Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The solution is pretty generic and easy to use.""The simplicity is great.""The most valuable feature of the solution is Marvis, the AI-driven network management system.""The solution is stable.""In terms of reporting, in terms of all the user reports, it's very rich.""The artificial intelligence feature is very good.""The AI capabilities of Mist Wireless are superior to other OEMs.""With Mist, every Wednesday they roll out new features."

"When an error or alert happens, I receive it in the application. I do not have to be there to know if something is wrong.""The most valuable feature of Aruba Instant On Access Points is they are easy to manage.""The initial setup is very simple.""The solution is scalable.""Its technical support is excellent.""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 initial setup is easy.""It's super user-friendly."

"The initial setup is not complicated.""When this solution is set up, it is solid. It offers fast deployment.""We use Omada Access Points for the network and Wi-Fi.""This product is easy to use.""Omada Access Points are very good in terms of wired technologies and wired connectivity.""The pricing is reasonable.""Its sturdiness and cost-effectiveness are the most valuable features.""The most valuable feature of the solution stems from the fact that it is easy to deploy and reliable."

Cons
"There is room for improvement in terms of support and installation.""The pricing is very high in the Indian market.""Juniper Wireless Access Points (AP Series) could improve if the MIST platform had a built-in master key. This would be an advantage.""The product should include adaptive Wi-Fi to show a more accurate location.""The price could be better.""I need a bit more time with it before criticizing the features.""Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points’ support services need improvement.""If you want to do more specific stuff, it's a bit limited."

More Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points Cons →

"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.""The solution's range could be better.""The limited functionality of the mobile app restricts its use primarily to small and medium-sized setups, making it less suitable for enterprise-level solutions.""I believe there's room for improvement in the validation process, especially for customers facing compliance issues when managing access points from the cloud. It would be beneficial if the access points could also be managed from an on-premises controller. Regarding additional features, customers express interest in enhancing the controller, specifically improving the capability to manage a higher number of access points from the same controller. This feature is crucial for better scalability. Another feature that customers would appreciate is the ability to increase the number of access points. However, the current process for obtaining this permission can be time-consuming, and customers would like to see improvements in this regard.""The tool is priced high.""The tool's pricing is not good.""I would like to see a feature that blocks, increases, or decreases bandwidth capacity for devices.""The product's machine or equipment can cater to around 20 connections and cannot go beyond 50 simultaneous connections, because of which I think the tool's scalability is limited."

More Aruba Instant On Access Points Cons →

"We have some issues with stability. It is not so fast. That is the main problem.""It's better for smaller organizations. This would not work for enterprises. It is not very scalable.""It is less affordable for smaller businesses.""There is room for wider improvements and additional features to enhance managing capabilities.""The technical support could be improved.""TP-Link Auranet EAP is not very efficient, they need to improve it.""The price of the solution is an area requiring improvement since I want the solution to be made available at a cheaper price than its current market price.""There should be more remote support for the mobile application."
