Find out what your peers are saying about HPE Aruba Networking, Cisco, Ruckus and others in Wireless LAN."The most valuable feature of Juniper Wireless Access Points (AP Series) is the ability to troubleshoot ports on the network.

"The AI capabilities of Mist Wireless are superior to other OEMs."
"The simplicity is great."
"The most useful feature of Juniper Wireless AP is the reporting Marvis."
"The solution is stable."
"The tool's most valuable feature is Captive Portal, which we employ for our guest network. It enables us to create a separate virtual subnet for guests, ensuring their network traffic remains isolated from our office network. Another valuable feature is its role-based access control. This functionality allows us to assign different access privileges to users based on their roles within the organization."
"The coverage of the solution is great."
"The most valuable feature is that it provides a redundant wireless connection for a client."
"The central management of multiple devices is the solution's most valuable aspect."
"This is a very solid product. It is very powerful."
"I like that the solution is not complex."
"Has many advanced features: Built-in firewall, local radius, application visibility and control, not locked into support agreements."
"What I like best about Aruba Instant is that it serves as a virtual controller, so you don't need to buy other equipment to manage all your access points. I also like that the solution is easy to use."
"The tech who handles Extreme IQ tells me it's easy to use and learn. He felt like it was pretty intuitive. It comes with solid training materials. He also has talked about the security features that give you as much or as little control as you want."
"The dashboards are great and the user interface is quite intuitive."
"This solution's most valuable feature is its short deployment time."
"When we deployed the new IP that is managed wirelessly in the cloud, it fixed the problems. Now, we don't have any more reports, and everything works fine."
"The cloud management gives us the tools and reports that we need to monitor and troubleshoot the network."
"The technical support for this solution is good."
"Ability to assign zero trust policies from the user."
"The feature that I like to most is unified management in a multitenant environment, where we can manage all our customers with thousands of devices (routers, switches, VPNs, and APs)."
"If you want to do more specific stuff, it's a bit limited."
"The pricing is very high in the Indian market."
"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."
"The product should include adaptive Wi-Fi to show a more accurate location."
"Juniper Wireless Access Points (AP Series) could improve if the MIST platform had a built-in master key. This would be an advantage."
"The solution is expensive."
"The tool's support quality has changed since HPE acquired it. It is also impossible to tell the log dates."
"The management component is difficult to understand and not very user-friendly which increases deployment time."
"There is a problem in the preferred portal access points when I'm using the portal."
"The product's high cost is an area where improvements are required."
"Aruba Instant is a simple and scalable solution that works well, but the costs you incur from access points could be cheaper."
"My biggest problem with Aruba Instant was the DHCP implementation. The DHCP server needs to ping an IP address to connect to the internet. In some cases, we don't have a DHCP server in the network, and it was really a problem."
"I believe there's room for improvement in monitoring, especially when troubleshooting issues. Currently, there's limited intelligence around monitoring. It needs to improve stability and scalability."
"The tool needs to enhance its security features."
"A mobile app would be awesome."
"Browser load time for the cloud is long and needs improvement."
"I would like to see more security features such as NAC integrated to the solution. This would allow customers to be able to control all other users under one dashboard."
"The solution will show us that there are some issues, but when we try to find those issues, we can't see them."
"Pricing could be improved. It could be lower."
"ExtremeCloud IQ’s user interface needs to be improved, and its current bugs need to be fixed."
"They can improve just the onboarding process. More user information about the introduction to the product would be helpful. It would be good if they have a better user introduction to the new product because it is different than the prior version."
"Integrating the network access control solution can be complex, as it essentially combines two separate products."
