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."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 AI capabilities of Mist Wireless are superior to other OEMs."
"The simplicity is great."
"Overall, we've been very pleased with the performance."
"With Mist, every Wednesday they roll out new features."
"In terms of reporting, in terms of all the user reports, it's very rich."
"It provides private network access, helping us protect our company’s devices."
"The solution is stable."
"The most valuable feature of Aruba Instant On Access Points is they are easy to manage."
"The product is scalable. It has 20 users."
"The initial setup is easy."
"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."
"When an error or alert happens, I receive it in the application. I do not have to be there to know if something is wrong."
"It's super user-friendly."
"The solution is scalable."
"With a variety of switches in their setup, they find that Aruba's online monitoring tools and configuration options for applications effectively manage most of their requirements, all while keeping the process straightforward and user-friendly."
"This solution is extremely user-friendly; it is very easy to configure and work with."
"The product has valuable throughput capabilities. It also has an inbuilt spectrum analyzer for stable connectivity."
"The web-based administration is what I find most beneficial."
"Cambium Networks Wireless LAN is easy to deploy. The implementation can take two weeks to four months."
"We can scale it if we need to."
"The cloud-based management provided by Cambium Networks is particularly valuable to us, as it allows us to efficiently manage Wi-Fi, point-to-point connections, firewalls, and switches across various locations from a centralized platform. This enables us to be proactive in providing support and ensures smooth operations for our clients."
"What I like best about Cambium Networks Wireless LAN is that it's easy to configure, has no licensing hassle, and is a controller-based solution."
"The most valuable features of the solution are its range and stability."
"If you want to do more specific stuff, it's a bit limited."
"The product should include adaptive Wi-Fi to show a more accurate location."
"They should include SD-WAN features to it."
"Enrolling into the tool is a tedious process."
"The pricing should be made cheaper."
"The price could be better."
"I need a bit more time with it before criticizing the features."
"There is room for improvement in terms of support and installation."
"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."
"The tool is priced high."
"I believe there's room for improvement in the validation process, especially for customers facing compliance issues when managing access points from the cloud. It would be beneficial if the access points could also be managed from an on-premises controller. Regarding additional features, customers express interest in enhancing the controller, specifically improving the capability to manage a higher number of access points from the same controller. This feature is crucial for better scalability. Another feature that customers would appreciate is the ability to increase the number of access points. However, the current process for obtaining this permission can be time-consuming, and customers would like to see improvements in this regard."
"The solution can be more integrated with other brands."
"It is scalable to a certain degree but not nearly as scalable and robust as your enterprise-grade solutions."
"The setup is not very easy. It requires some experience with Wi-Fi, especially with cloud connection and security."
"While it is mostly scalable, there are some limitations."
"The solution's range could be better."
"The capacity and coverage could be improved."
"We would like this product to have more information data sheets available. At present we cannot easily access details around the full capability of a piece of equipment."
"The product pricing needs improvement."
"I believe there's room for improvement in the configuration options for point-to-point setups directly from the cloud management interface. Currently, the process feels a bit clunky—you monitor the unit in the cloud but need to make configuration changes by editing a text file, then downloading it back to the unit. This method can be error-prone, as even a small mistake in the text file could disrupt the unit's configuration."
"Our areas for improvement would be a refresh with the most recent technology available."
"The problem with this radio wireless technology is that it cannot compete in terms of bandwidth with the fiber optics at this moment. That's the biggest weakness."
"Cambium Networks Wireless LAN should improve its pricing."
"The platform's cost needs improvement."
