"The AI capabilities of Mist Wireless are superior to other OEMs."
"You can easily monitor, manage, and cover all your IT equipment."
"With Mist, every Wednesday they roll out new features."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is Marvis, the AI-driven network management system."
"The solution is very secure."
"The solution is pretty generic and easy to use."
"It provides private network access, helping us protect our company’s devices."
"Juniper Mist offers valuable features like comprehensive network insight, granular policy control, fast device setup, strong security, and efficient SSL traffic management."
"The firewall integration is very important for the security of the connection."
"We're using SD-WAN at all of our locations now, which helps increase and aggregate and lower response time and improve application performance."
"I found that It's really good when comparing it to any other product or it is much better in terms of features that the customer requires."
"The security is a valuable feature."
"With Fortinet, there is a feature called Network-In-Control. It's the AP controller that decides what the clients are going to connect to... Even though your phone sees, let's say, two APs, since the wireless controller has visibility into and access across all the APs, it knows the best AP for the client to connect to. This way, the controller makes sure that none of the APs is over-crowded, and the spectrum is used properly."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the management."
"The Fortinet FortiWLM system can be controlled through the cloud controller, which is convenient when the solution is not installed in our environment, as it allows us to manage the entire WiFi or access points and provides more adaptability."
"Security is the feature we like most from Fortinet. In general, their security architecture is really great, because it involves everything: firewalls, wireless LANs, the user. Everything is really secure."
"Ubiquiti WLAN is a reliable, stable, and robust solution."
"I have found Ubiquiti WLAN scalable. We have approximately 200 users using the solution in my organization and do not plan to increase usage."
"would rate the scalability a nine out of ten. It is very scalable."
"Ubiquiti WLAN is stable."
"Its most valuable feature is pricing."
"Ubiquiti WLAN's best feature is the free controller system software."
"The product is simple to use in terms of GUI and dashboard."
"The pricing is very competitive and the feature sets are very good. It compares well against more expensive options."
"The solution is expensive."
"The product should include adaptive Wi-Fi to show a more accurate location."
"Juniper Wireless Access Points (AP Series) could improve if the MIST platform had a built-in master key. This would be an advantage."
"They should include SD-WAN features to it."
"There is room for improvement in terms of support and installation."
"Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points’ support services need improvement."
"The pricing is very high in the Indian market."
"Improvement is needed in the user-friendliness of Juniper Mist, particularly in enhancing the interaction with AI features."
"The interface could certainly do with some improvement. We have other customers with WiFi networks, and they always use Ubiquiti. With Ubiquiti, it's a much better user interface, and it is much easier to configure."
"Cost is something that could be improved, but you have to pay for what you get."
"The solution should improve user capacity."
"The pricing model can be improved to encourage use by small business and individuals and the hardware could stand to be redesigned."
"They need to do more with their marketing. That's what's wrong with them. Nobody knows they do all this other stuff. I love the product. For an enterprise-level system, you never have to explain why you're recommending Fortinet, whereas you might have to do that if you want to use the Ubiquiti Professional or the new Netgear line, but you don't have to explain Fortinet. It has been remarkable to work with."
"Areas for improvement would be the compatibility with Apple products and cross-platform integration."
"This solution should be easier to set up in a production environment."
"The range needs some improvement and also the stability."
"Largely we're happy with the product, however, the firmware deployments could maybe be managed a little bit differently."
"The product's area of concern revolves around its lack of support."
"The strength of the signal from the access points could be improved."
"The coverage could be increased."
"They could enhance their products by integrating cloud access into each device."
"Switching devices requires reconfiguration from scratch."
"The product needs to improve the user interface in the migration from old to new versions."
"The solution should support a larger bandwidth or distance between the access points and the main stations."
