"In terms of reporting, in terms of all the user reports, it's very rich."
"The simplicity is great."
"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."
"Overall, we've been very pleased with the performance."
"The solution is stable."
"The most valuable feature of Juniper Mist is the Virtual Network Assistant, powered by artificial intelligence."
"Juniper Mist offers valuable features like comprehensive network insight, granular policy control, fast device setup, strong security, and efficient SSL traffic management."
"The solution is pretty generic and easy to use."
"The product has some very awesome patents on their radios and their antennas and antenna patterns and how their signaling works. That's why nobody can touch them. If they go head to head with anybody."
"The solution has great network intelligence from applications, clients, access points, and controllers."
"Ruckus Wireless supports the most recent technologies. We can trace every individual and what kind of traffic they're using on our campus. It is very helpful."
"Performance-wise, it's great."
"The most valuable feature for me is reliability."
"The smart antenna is very good."
"We rarely had access points fail in the field. They were rock solid, durable, and had the best signal penetration from any we tested."
"The Ruckus Location-Based Services (LBS) Solution is the highlight that enables businesses to enhance the way of interaction with their customers on the basis of precise location."
"Ubiquiti provides good connectivity for the end-user, so I think it's stable."
"Ubiquiti WLAN has good performance."
"The solution is very easy to install."
"Ubiquiti WLAN is stable."
"The ease of use and simplicity of the solution is its most valuable feature. This tool is best suited for small environments."
"The product’s most valuable feature is the workflow-driven setup for the infrastructure component."
"I have found Ubiquiti WLAN scalable. We have approximately 200 users using the solution in my organization and do not plan to increase usage."
"For me, the ease of configuration is a valuable feature."
"I need a bit more time with it before criticizing the features."
"It would be helpful to have even stronger security features to help protect against interference from other nearby access points that aren't part of our network."
"The pricing should be made cheaper."
"Improving third-party integration is key for Juniper Mist's next release."
"Juniper Wireless Access Points (AP Series) could improve if the MIST platform had a built-in master key. This would be an advantage."
"They should include SD-WAN features to it."
"Enrolling into the tool is a tedious process."
"Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points’ support services need improvement."
"The solution is sensitive with reference to power fluctuations. This sensitivity should be improved. Additionally, the solution should have more security features integrated."
"They can improve the cloud portion. Other vendors have a cloud controller, and they can provide the same so that we can see everything."
"The cloud controller needs work. My big issue is that all APs can't set static IPs. Also, adding customers to your dashboard is not that easy at all. I wish I could pop out some reporting from the dashboards as well."
"The cost could be slightly improved. It's not on the low end, and it's not in the high end. It's in that middle area, which can be a deciding factor between someone going with this solution versus another one."
"The initial setup could be more straightforward. It would be better if we could seamlessly integrate security tools like a firewall or IPS with Ruckus Wireless."
"The solution could include more security features."
"Ruckus is a bad solution in general. It's pretty old and outdated."
"An area for improvement in Ruckus Wireless is automating its guest WiFi access function. Currently, the product requires token generation, so it would be better if there's a portal for the guest to log in and get the password rather than the IT team needing to give passwords to guests."
"Ubiquiti WLAN would be improved with the addition of individual AP configuration, which would allow for fine-tuning of individual access points and logins."
"It is not a stable solution."
"The solution should improve stability."
"The solution is stable but could improve."
"During the configuration, we cannot get information on the network level from the regular interface."
"When I started to upgrade, the controller for Unbuntu was really struggling to start up, however, that has since been solved."
"Switching devices requires reconfiguration from scratch."
"There seems to be a drop in service. It's definitely a reliability or stability issue we face."
