fix it so that when you cross a building you can keep the signal."
"The solution should create configuration documentation."
"There could be more information from the controller, and it could be easier to work with the controller lights. It's not easy to bring up the upgrades."
"The solution could offer more integration with other products."
"There could be a high level of security."
"We would prefer it if the solution could be less expensive."
"The biggest issue was that Juniper stopped developing, so we had to look for another solution."
"The support on offer to other vendors switching - like Aruba or Ruckus - could be improved."
