"The most useful feature of Juniper Wireless AP is the reporting Marvis."
"It provides private network access, helping us protect our company’s devices."
"Overall, we've been very pleased with the performance."
"The simplicity is great."
"With Mist, every Wednesday they roll out new features."
"In terms of reporting, in terms of all the user reports, it's very rich."
"The artificial intelligence feature is very good."
"The most valuable features of the solution are its range and stability."
"They all have controllers built in, and we manage them all with a web-based management tool."
"The after-sales services are helpful."
"We can scale it if we need to."
"The web-based administration is what I find most beneficial."
"This solution is extremely user-friendly; it is very easy to configure and work with."
"It offers features that are essential for an efficient and high-performance wireless LAN deployment, where capacity, coverage, and quality are optimized, and frequency bands are selected based on the specific needs of the network."
"It provides good support remotely, and it's very easy to configure."
"Its ability to be cloud-managed is the most valuable feature so if there's a reconfiguration or an issue, we have excellent visibility into the network and we can usually resolve the problem online without having to go onsite."
"I have found it to be stable."
"It enables quick deployment within all branches for the users."
"The solution provides good coverage and identity management. Additionally, the user interface is straightforward."
"The flexibility, since it's a cloud service, is the most valuable feature of this solution."
"It's a stable product."
"The most valuable features of Cisco Meraki Wireless LAN are the ease of use and the ability to manage it from the cloud."
"It is easy to manage and configure. The dashboard of Meraki is easy to use."
"They should include SD-WAN features to it."
"The pricing should be made cheaper."
"Juniper Wireless AP can improve by continually improving its reporting and integration with other systems."
"Juniper Wireless Access Points (AP Series) could improve if the MIST platform had a built-in master key. This would be an advantage."
"If you want to do more specific stuff, it's a bit limited."
"Improving third-party integration is key for Juniper Mist's next release."
"The solution is expensive."
"The price could be better."
"The capacity and coverage could be improved."
"The solution should be scalable, offering better pricing options as we optimize the network for coverage, capacity, and quality"
"The platform's cost needs improvement."
"What could be improved in Cambium Networks Wireless LAN is its efficiency in large areas because we noticed that there's a need to increase the APs in large rooms or spaces for the Wi-Fi to be more efficient. Another area for improvement in Cambium Networks Wireless LAN is bandwidth management. This is a feature that Meraki has that allows you to control user bandwidth, so my company has a pilot project to test Meraki Wireless LAN. Bandwidth control is an additional feature I'd like to see in Cambium Networks Wireless LAN as that would make the solution better."
"I believe there's room for improvement in the configuration options for point-to-point setups directly from the cloud management interface. Currently, the process feels a bit clunky—you monitor the unit in the cloud but need to make configuration changes by editing a text file, then downloading it back to the unit. This method can be error-prone, as even a small mistake in the text file could disrupt the unit's configuration."
"Our areas for improvement would be a refresh with the most recent technology available."
"If they could include some sort of web filtering, in-built antivirus, anti-malware, and data stream scanning in the next release."
"We would like this product to have more information data sheets available. At present we cannot easily access details around the full capability of a piece of equipment."
"The technical support from Cisco is good, but they can improve themselves in some areas. Sometimes it takes a while to provide a solution or an answer to our problem."
"Despite being enabled, I've encountered an issue where the alert main dashboard fails to detect when any of the devices go down. Hence, the tool's notification feature should improve. We have also faced issues with integration."
"Technical support can be improved, as well as having more detailed capabilities to go without using an API."
"They're great. If there's anything that they need to change, it is just simplifying the site to which you go to make changes on the admin side."
"Currently, with Meraki, a controller is required to direct guest and user traffic to the internet. Improvement is needed in the portal for enhanced visibility into activities. Additionally, addressing multiple bugs, especially those arising with new releases, is crucial to ensure system stability."
"When we are using SSID roaming, it is not flexible in terms of which AP it connects to."
"Integration with the corporate LAN where Catalyst products are installed is a major challenge."
"Cisco Meraki must improve the integration between its own family of products."
