We performed a comparison between Aruba Instant On Access Points and Ubiquiti WLAN based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Wireless LAN solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI.
"The solution is pretty generic and easy to use."
"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."
"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 most valuable feature of the solution is Marvis, the AI-driven network management system."
"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."
"It's super user-friendly."
"The configuration is very simple."
"The product is easy to set up, providing value for time since it is very quick."
"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 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."
"It's really easy to set up. And, you don't have to pay for the cloud solution. That's really interesting for our clients. And the other thing is, the roaming is also quite good."
"The solution is scalable."
"Ubiquiti WLAN's best feature is the free controller system software."
"You can save backups of this controller locally and then I can export it to wherever I want."
"The solution works well and in the short time I have used it, I've enjoyed its capabilities."
"Its most valuable feature is pricing."
"The initial setup is easy."
"Ubiquiti WLAN's most valuable features are that it works well in a hybrid environment and isn't heavy on resources."
"Anyone can buy the product off the shelf and configure it."
"Ubiquiti WLAN has good performance."
"Improving third-party integration is key for Juniper Mist's next release."
"The price could be better."
"The pricing should be made cheaper."
"I need a bit more time with it before criticizing the features."
"They should include SD-WAN features to it."
"If you want to do more specific stuff, it's a bit limited."
"The pricing is very high in the Indian market."
"There is room for improvement in terms of support and installation."
"It is scalable to a certain degree but not nearly as scalable and robust as your enterprise-grade solutions."
"The tool's pricing is not good."
"If anything, its reporting could be improved."
"While it is mostly scalable, there are some limitations."
"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 limited functionality of the mobile app restricts its use primarily to small and medium-sized setups, making it less suitable for enterprise-level solutions."
"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."
"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 solution is stable but could improve."
"The strength of the signal from the access points could be improved."
"The product’s bandwidth could be better."
"Switching devices requires reconfiguration from scratch."
"The solution should improve stability."
"Ubiquiti WLAN needs to expand the models with external antennas. It needs to improve stability."
"If they can integrate or release a single platform because, currently, there are two different platforms for switches and routers. So, maintaining just one unified platform, like, for example, unifying the models or brands, and avoiding separate platforms for edge switches, edge routers, and other Ubiquiti products, would simplify the integration and implementation process."
"When they release new products, you should know if there backward compatibility, or do you have to replace the entire forklift, It is useful to understand their strategy and where they are headed."
