Cons
"Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points’ support services need improvement.""The pricing is very high in the Indian market.""I need a bit more time with it before criticizing the features.""If you want to do more specific stuff, it's a bit limited.""They should include SD-WAN features to it.""Juniper Wireless Access Points (AP Series) could improve if the MIST platform had a built-in master key. This would be an advantage.""Juniper Wireless AP can improve by continually improving its reporting and integration with other systems.""The product should include adaptive Wi-Fi to show a more accurate location."

More Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points Cons →

"Avaya's APs were OEM with firmware provided by another firm. Reporting issues were slow and painful."

More Avaya Wireless [EOL] Cons →

"The internet speed is high within environments. As you move further away from the access point, there is a decline in speed. Omada or Ruckus don’t have the speed degradation as you move away from the access point.""It requires a few tweaks in order to stabilize it. Its portal is complex. Cisco solutions are complex in general.""In the next release, I would like to see some AI capability deployed. Other competitors like Mist and Juniper already have it. So, AI features need to be introduced next year.""The pricing of the solution is expensive if you compare it to other competitors.""The solution could be cheaper and have a better web interface.""Cisco is costlier relative to other solutions.""No product can be a ten out of ten and there are some security issues.""The current issue with Cisco is I don't have centralized management."

  • "It is an expensive solution."
  • "Expensive."
  • "As far as I know Cisco is very competitive, price-wise. Talk to your third-party vendor. It all depends on the company size - how many employees, how big the building is. If it's wireless, and you have only 50 employees but you're using a large building floor, in that case you need many access points. But if you have 50 employees using two or three rooms, then you probably don't need it and it's going to be high density, so there is a different design. So you need to talk to a subject matter expert. Talk to them and design accordingly."
  • "Cisco is more on the expensive side, as compared to Aruba, but I must say Cisco's quality is unmatched, for sure."
  • "I am not a fan of Cisco's software pricing model. Their management software is far too expensive."
  • "The pricing is high. It could be cheaper."
  • "Never pay the full GPL price."
  • "Pricing is a bit on the high side compared to its competitors but we have to consider the support and usages of the solution. Licensing is now RTU and smart licensing. We need three types of licenses. One for each of the: APs, HA, controller."
