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 useful feature of Juniper Wireless AP is the reporting Marvis."
"The solution is stable."
"The artificial intelligence feature is very good."
"The simplicity is great."
"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 solution is very secure."
"The solution is pretty generic and easy to use."
"The product improved overall scalability and simplicity in configuring and replacing. The use of an Aruba Controller to configure multiple APs was game-changing."
"One advantage is the built-in Zigbee-based IoT functionality. You don't need an additional dongle to enable that option."
"Aruba Wireless does not have too many distinguishing feature sets. However, tunneling is more flexible in this solution than other solutions, such as Ruckus."
"The access points support a high number of connected clients."
"The most valuable features are the Instant On capabilities, including the controller."
"Aruba Wireless has been straightforward to set up."
"The network strength is good."
"Aruba Wireless is reliable, and the signal strength is pretty good."
"The product's initial setup phase is easy."
"The most valuable feature of D-Link Wireless is its durability."
"The setup process is very easy."
"It is a scalable solution. Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"I like the product's signal continuity and range. We can receive the signal up to 20-30 meters from the wireless antenna."
"The initial setup process was easy."
"The solution is extremely easy to install. You just add them and in a few clicks, they are ready to go."
"This is an affordable product that offers good performance. This is why it is popular with our customers. It offers good speed and bandwidth."
"Juniper Wireless Access Points (AP Series) could improve if the MIST platform had a built-in master key. This would be an advantage."
"Juniper Wireless AP can improve by continually improving its reporting and integration with other systems."
"The solution is expensive."
"Enrolling into the tool is a tedious process."
"The pricing is very high in the Indian market."
"There is room for improvement in terms of support and installation."
"The product should include adaptive Wi-Fi to show a more accurate location."
"If you want to do more specific stuff, it's a bit limited."
"They could work on energy consumption as this equipment needs a lot of energy."
"Sometimes the configuration is difficult."
"The upgrades tend to be buggy and better testing is needed before they are released."
"There is a long queue whenever we reach out to support, and we have to wait for them to answer calls. Once we get in touch with them, we have to coordinate with different teams, so our engineers struggle to understand who are the correct team members. I think support is another area where Aruba needs to improve."
"I wish the APs had the ability to enter in notes about a specific AP."
"Configuration could be made easier with more bandwidth than they offer at the moment."
"There are some issues we occasionally have. However, they are easily remedied."
"I need more access. I only install the hardware and the software part for the client. However, there are no admin privileges, which is an issue. You need to contact them and make a special request."
"The stability could be a bit better."
"The performance offered by D-Link Wireless can be a bit problematic at times, owing to which it is an area that can be considered for improvement."
"D-Link has some catching up to do in terms of advancing and improving its technology."
"Password restriction: Sometimes we set a password and it uses that password but, after some days/months, the password gets changed and a few laptops still use old the password while a few use the new password. The password restriction option needs to improve."
"Sometimes we configure the SSID with a password but the same AP shows two WiFi connections with the same SSID name (one is protected by a password and another one give access without a password)."
"The support offered by the product needs to be faster with better technical personnel."
"In future, it would also be good to have a switch within D Link that works as well as the Cisco 9200 Switch."
"The solution doesn't have hotspots. Users can't set it up so that visitors can log in via Facebook or social media as they can at, for example, airports. D-Link should include hotspots that offer integration with social media. That way, visitors don't need to be asking people for passwords. They can just use Facebook."
