"The artificial intelligence feature is very good."
"The most valuable feature of Juniper Mist is the Virtual Network Assistant, powered by artificial intelligence."
"The most useful feature of Juniper Wireless AP is the reporting Marvis."
"The AI capabilities of Mist Wireless are superior to other OEMs."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is Marvis, the AI-driven network management system."
"It provides private network access, helping us protect our company’s devices."
"You can easily monitor, manage, and cover all your IT equipment."
"The solution is pretty generic and easy to use."
"The product offers educational licenses that are priced very reasonably."
"The technical support is excellent."
"The integration is great."
"Cisco Wireless products are easy to use."
"Identity PSK helps save SSIDs."
"This product has a long life and you don't have any issues with it."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward."
"I'm very satisfied with Cisco's technical support."
"Anyone can buy the product off the shelf and configure it."
"The solution is scalable."
"The initial setup was very straightforward."
"Ubiquiti WLAN is stable."
"The solution is very easy to install."
"Firstly, I initially purchased the device to build a VPN, and one very valuable feature for me was the ability to create a layer two VPN, which was available on the legacy ER router. It allowed me to expand a subnet to a remote site, which was essential for my setup. Additionally, I appreciated that the CLI of the router was similar to other Juniper products that I was familiar with."
"It is similar to the switches, where it is one of those things where it just works. They are very reliable."
"The ease of use and simplicity of the solution is its most valuable feature. This tool is best suited for small environments."
"Juniper Wireless Access Points (AP Series) could improve if the MIST platform had a built-in master key. This would be an advantage."
"The price could be better."
"The pricing is very high in the Indian market."
"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."
"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 pricing should be made cheaper."
"And from an administration point of view, it is a very tedious job to check on each and every control. We have around 30 or 40 controls in our network."
"The coverage area of Cisco Wireless could improve. Additionally, the reports when a problem arises could be better, such as how it is done in Aruba Wireless solutions. In the Aruba wireless solutions, there are reports that are provided regarding uploads, downloads, and other internet activity that are useful. If this feature was added to Cisco that would be a benefit."
"They should introduce zero interference capabilities."
"If needs to provide more visibility. It can detect and do it, but as technicians we don't have a lot of visibility into seeing exactly what's happening. It doesn't give us a lot of log information for us to troubleshoot. They probably have additional software you need to purchase to get that kind of information. But I think not all companies can afford additional software to see those kinds of details. So if the wireless controller already had, built-in, those types of things for the technician or wireless engineer, it would be more attractive for the end-user."
"We've recently had hardware issues which have caused us some problems."
"Assurance capabilities must be improved."
"If they could offer better coverage, we'd be much happier."
"The installation is not too difficult but the solution could improve by making the configuration easier."
"The solution is stable but could improve."
"Cloud management is one feature that should be included in the next release. This tool is best suited for small environments, not large and complex ones."
"Ubiquiti WLAN only supports 2.4GHz Wi-Fi radio and would be improved by including support for 5GHz."
"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."
"The solution could improve by having a cloud version. A cloud version is the easiest to configure anywhere in the world."
"The product's area of concern revolves around its lack of support."
"The statistics you can get on it are a bit limited from what I have seen so far."
"The support needs improvement. The official support is kind of complex. It's not that straightforward compared to Cisco and Aruba."
