Find out what your peers are saying about HPE Aruba Networking, Cisco, Ruckus and others in Wireless LAN."The simplicity is great."
"The solution is pretty generic and easy to use."
"The most useful feature of Juniper Wireless AP is the reporting Marvis."
"The most valuable feature of Juniper Mist is the Virtual Network Assistant, powered by artificial intelligence."
"With Mist, every Wednesday they roll out new features."
"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."
"In terms of reporting, in terms of all the user reports, it's very rich."
"Overall, we've been very pleased with the performance."
"Support through third party vendors or direct from HPE has been easy to manage. They are very responsive."
"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."
"With Aruba Wireless Controller, all our access points are connected to one controller. Through that controller, we can actually handle each access point; we can disconnect or connect that access point, and then we can tell, or see, or allow how many users are, or should be, connected through that access point."
"For my organization, the most critical feature of Aruba Wireless is guest management."
"The fact that Aruba Wireless has a virtual controller onboard the internet access points makes it cheaper than other solutions."
"The 335-AP provides reliability, stability."
"The feature I found most valuable to customers in Aruba Wireless is not a technical feature. It's more of its image, trademark, or brand as the product is very well-known in the market, and that's a good point to offer to customers. My customers just ask about the basic features of the product, and usually, when asking about Aruba products, customers don't pay too much attention to any specific feature as long as the product is solid and sure, and that you can change or modify it, as what you can get from Aruba Wireless."
"The solution is scalable. It supports my five-year expansion plan. I could expand without a problem."
"The Juniper EX Series's most valuable feature is its robustness. Additionally, it is easy to use and great GUI."
"The most valuable features of Juniper Ethernet Switches are the simple configuration and ruggedness."
"In terms of performance, Juniper switches have a more user-friendly interface and more features than Cisco products."
"Juniper Ethernet Switches' best features are the high packer sorting and throughput, good uplink port capacity, and virtual setup."
"Juniper switches are smart and we have all the features that we want. You can rollback to the previous version if you make any mistake during configuration. This is not possible in Cisco."
"This is a lower cost product with better features than the competition."
"It has features that allow us to go back to previous configurations."
"If you want to do more specific stuff, it's a bit limited."
"I need a bit more time with it before criticizing the features."
"Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points’ support services need improvement."
"Improving third-party integration is key for Juniper Mist's next release."
"The pricing is very high in the Indian market."
"The pricing should be made cheaper."
"The price could be better."
"The solution is expensive."
"The user interface could be improved in Aruba Wireless. This would make the setup easier."
"I would like to be able to customize Captive Portals."
"The upgrades tend to be buggy and better testing is needed before they are released."
"The product’s performance got worse with newer releases."
"We would like to declare a specific number of devices that an employee or a user can use to access their Wi-Fi."
"Improvements to the GUI, such as being able to search in the Mobility Master, would be nice."
"Our customers ask for a security portfolio, which the tool doesn't have."
"There is a lot of information for users about the product, but it needs to be better organized so that solutions are easier to find."
"The protocols can be tunneled, but on a global basis, not on an interface, and this is a feature that should be added."
"The Virtual Chassis Fabric is kind of complicated to troubleshoot sometimes. On the MPLS side, they're good — they're fine for the pseudo-wires and stuff—but they need more work on the LAN. It is difficult to troubleshoot their LAN technologies like Virtual Chassis."
"In an upcoming release, Juniper Ethernet Switches could improve by having more microservices."
"The solution is a bit costly compared to other products."
"Jupiter Switches' configuration is a little difficult to understand."
"Some areas of technical support could be better."
"Juniper's support could be much better and faster."
"We are undergoing a migration to software-defined networking. Different vendors have to integrate with each other and we are not seeing this type of capability within Juniper. We are getting left behind in this technology trend by staying with this solution. Juniper is also losing a bit of market share because of this."
