Pros
"It provides private network access, helping us protect our company’s devices.""The most useful feature of Juniper Wireless AP is the reporting Marvis.""The artificial intelligence feature is very good.""The simplicity is great.""In terms of reporting, in terms of all the user reports, it's very rich.""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.""You can easily monitor, manage, and cover all your IT equipment."

"We are very satisfied with the performance.""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.""Express in default configuration mode with first turn-on is easy to set up and deploy from a medium installation standpoint.""One feature that differentiates Alcatel-Lucent OmniAccess Stellar from some other vendors is the fact that on-premise OmniVista licenses are perpetual.""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 solution allows you to see the SNMP packets, the DPI packets, and the SNMP server.""The features aren't much different than those in Aruba, but deployment is easier to configure and the pricing is better."

More Alcatel-Lucent OmniAccess Stellar Pros →

"The solution offers very good value for money.""That would be more of engineering at this point. I'm from more of the business side. It's pretty much doing the standard installations with portal integrations and integrations with the Mac.""It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution.""The solution's roaming feature is very nice. When you move to another place it automatically changes the access point. It's one of the most valuable features.""All of the features are valuable in Huawei Wireless.""We've found the solution to be quite stable.""Huawei Wireless has controllers inside the switches.""We can use an access point to broadcast multiple SSIDs, assign dynamic VLANs, and configure dynamic access control lists (ACLs)."

Cons
"Juniper Wireless Access Points (AP Series) could improve if the MIST platform had a built-in master key. This would be an advantage.""Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points’ support services need improvement.""The product should include adaptive Wi-Fi to show a more accurate location.""The price could be better.""The pricing is very high in the Indian market.""Improving third-party integration is key for Juniper Mist's next release.""The solution is expensive.""The pricing should be made cheaper."

More Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points Cons →

"If the customers plan to go on the cloud side, they need encryption and daily communications from a security perspective.""There are occasional OS bugs.""Alcatel-Lucent OmniAccess Stellar's radio management side could be improved.""It is not possible to integrate Alcatel-Lucent OmniAccess Stellar with third-party software like Opera, a property management system (PMS).""The current implementation of our Guest Access network in isolation for Express mode is very complicated in comparison with leading market solutions.""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.""Better integration with third-party systems is what our customers are expecting in the future.""It needs to be faster in order to process and transmit bigger packets."

More Alcatel-Lucent OmniAccess Stellar Cons →

"The speed could be a bit better.""The manageability could be improved.""Cloud integration needs to be improved.""The solution should offer more integration with third-party servers and devices.""Support could be a bit faster.""What needs improvement in Huawei Wireless is after-sales support. I've faced many after-sales support issues, so that's the area I want Huawei to improve. Having an SLA with customers is what I'd suggest to Huawei Wireless.""As such, there are no problems. It has been good. There were some issues with the network design, but that is not specifically related to the product. We had to make some improvements in the network design. The product as such is fine, and there are no big issues. We are using the latest version having most of the features available in the industry, so the specs are very high. If something new comes up new in the industry, it needs to be incorporated into the product.""While technically proficient, enhancing communication skills would greatly benefit the customer experience."

  • "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. A few years ago you would buy a WLAN solution from Alcatel for half the price of Cisco, but you would spend the same amount on licensing. Today this is different and the licensing is cheaper."
  • "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."
  • "Alcatel-Lucent OmniAccess Stellar is a mid-range solution with respect to pricing."

  • "We don't have any control on the pricing. This comes from Huawei in India. Pricing-wise, Huawei is very aggressive and competitive if you compare them to competitors, like Cisco, Aruba, and Ruckus. The Indian Huawei team tells us, "Just pick up the order and design the infrastructure. If there are any pricing challenge, we'll work on that and we will try to match things 100 percent.""
  • "Huawei comes at a cheaper price than competitors like Cisco and Aruba."
  • "It is not monthly. It is a kind of perpetual licensing. We pay once depending on the kind of services we need to deliver. There are no licensing fees."
  • "Its price is very good. This wireless system totally costs about 30,000 euros, and some of the other solutions cost about 45,000 euros. It is a difference of 15,000 euros, which is quite a lot of money."
  • "The price is good for the solution and there is a license required."
  • "It is very cost-effective."
  • "Extras come with a surcharge."
  • "The price of Huawei Wireless is very good."
