More Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points Pros →

More Cisco Wireless Pros →

"We don't have any issues 90 percent of the time. It works fine in most situations. It has been a success story for delivering WiFi services in Romania. Our customers are happy, and I've been satisfied with Omada's performance as an engineer.""The most valuable feature of the solution stems from the fact that it is easy to deploy and reliable.""We use Omada Access Points for the network and Wi-Fi.""This product is easy to use.""The solution's most valuable feature is its price.""The solution has been dependable and has kept up with modern technology.""The most valuable feature of TP-Link Auranet EAP is its high performance.""Its sturdiness and cost-effectiveness are the most valuable features."

Cons
"Enrolling into the tool is a tedious process.""The pricing is very high in the Indian market.""They should include SD-WAN features to it.""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.""Improving third-party integration is key for Juniper Mist's next release.""Juniper Wireless AP can improve by continually improving its reporting and integration with other systems.""The price could be better.""Improvement is needed in the user-friendliness of Juniper Mist, particularly in enhancing the interaction with AI features."

More Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points Cons →

"One of our customers complained about the ripple, that some of the data was incorrect. We opened a ticket and brought it to their attention that maybe some of the data was not correct. As of now, it has been two months since we opened the ticket and the issue still hasn't been resolved.""The reporting of the product could be improved. When I needed to troubleshoot, I couldn't get sufficient information from the controller.""Their software's really clunky.""The solution's pricing should be improved.""Improvements can be made to the telemetry. The licensing gets in the way here. It makes it impossible to record the different flows across the wireless network.""Many wireless controllers' firmware have bugs in their new releases, which are not stable, especially in an environment with many wireless AP (WAP) types.""Room for improvement wise, the wireless coverage of Cisco's equipment could be better for the price position. That is, I think that the radius for the coverage could be better to make it worth the price that we pay for it.""The licensing models need to be reviewed in some instances. Obviously Cisco's licensing models are quite challenging, and it can be costly."

More Cisco Wireless Cons →

"TP-Link Auranet EAP is not very efficient, they need to improve it.""It's better for smaller organizations. This would not work for enterprises. It is not very scalable.""The technical support could be improved.""There is room for wider improvements and additional features to enhance managing capabilities.""It is less affordable for smaller businesses.""The price of the solution is an area requiring improvement since I want the solution to be made available at a cheaper price than its current market price.""The solution takes a long time to switch to another connection, which should be improved.""There should be more remote support for the mobile application."

  • More Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "It is an expensive solution."
  • "Expensive."
  • "As far as I know Cisco is very competitive, price-wise. Talk to your third-party vendor. It all depends on the company size - how many employees, how big the building is. If it's wireless, and you have only 50 employees but you're using a large building floor, in that case you need many access points. But if you have 50 employees using two or three rooms, then you probably don't need it and it's going to be high density, so there is a different design. So you need to talk to a subject matter expert. Talk to them and design accordingly."
  • "Cisco is more on the expensive side, as compared to Aruba, but I must say Cisco's quality is unmatched, for sure."
  • "I am not a fan of Cisco's software pricing model. Their management software is far too expensive."
  • "The pricing is high. It could be cheaper."
  • "Never pay the full GPL price."
  • "Pricing is a bit on the high side compared to its competitors but we have to consider the support and usages of the solution. Licensing is now RTU and smart licensing. We need three types of licenses. One for each of the: APs, HA, controller."
  • More Cisco Wireless Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "Its benefit is that it is cost effective."
  • "TP-Link provides solutions that are more cost-effective than other well-known brands."
  • "The price of the solution is not a lot for five people to use it."
  • "The price is affordable, and we haven't had any additional costs due to having a limited number of users."
  • "There is no need to pay for the licensing costs since my company is in South Africa. Omada Access Points can be termed as a medium-priced product."
  • "We don't have to pay for the license because the solution has no subscription cost."
  • "TP-Link is a good price. They have a good price. But technology-wise, it has to be better."
  • "On a scale of one to ten for pricing, with one being cheap and ten being expensive, I would rate Omada Access Points at a one for its cost-effectiveness."
