Cons
"They should include SD-WAN features to it.""Enrolling into the tool is a tedious process.""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.""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.""Juniper Wireless Access Points (AP Series) could improve if the MIST platform had a built-in master key. This would be an advantage.""Improving third-party integration is key for Juniper Mist's next release.""There is room for improvement in terms of support and installation."

More Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points Cons →

"The solution must include integrated IoT solutions on their wireless APs.""The cost is a little high.""The current product line is very high-level and is well suited for enterprise-level organizations, but they need a more cost-effective solution for smaller businesses.""The reports could prove in ExtremeWireless. However, we are in the early stages of use and we might be able to configure them better.""In the next release, I would like to see more security features.""ExtremeWireless support isn't very good.""The troubleshooting feature for the cloud version is challenging.""The main area for improvement is the company's local visibility."

More ExtremeWireless Cons →

"The solution lacks certain protocols and has a limited warranty.""Sometimes, we encounter the need for new technologies, especially when we require higher bandwidth. If we can't find what we need with HPE Ethernet Switches, we explore options from other vendors like Cisco.""If there is any fluctuation in power then we will face an outage with our POE switches, so this is something that should be improved.""The solution is a bit expensive.""There could be features for ransomware attack detection and enhanced anomaly detection to identify and mitigate anonymous traffic.""I would also like to see a more centralized private management console for the series of devices. Most solutions are adopting centralized cloud-based management, but my client base believes cloud solutions are too insecure. You've got a few dozen switches, so it would be nice to have the ability to manage them on a "single pane of glass."""The solution's throughput should be increased because we often get stuck when it comes to IPTV streaming.""We would always be happier if the price were reduced."
