This enables us to be proactive in providing support and ensures smooth operations for our clients.""The after-sales services are helpful."

Cons
"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 product should include adaptive Wi-Fi to show a more accurate location.""Juniper Wireless AP can improve by continually improving its reporting and integration with other systems.""The pricing is very high in the Indian market.""It would be helpful to have even stronger security features to help protect against interference from other nearby access points that aren't part of our network.""The solution is expensive.""Juniper Wireless Access Points (AP Series) could improve if the MIST platform had a built-in master key. This would be an advantage."

More Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points Cons →

"The platform's cost needs improvement.""Not a lot of technical engineers are familiar with Cambium Networks Wireless LAN. They are familiar with implementing and using other solutions such as Aruba. Therefore, Cambium Networks needs to be more visible in the marketplace.""The solution should be scalable, offering better pricing options as we optimize the network for coverage, capacity, and quality""If they could include some sort of web filtering, in-built antivirus, anti-malware, and data stream scanning in the next release.""The capacity and coverage could be improved.""The solution’s technical support could be faster.""The product pricing needs improvement.""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."

More Cambium Networks Wireless LAN Cons →

"The onsite controllers are not as good as the cloud controller. I would also like ExtremeWireless to add web filtering on the access point. This feature is available from other vendors but not ExtremeWireless.""The current product line is very high-level and is well suited for enterprise-level organizations, but they need a more cost-effective solution for smaller businesses.""It is a subscription model, so it is maybe a bit pricey.""The main area for improvement is the company's local visibility.""In the next release, I would like to see more security features.""The ExtremeWireless WiNG Access Point on-premise is not as good as the cloud and many of my customers are switching. It is easier for my clients to manage everything from the cloud. I currently use a model of the controller that does not support any cloud functionality.""The management portal is in need of improvement.""Technical support is an area that needs to be improved."

  • More Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "High-end products from Cambium PTP, point-to-point radio, maybe cost around $1000 per year."
  • "It's a good price, but not the best price. It's on the higher end of what I would call affordable for small to medium-sized businesses."
  • "The pricing for Cambium Networks Wireless LAN is much cheaper than Meraki. For example, I have to pay $200 for one AP from Cambium, while for a Meraki AP, I have to pay $450 including the user license. Meraki has a higher price over Cambium Networks Wireless LAN."
  • "In general, the way we purchased it was we purchased it at the beginning, was with five years of support, once our initial cost was met, we didn't have to pay for anything else."
  • "The licensing costs for this solution are calculated per asset, and depending on the model of the equipment, it starts at $230, and goes up to roughly $1,200. The benefit of this solution is that there are no hidden costs; no cost for managing the equipment, and no cost for maintaining the equipment during its usable lifetime."

  • "The purchase of 350 access points cost approximately $250,000 USD."
  • "The solution is priced well and we currently are only paying for a license for maintenance."
  • "Our access points device is at its end of life. I can buy one more and then I must buy a new device, but if it is a new device it will not support the old virtual appliance. I would need to upgrade our virtual appliance to the next version or build a new virtual appliance with new devices, and it's not good for us. The overall licensing subscription could be better."
  • "The price of the solution overall is expensive. Additionally, the controller and license are expensive. We pay for an annual subscription."
  • "Extreme isn't the most expensive, but it's not a low-cost solution, and because there are no big volumes, you don't receive significant discounts, making the final price higher."
  • "I rate the price of Extreme Wireless a three out of five."
  • "It's not as expensive as some and is scalable to our needs."
