"Aruba Instant's best feature is the ability to manage it in the cloud."
"The most valuable feature of Aruba Instant is its cloud capability, which allows us to manage it through the cloud."
"The tool's most valuable feature is Captive Portal, which we employ for our guest network.

This functionality allows us to assign different access privileges to users based on their roles within the organization."
"The deployment is easy."
"The solution provides a very good end-user experience."
"Mist AI and Cloud is the best solution I have seen in the industry, especially from the artificial intelligence perspective, as it helps businesses."
"There are several valuable features. One of them is Cibas, and another one is Marvis."
"Multi PSK (Pre-shared Key) is a very good feature in the solution...Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"It's really easy to provision and support. Those are its main features."
"AI-driven automation helps implement the solution quickly."
"The triangulation feature can be used to determine where a person is in relation to the access point."
"The AI deployment process involves adding access points and placing them in the designated area. The AI system automatically adjusts channel selection and transmission power without any issues with stability or throughput. It has improved network performance."
"I have a very good experience with the solution. Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The product should include adaptive Wi-Fi to show a more accurate location."
"Enrolling into the tool is a tedious process."
"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."
"Improvement is needed in the user-friendliness of Juniper Mist, particularly in enhancing the interaction with AI features."

"Improving third-party integration is key for Juniper Mist's next release."
"The pricing is very high in the Indian market."
"It is a software characteristic, and it is during the reboot. During the startup of the AP, the AP tells you that you are using the wrong password. However, I have realized that this is not true."
"The reach of the solution could be improved. It could be a bit stronger."
"The security features must be improved."
"The meshing could use improvement but aside from that nothing else really needs improvement."
"There is a problem in the preferred portal access points when I'm using the portal."
"If you need to access the master access point the integration between the two becomes quite expensive."
"Aruba Instant is a simple and scalable solution that works well, but the costs you incur from access points could be cheaper."
"My biggest problem with Aruba Instant was the DHCP implementation. The DHCP server needs to ping an IP address to connect to the internet. In some cases, we don't have a DHCP server in the network, and it was really a problem."
"There is no local support for Mist in Brazil."
"There seems to be different versions of standards used in the wireless access points. In the future, it would be helpful if the solution could come up with some kind of universal standard for all devices and all access points."
"The inter-functionality with other vendors was a negative for us."
"There could be more integration."
"Mist AI and Cloud should improve its integrations."
"It would be beneficial to have support for the Chinese language."
"Mist AI and Cloud need to improve the configuration speed."
"Mist AI and Cloud should be marketed more and focus on making partners in the industry."
