"The Guest feature is pretty good.""We are using Cisco access point 2802, and they are very reliable.""The ability to make different types of networks, such as land networks, is the most valuable part of the solution.""The product is easy to manage.""The most valuable features of Cisco Wireless are the level of control and management. I am happy with it.""It is a stable solution.""One of the main advantages of Cisco Wireless is its DNAT compatibility. When we have dynamic segmentation, or the DNAT enabled on the LAN, Cisco Access Point integrates with the DNAT architecture. Aruba Switches cannot integrate with the Cisco DNAT architecture.""It is a very scalable solution."

Cons
"Juniper Wireless Access Points (AP Series) could improve if the MIST platform had a built-in master key. This would be an advantage.""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.""There is room for improvement in terms of support and installation.""If you want to do more specific stuff, it's a bit limited.""The price could be better.""The solution is expensive.""Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points’ support services need improvement."

More Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points Cons →

"Older versions are complex to configure and implement.""In the next release, they should add a better reporting feature. The reporting will tell you if you have a problem. That will make the diagnostics easier.""The solution is stable but it could be improved. However, this could be because there are not enough APs.""It requires a few tweaks in order to stabilize it. Its portal is complex. Cisco solutions are complex in general.""The pricing could be reduced.""This solution is very expensive, which means we often have to go for cheaper options instead.""It should be fully compatible with other devices.""The flexibility on the controllers isn't that great."

More Cisco Wireless Cons →

"Omada's ordering platform could be improved, though. Some of their distributors are a pain to work with.""The solution takes a long time to switch to another connection, which should be improved.""There is room for wider improvements and additional features to enhance managing capabilities.""We have some issues with stability. It is not so fast. That is the main problem.""Aruba has better scaling capabilities.""The price of the solution is an area requiring improvement since I want the solution to be made available at a cheaper price than its current market price.""Upgrading the hardware capabilities to newer versions like Wi-Fi 6 or Wi-Fi 7 would be a helpful improvement.""It is less affordable for smaller businesses."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "We pay maybe 1000 SEK per year, per access point."
  • "Juniper Wireless AP's price is a little more expensive than other solutions, but you get what you pay for."
  • "The pricing is something Juniper Wireless Access Points (AP Series) can work on. The pricing is very high compared to the competition."
  • "The pricing is too high."
  • "The solution is expensive."
  • "I rate Juniper Mist's pricing a ten out of ten since it is expensive."
  • "I rate the pricing an eight out of ten."
  • More Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "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."
  • More Cisco Wireless Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "Its benefit is that it is cost effective."
  • "TP-Link provides solutions that are more cost-effective than other well-known brands."
  • "The price of the solution is not a lot for five people to use it."
  • "The price is affordable, and we haven't had any additional costs due to having a limited number of users."
  • "There is no need to pay for the licensing costs since my company is in South Africa. Omada Access Points can be termed as a medium-priced product."
  • "We don't have to pay for the license because the solution has no subscription cost."
  • "TP-Link is a good price. They have a good price. But technology-wise, it has to be better."
  • "On a scale of one to ten for pricing, with one being cheap and ten being expensive, I would rate Omada Access Points at a one for its cost-effectiveness."
