"The solution allows you to see the SNMP packets, the DPI packets, and the SNMP server.""I have worked with different solutions in the past and switched to Alcatel-Lucent OmniAccess Stellar because of its quick installation time. It requires no additional preparation. The product is highly stable. I rate it a nine out of ten. The support of this solution is great. The timeliness of their responses is crucial for me. When I raise an issue, I can count on receiving a prompt reply, eliminating the need for extensive online searches or phone calls.""The features aren't much different than those in Aruba, but deployment is easier to configure and the pricing is better.""One feature that differentiates Alcatel-Lucent OmniAccess Stellar from some other vendors is the fact that on-premise OmniVista licenses are perpetual.""The initial setup is pretty straightforward.""There is a definite ROI with this product. This product creates a baseline of technology that will be a means to grow from five to ten years from now. By using this solution, it is an investment on the installation of that baseline.""We are very satisfied with the performance.""Express in default configuration mode with first turn-on is easy to set up and deploy from a medium installation standpoint."

More ADTRAN Bluesocket Wireless Cons →

"It needs to be faster in order to process and transmit bigger packets.""The current implementation of our Guest Access network in isolation for Express mode is very complicated in comparison with leading market solutions.""There are occasional OS bugs.""Better integration with third-party systems is what our customers are expecting in the future.""Alcatel-Lucent OmniAccess Stellar's radio management side could be improved.""If the customers plan to go on the cloud side, they need encryption and daily communications from a security perspective.""It is not possible to integrate Alcatel-Lucent OmniAccess Stellar with third-party software like Opera, a property management system (PMS).""I would prefer to have the integrated heat map feature provided by the basic controller in the Solution instead of purchasing an external one. Accessing this capability directly within the controller's access point would be convenient."

  • More ADTRAN Bluesocket Wireless Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "The price is in the range of other brands like Cisco, maybe a little cheaper but you get the same features, facilities, and security. Licensing is something Alcatel is making changes to.

  • "We find the price comparable to other products on the market."
  • "The price of this product is average and it is a one-time, perpetual license."
  • "It's pricey, but better than similar solutions."
