"The web-based GUI is much simpler to use than similar products by Cisco."
"The product has been pretty stable...The product is scalable."
"It's been running for the past three years with no default configuration."
"The most useful feature of this product is the configuration that allows us to have several areas covered with one unit."
"The most valuable feature of Aruba Wireless is application monitoring."
"With the central management system, I'm able to access each device. I can configure one device and then it provisions all the other devices with the same configuration, rather than my having to configure them one by one."
"The initial setup was very straightforward."
"The tool's deployment is very easy. The deployment of 15 access points can take a day."
"Anyone can buy the product off the shelf and configure it."
"The most valuable feature is the level of security on the Wi-Fi network."
"The product is simple to use in terms of GUI and dashboard."
"Ubiquiti provides good connectivity for the end-user, so I think it's stable."
"Ubiquiti WLAN's best feature is the free controller system software."
"The solution is scalable."
"Improvement is needed in the user-friendliness of Juniper Mist, particularly in enhancing the interaction with AI features."
"The product should include adaptive Wi-Fi to show a more accurate location."
"I need a bit more time with it before criticizing the features."
"Juniper Wireless AP can improve by continually improving its reporting and integration with other systems."
"Enrolling into the tool is a tedious process."
"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."
"If you want to do more specific stuff, it's a bit limited."
"We needed the help of network consultants to complete the setup for us."
"The price could be better. In the next release, I would like to have more analytics features."
"Improvements to the GUI, such as being able to search in the Mobility Master, would be nice."
"I would like to see the management improve."
"Better integration with equipment from other vendors would ease the deployment process in some cases."
"The solution needs to add features and enhance security."
"I used to have issues with DHCP. It is extremely buggy and difficult to upgrade with different firmware versions/models."
"One area for improvement in Aruba Wireless is its dashboard or interface because in some cases, it's not as easy to use as it should be, but overall, it's okay. Pricing for the product is also on the higher side. Another area for improvement in Aruba Wireless is technical support because it's hard to reach when issues arise and the speed of answer could be faster. Other areas for improvement in the product include integration and configuration."
"Ubiquiti WLAN is not a cheap solution."
"I have never used cloud solutions. My first approach would be something related to the cloud, and backups on the cloud, and maybe an easier way to connect to it because I have an on-premises environment."
"Largely we're happy with the product, however, the firmware deployments could maybe be managed a little bit differently."
"The product’s bandwidth could be better."
"If they can integrate or release a single platform because, currently, there are two different platforms for switches and routers. So, maintaining just one unified platform, like, for example, unifying the models or brands, and avoiding separate platforms for edge switches, edge routers, and other Ubiquiti products, would simplify the integration and implementation process."
"The product must provide better warranties."
"Ubiquiti lacks troubleshooting tools. For example, there aren't tools that your clients can use to gather input on the AP itself. There's no visibility in the application layer or reporting. It doesn't have a lot of management features."
"Ubiquiti WLAN would be improved with the addition of individual AP configuration, which would allow for fine-tuning of individual access points and logins."
