"The most valuable feature of Aruba Instant On Access Points is they are easy to manage."
"It's super user-friendly."
"Regarding access points, the customer typically considers low-cost plans, and Ruckus Unleashed Access Points are commonly used. These access points are managed through the Microsoft console and can be accessed either with or without ports. The management is done through a controller. The main benefits customers see include cost-effectiveness, especially for those with budget constraints. Aruba, in particular, provides a good user experience. Some customers might choose Huawei, but enterprise access points are also considered. Additionally, the unified access point capabilities are valuable, allowing management from the same account. However, there is a limitation of twenty-five access points, and if a customer requires more, they need to create another site or account. If the customer exceeds twenty-five access points, they need to generate another site or virtual business to manage additional access points, as the external number is limited to twenty-five."
"There is room for improvement in terms of support and installation."
"Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points’ support services need improvement."
"The price could be better."
"The product should include adaptive Wi-Fi to show a more accurate location."
"Juniper Wireless Access Points (AP Series) could improve if the MIST platform had a built-in master key. This would be an advantage."
"If you want to do more specific stuff, it's a bit limited."
"The pricing should be made cheaper."
"Enrolling into the tool is a tedious process."
"Aruba Instant is a simple and scalable solution that works well, but the costs you incur from access points could be cheaper."
"Technical support needs improvement. We use the forum for technical support assistance, but it's not enough. If you're talking with a technician, they're in India. They cannot give you the service that you need. Sometimes have problems with some personal services and technical support is not helpful in this area."
"They could provide a centralized system to manage switches incorporated into multiple branches."
"They could offer a new model for access points that are outdoors."
"The product's high cost is an area where improvements are required."
"The connectivity of the solution can use some improvement."
"The product’s GUI must be improved."
"There is an issue with flooding to the Aruba access point on the ports."
"The tool is priced high."
"The solution can be more integrated with other brands."
"The limited functionality of the mobile app restricts its use primarily to small and medium-sized setups, making it less suitable for enterprise-level solutions."
"If anything, its reporting could be improved."
"The tool's pricing is not good."
"It's only suitable for smaller offices. It doesn't scale well."
"The product's machine or equipment can cater to around 20 connections and cannot go beyond 50 simultaneous connections, because of which I think the tool's scalability is limited."
"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."
