"The initial setup is easy."
"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."
"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."
"The product is easy to set up, providing value for time since it is very quick."
"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."

"The solution has fast deployment and easy setup. There is no security PIN for this account."

"I use Fortinet FortiWLM for wireless communication and the internet."
"If you do have a FortiGate Firewall somewhere in the network, you can connect the wireless controller to that... You get 100 percent visibility from a single point... You can see everything that's connected to the FortiGate, whether it's a switch or a wireless AP or a wireless controller or any other Fortinet product."
"We can deploy a tunnel-based VLAN and SSID, for something that happens at the last minute, in a matter of minutes, because of the interaction between the FortiGate, the FortiSwitches, and the FortiAPs."
"This is the only product on the market currently that supports as many access points for wifi users."
"I found that It's really good when comparing it to any other product or it is much better in terms of features that the customer requires."
"Security is the feature we like most from Fortinet. In general, their security architecture is really great, because it involves everything: firewalls, wireless LANs, the user. Everything is really secure."
"Seamless roaming by leveraging Virtual Cell is a major advantage which reduces roam times and issues related to roaming. Code stability has been excellent and the hardware quality is second to none."
"The security is a valuable feature."
"I need a bit more time with it before criticizing the features."
"Juniper Wireless AP can improve by continually improving its reporting and integration with other systems."
"The pricing should be made cheaper."
"Enrolling into the tool is a tedious process."
"There is room for improvement in terms of support and installation."
"The pricing is very high in the Indian market."
"The solution is expensive."
"If you want to do more specific stuff, it's a bit limited."
"The solution's range could be better."
"If there's a way to get a floor map of our office space so we can place the access points on a map to be able to see what's what, where everything is going, where the most traffic is being connected, that would be a nice feature."
"It is suitable for smaller organizations, but it may not be the best choice for large enterprises."
"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 solution should include higher speed and lesser cost."
"If anything, its reporting could be improved."
"It is scalable to a certain degree but not nearly as scalable and robust as your enterprise-grade solutions."
"While it is mostly scalable, there are some limitations."
"The solution should improve user capacity."
"The roaming of Fortinet FortiWLM could improve when comparing it to other solutions. We are missing some of the functionality in the controller. Additionally, they should offer more logs instead of using FortiAnalyzer because all the users will not be using the same thing."
"Cost is something that could be improved, but you have to pay for what you get."
"Areas for improvement would be the compatibility with Apple products and cross-platform integration."
"This solution should be easier to set up in a production environment."
"I have used Cisco previously and I don't see any specific differences from Fortinet FortiWLM or other vendors."
