"Overall, we've been very pleased with the performance."
"The most valuable feature in this product would be the stability. You build it, install it, and it’s good to go, with no further tweaks needed unless adding or replacing APs."
"The virtual controller has options for updating and remotely restarting any AP from one controller panel."
"For my organization, the most critical feature of Aruba Wireless is guest management."
"I have found the most valuable features are the new Wi-Fi six technology and it also integrates with triple-A solutions. It has good bandwidth and virtual control."
"The initial setup was very easy and intuitive."
"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."
"Reasonably priced and great for small to medium size organizations."
"The solution is well designed so you can easily integrate it in an infrastructure network."
"The product is user-friendly and helps with cost minimization."
"The cloud-based management provided by Cambium Networks is particularly valuable to us, as it allows us to efficiently manage Wi-Fi, point-to-point connections, firewalls, and switches across various locations from a centralized platform. This enables us to be proactive in providing support and ensures smooth operations for our clients."
"This solution is extremely user-friendly; it is very easy to configure and work with."
"We can scale it if we need to."
"It offers features that are essential for an efficient and high-performance wireless LAN deployment, where capacity, coverage, and quality are optimized, and frequency bands are selected based on the specific needs of the network."
"They all have controllers built in, and we manage them all with a web-based management tool."
"The web-based administration is what I find most beneficial."
"The product has valuable throughput capabilities. It also has an inbuilt spectrum analyzer for stable connectivity."
"There is room for improvement in terms of support and installation."
"The product should include adaptive Wi-Fi to show a more accurate location."
"If you want to do more specific stuff, it's a bit limited."
"Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points’ support services need improvement."
"The price could be better."
"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."
"Juniper Wireless Access Points (AP Series) could improve if the MIST platform had a built-in master key. This would be an advantage."
"If you want a centralized management system that is able to manage all your networking devices such as the wireless, the switch, the routers, and the firewall, then Aruba may not be the one, because Aruba doesn't do firewalls."
"To enhance the system, more work on integration would be beneficial."
"The stability and management could be improved."
"Not cost-effective."
"The dashboards that represent the network access control in Aruba Wireless could improve."
"What needs improvement in Aruba Wireless is its access point, in particular, it should have more flexibility. Aruba Wireless has Campus AP, Instant AP, and Unified AP, but it would be better if the product has a generic access point that you can manage over the cloud, on-premise, etc. Another area for improvement in Aruba Wireless is scalability. In terms of what additional features I'd like to see in the product, I'm unsure if it's already on the roadmap, but if possible, it would be good to have an SD-WAN functionality on the AP in Aruba Wireless."
"The solution's GUI for configuration could be better."
"I believe that Aruba's support could be improved."
"What could be improved in Cambium Networks Wireless LAN is its efficiency in large areas because we noticed that there's a need to increase the APs in large rooms or spaces for the Wi-Fi to be more efficient. Another area for improvement in Cambium Networks Wireless LAN is bandwidth management. This is a feature that Meraki has that allows you to control user bandwidth, so my company has a pilot project to test Meraki Wireless LAN. Bandwidth control is an additional feature I'd like to see in Cambium Networks Wireless LAN as that would make the solution better."
"Cambium Networks Wireless LAN should improve its pricing."
"The problem with this radio wireless technology is that it cannot compete in terms of bandwidth with the fiber optics at this moment. That's the biggest weakness."
"The platform's cost needs improvement."
"The solution’s technical support could be faster."
"Our areas for improvement would be a refresh with the most recent technology available."
"The solution should be scalable, offering better pricing options as we optimize the network for coverage, capacity, and quality"
"We would like this product to have more information data sheets available. At present we cannot easily access details around the full capability of a piece of equipment."
