"The simplicity is great."
"You can easily monitor, manage, and cover all your IT equipment."
"For me, there are two important features: 1) WLAN grouping – Allows us to have different groups and, within those groups, specific WLANs, so there is no overlapping. 2) FlexConnect – Enables us to have remote offices at different locations. We can have a central WLC to control all the locations."
"The solution offers central management, reliability, and signal, ensures the bandwidth, and segregates the network. It also maintains the authentication process in the compass solution, which is good regarding multiple software."
"The technical support is excellent."

"Cisco Wireless products are easy to use."
"Cisco Wireless is easy to use."
"Security is an important feature for my customers, and I am able to offer this to them with our Cisco products."
"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 tool's deployment is very easy. The deployment of 15 access points can take a day."
"Ubiquiti WLAN's most valuable features are that it works well in a hybrid environment and isn't heavy on resources."
"The product is simple to use in terms of GUI and dashboard."
"would rate the scalability a nine out of ten. It is very scalable."
"I have found Ubiquiti WLAN scalable. We have approximately 200 users using the solution in my organization and do not plan to increase usage."
"The solution is very easy to install."
"The initial setup is easy."
"Ubiquiti WLAN has good availability, and it is much cheaper."
"I need a bit more time with it before criticizing the features."
"The pricing is very high in the Indian market."
"The price could be better."
"The pricing should be made cheaper."
"The solution is expensive."
"Juniper Wireless Access Points (AP Series) could improve if the MIST platform had a built-in master key. This would be an advantage."
"There is room for improvement in terms of support and installation."
"Improvement is needed in the user-friendliness of Juniper Mist, particularly in enhancing the interaction with AI features."
"The installation is very tiring and painful, the process could be easier."
"The software quality could be improved, in particular for the new Cisco Aironet Series 2800/3800 Access Point which is pretty Linux-based."
"And from an administration point of view, it is a very tedious job to check on each and every control. We have around 30 or 40 controls in our network."
"They are a pretty expensive option."
"The product’s interface must be improved."
"Its licensing has been very frustrating. There is also the complexity of managing the product. These are probably the two reasons why we're looking at Aruba. The way they license this product is not simple. There are some good features in the latest version, but there are additional license costs as well, which is frustrating for us. It is not really a feature issue for us. It really comes down to cost and licensing. They should make it a bit simpler to manage. We find the overall solution a little bit more complex than we would like to deal with. Its troubleshooting is a bit difficult, and it does require a high skill set. Comparatively, Aruba seems quite simple. One of the benefits of the Aruba product is that it is cloud-managed. We don't have to manage the management platform itself, whereas Cisco is on-premise. Its user interface could also be better."
"Sometimes, in some rooms the signal could be a bit better, a little stronger."
"There are some areas of improvement needed in roaming and streaming."
"The product’s bandwidth could be better."
"The strength of the signal from the access points could be improved."
"Ubiquiti WLAN is not a cheap solution."
"The statistics you can get on it are a bit limited from what I have seen so far."
"Ubiquiti WLAN needs to expand the models with external antennas. It needs to improve stability."
"Switching devices requires reconfiguration from scratch."
"The room for improvement is in the controller levels."
"The product's area of concern revolves around its lack of support."
