We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"In terms of reporting, in terms of all the user reports, it's very rich.""The AI capabilities of Mist Wireless are superior to other OEMs.""You can easily monitor, manage, and cover all your IT equipment.""It provides private network access, helping us protect our company’s devices.""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.""The artificial intelligence feature is very good.""With Mist, every Wednesday they roll out new features.""The most useful feature of Juniper Wireless AP is the reporting Marvis."

More Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points Pros →

"The app and the provisioning are the best features of the product. It was really impressive that I was able to just provision it remotely. I didn't have to be on-site with my friend, and we were just able to get everything up and operational. So, the app is great. It sends me notifications when things are down, and it tells me how everything is doing.""Regarding access points, the customer typically considers low-cost plans, and Ruckus Unleashed Access Points are commonly used. These access points are managed through the Microsoft console and can be accessed either with or without ports. The management is done through a controller. The main benefits customers see include cost-effectiveness, especially for those with budget constraints. Aruba, in particular, provides a good user experience. Some customers might choose Huawei, but enterprise access points are also considered. Additionally, the unified access point capabilities are valuable, allowing management from the same account. However, there is a limitation of twenty-five access points, and if a customer requires more, they need to create another site or account. If the customer exceeds twenty-five access points, they need to generate another site or virtual business to manage additional access points, as the external number is limited to twenty-five.""The product is scalable. It has 20 users.""Its technical support is excellent.""The coverage Aruba provides across the physical area is much better. Most probably because of the new technology, the 4x4 antenna, and everything around it. It's just a much better, easier to use, and easier to manage product.""The solution is scalable.""The initial setup is easy.""The most valuable feature of Aruba Instant On Access Points is they are easy to manage."

More Aruba Instant On Access Points Pros →

"You can add a lot of features, such as cloud, integration with IoT, etc. They have a lot of options available but the top feature is the performance.""I am impressed with the tool's seamless integration.""It can scale.""Huawei Wireless's most valuable feature is smart antenna, a combination of informative capabilities and advanced technology.""The solution is easily managed compared to other wireless solutions.""The most valuable thing about Huawei Wireless is that it is one of the cheapest WiFi 6 systems. Its price is very nice. The other WiFi systems cost about 15% more.""It is easy to set up.""The most valuable feature of the solution is its simplicity."

More Huawei Wireless Pros →

Cons
"The price could be better.""I need a bit more time with it before criticizing the features.""The pricing should be made cheaper.""Improving third-party integration is key for Juniper Mist's next release.""If you want to do more specific stuff, it's a bit limited.""The solution is expensive.""They should include SD-WAN features to it.""Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points’ support services need improvement."

More Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points Cons →

"When I first deployed the solution, I couldn't use a tagged VLAN for the management. It might already have been fixed in a recent firmware upgrade.""The solution can be more integrated with other brands.""It is scalable to a certain degree but not nearly as scalable and robust as your enterprise-grade solutions.""The solution's range could be better.""The tool's pricing is not good.""The tool is priced high.""I would like to see a feature that blocks, increases, or decreases bandwidth capacity for devices.""Software-wise, I would like to have a way of moving APs from site to site and wish there would be a way to add more APs to one site. I know the limit is 25 APs per site and I wish there were more."

More Aruba Instant On Access Points Cons →

"There could be a console port for demonstration or configuration purposes.""I have already integrated the radius system with Cisco and Huawei products, but it can be further improved to be more user-friendly and easier to use.""Improving the visibility, control offered, and cloud management would all be very helpful. Also how you can monetize the information you get from Wi-Fi controllers should be improved.""They should include more security features in the solution.""They should actually first test the equipment thoroughly and then launch it. Sometimes, things come out too soon, before they are ready.""The solution could be easier to use.""This solution has issues with bugs and instability.""While technically proficient, enhancing communication skills would greatly benefit the customer experience."

Pricing-wise, Huawei is very aggressive and competitive if you compare them to competitors, like Cisco, Aruba, and Ruckus.
