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 most valuable feature of the solution is Marvis, the AI-driven network management system."
"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."
"In terms of reporting, in terms of all the user reports, it's very rich."

"The most valuable feature of Juniper Mist is the Virtual Network Assistant, powered by artificial intelligence."

"I can implement it at small sites, and I can also implement it at mid-sized locations. It is very flexible. It is really nice and useful for customers who have many small sites."
"I find network management features related to monitoring Wi-Fi usage and visited sites particularly valuable. Content filtering is also important to prevent access to malicious or inappropriate websites. It is reliable and simple."
"If you don't need heavy-duty filtering and things like that, it's a cheap solution. And, you have central management, and it works."
"The most valuable feature of Aruba Instant is its cloud capability, which allows us to manage it through the cloud."
"The installation is very simple. We've limited the security feature, which I found valuable, and that allows two separate networks, one for the company and one for a guest network. During installation, it is very easy at that point to divide it."
"The access it grants to wifi is the solution's most valuable feature."
"The coverage of the solution is great."
"The deployment guides that we get from Aruba are excellent."
"AI is the most valuable feature."
"It's really easy to provision and support. Those are its main features."
"The Marvis feature of Mist AI, an artificial intelligence tool, is very useful."
"Regarding features, the solution seems to be very intuitive."

"Has an extremely good feature set."
"Ability to control the access points by groups."
"The price could be better."
"Juniper Wireless Access Points (AP Series) could improve if the MIST platform had a built-in master key. This would be an advantage."

"The network planner could be improved. You should be able to import a floor plan, and the application should suggest the optimal placement of your devices."
"Aruba Instant should not have a limit on users for future releases."
"This solution would be improved if they supplied free software controllers."
"The Central cloud management (optional) is far behind the competition in features, ease of use, and dependability. I have tried Aruba Central a few times over the years and, in my option, it is not where it needs to be for serious consideration in production environments."
"The management component is difficult to understand and not very user-friendly which increases deployment time."
"The support offered by Aruba is slow."
"Mist AI and Cloud should be marketed more and focus on making partners in the industry."
"The user experience should be improved. It's not user-friendly."
"There seems to be different versions of standards used in the wireless access points. In the future, it would be helpful if the solution could come up with some kind of universal standard for all devices and all access points."
"The solution doesn't provide mail notifications currently."
"There are some technical issues that may require attention"
"It would be beneficial to have support for the Chinese language."
"Sometimes it takes a lot of time for the access point to connect with the cloud."
