Find out what your peers are saying about HPE Aruba Networking, Cisco, Ruckus and others in Wireless LAN."The solution is very secure."
"The AI capabilities of Mist Wireless are superior to other OEMs."
"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."
"In terms of reporting, in terms of all the user reports, it's very rich."
"You can easily monitor, manage, and cover all your IT equipment."
"The most valuable feature of Juniper Mist is the Virtual Network Assistant, powered by artificial intelligence."

"The artificial intelligence feature is very good."
"Cisco is one of the leading vendors and is at the top of many lists. The access software is robust, and the performance of the devices is excellent."
"The solution is easy to use and its stable."
"Authentication is the important feature for us. My IT staff no longer has to look after catering to clients who come from overseas."
"The stability of the solution is good."
"The most valuable features of Cisco Wireless are security and the ability to manage everything easily. Other solutions, such as Aruba are not as simple."
"The CleanAir features and the fast transition."
"We were able to utilize the elements of the core and provide a solution to our customers similar to that of Cisco Meraki."
"The product has valuable features for integration and authentication."
"What I like best about ExtremeCloud IQ is its ease of use. Flexibility is another pro of ExtremeCloud IQ. I also find ExtremeCloud IQ feature-rich."
"What's most valuable for me in ExtremeCloud IQ is easy management. It also has centralized administration, so you don't have to go to the customer site to program it. It can be programmed remotely."
"The Client 360 feature provides a comprehensive view of your clients and their activities, including the devices they use. Additionally, a feature called Network 360 offers a 360-degree view of the network, like data usage (in GB), the status of ports and AP, and other details. You can drill down on granular-level drills to gain insights into specific applications and usage patterns like application level and fee, where your data is being wasted or what your clients are doing with the Internet data, what kind of applications they are using, etc."
"HiveManager is extremely easy to use for anyone with little network experience."
"It allows me to see APs and clients that are having issues, allowing for faster support response and less downtime."
"What our customers like the most is that this device is so rugged. It has very good performance and throughput. Its console is very easy to use and has many features, which makes it different from its competitors. Cloud IQ has all the features built into the console, whereas other solutions require you to integrate multiple solutions with their consoles. You don't need to add anything extra with Cloud IQ. With this single solution, you can do almost everything."
"The most valuable feature is the centralized management capability."
"This solution's most valuable feature is its short deployment time."
"They should include SD-WAN features to it."
"The pricing should be made cheaper."
"I need a bit more time with it before criticizing the features."
"Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points’ support services need improvement."
"Enrolling into the tool is a tedious process."
"If you want to do more specific stuff, it's a bit limited."
"There is room for improvement in terms of support and installation."
"The price could be better."
"There is no technology without room for improvement. The main setback with Cisco solutions, not only with Cisco Wireless, is having to update the OS manually. We are now migrating to Miraki, so we've been able to work that out."
"The new licensing model isn't as good as what they had before."
"The new licensing has no added value and seems to be Cisco's effort to take advantage of customers."
"They are a pretty expensive option."
"The price should be reduced. It should be cheaper."
"The product could be improved with interference reduction. Because wireless frequency interferes with microwave or Bluetooth technologies, this causes issues. A lot of users still use legacy wireless adapters and black box and they do not experience the speed that they could get using the latest technologies. The number of devices on the market makes wireless communications complex. If the problem of interference could be resolved it would further improve utility and ease of system design."
"It's expensive."
"The GUI could be made more user-friendly. There should also be a dashboard where it can showcase how many end-users are connected to a particular access point."
"The licensing model could be improved."
"ExtremeCloud IQ’s user interface needs to be improved, and its current bugs need to be fixed."
"They can improve just the onboarding process. More user information about the introduction to the product would be helpful. It would be good if they have a better user introduction to the new product because it is different than the prior version."
"Their firewall configuration gets funky and it can be difficult to understand."
"Integrating the network access control solution can be complex, as it essentially combines two separate products."
"There can be an improvement by incorporating two-factor authentication or multi-factor authentication for security. Advanced network access control features and application control features should be added to manage applications. Many customers are interested in managing data, such as setting data quotas for individual users."
"Pricing could be improved. It could be lower."
"From our perspective, we would love to see Aerohive provide faster feature enhancement in their Virtual Appliance to match the features with the cloud solution more quickly."
