We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"With Mist, every Wednesday they roll out new features.""It provides private network access, helping us protect our company’s devices.""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 most valuable feature of the solution is Marvis, the AI-driven network management system.""You can easily monitor, manage, and cover all your IT equipment.""The most valuable feature of Juniper Mist is the Virtual Network Assistant, powered by artificial intelligence.""The most useful feature of Juniper Wireless AP is the reporting Marvis.""Overall, we've been very pleased with the performance."

"The tool supports new technologies.""It is a scalable solution. Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten.""The product's initial setup phase is easy.""The setup process is very easy.""It's scalable, user friendly, and easy to manage.""The connectivity is good.""The initial setup process was easy.""The most valuable feature of D-Link Wireless is its durability."

More D-Link Wireless Pros →

"It is more cost effective and gives more flexibility.""The cloud management gives us the tools and reports that we need to monitor and troubleshoot the network.""Integrated Firewall in every AP (with DPI inspection) is a killer feature and it is included already in the price of licence (with others, this feature is an add-on licence).""When we deployed the new IP that is managed wirelessly in the cloud, it fixed the problems. Now, we don't have any more reports, and everything works fine.""I like ExtremeCloud IQ's unified single-pane-of-glass dashboard. It offers a lot of visibility of performance, and it's great for troubleshooting. You don't have to go to 55 different places. You can get the information you need with just a few clicks.""HiveManager is incredibly useful for managing APs and switches from one cloud interface.""The cloud-based management interface allows us to fully manage all our wireless radios, ensuring consistency and ease of access.""ExtremeCloud IQ is an intuitive platform. The tool's ability to streamline network operations depends on the end customer. Sometimes it's quicker, and sometimes it takes much longer. It helps me to address network problems."

Cons
"The pricing should be made cheaper.""Improvement is needed in the user-friendliness of Juniper Mist, particularly in enhancing the interaction with AI features.""I need a bit more time with it before criticizing the features.""The pricing is very high in the Indian market.""The price could be better.""There is room for improvement in terms of support and installation.""The solution is expensive.""Improving third-party integration is key for Juniper Mist's next release."

More Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points Cons →

"The support offered by the product needs to be faster with better technical personnel.""Its interface and support system need much improvement. Sometimes, when we use the interface to reset the password and configure SSIDs, or some other changes, the "Save" option does not show and we have to go to some internal setting and then we can "save" the setting. The “Save” option should be in front of or below of the settings.""The solution's performance could be improved.""In future, it would also be good to have a switch within D Link that works as well as the Cisco 9200 Switch.""The only issue is with the controller visibility of the devices connecting to the network.""The cloud managed solution needs improvement, and they should focus on the SD-WAN segment with regard to integration.""The tool's technical support can get difficult sometimes. We got a technician only after complaining for 10-15 days. The tool's technicians need to be made available everywhere.""The performance offered by D-Link Wireless can be a bit problematic at times, owing to which it is an area that can be considered for improvement."

More D-Link Wireless Cons →

"Their firewall configuration gets funky and it can be difficult to understand.""Integrating the network access control solution can be complex, as it essentially combines two separate products.""For me, the only issue is the potential delay in the tool statistics updating in real time after making changes.""The Virtual Appliance crashed once while doing an upgrade. The good thing here is, even if the management system fails, all our networks and features still remain 100% stable and working.""The dashboard and stability need to be improved.""Pricing could be improved. It could be lower.""There can be an improvement by incorporating two-factor authentication or multi-factor authentication for security. Advanced network access control features and application control features should be added to manage applications. Many customers are interested in managing data, such as setting data quotas for individual users.""ExtremeCloud should invest in an SD-WAN solution or integration with SD-WAN."

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."

  • "D-Link pricing is very competitive when you consider other OEMs."
  • "D-Link Wireless is cheaper than Ruckus or Cisco."
  • "This solution is more affordable than others on the market."
  • "On a scale of one to ten, where one is very cheap and ten is very expensive, I rate the pricing an eight out of ten."
  • "D-Link Wireless' price is the same as Aruba's. You need to pay one-time costs for the product."

  • "Although the pricing is a bit high, I consider Aerohive to be well worth the money."
  • "Buy near the end of Q4 in order to get a deal."
  • "Bring the cost down."
  • "I would advise that you be sure to compare apples with apples. Many customers just look at the price per AP and licences, and compare that against other solutions. But, they do not look at the complete picture such as: TCO - how much the equipment will cost you over, say, seven years? Will the customer need to change complete infrastructure when they want to buy the newest hardware? Does support include a lifetime warranty and RMA?"
  • "For example, if you compare Aruba vs Aerohive, you need to check which licences from Aruba you need to match the functionality of Aerohive (usually you need at least three types of licences and a controller with redundancy). The same goes with Cisco, where you need buy additional licences for central management, firewall, spectral analysis, WIPS, PPSK, etc. Aerohive has a very simple model - one licence for all the functionalities - and you can believe that there are many. One licence makes it easy to maintain, scale, renew and you can plan your costs 10 years in advance."
  • "Start small and grow big. You can choose the basic Aerohive Connect free subscription solution and, later, if needed (in terms of functionality) you can upgrade to Aerohive Select."
  • "There are probably cheaper solutions but we invest for stability and performance for the longer haul."
  • "I did a multi-year license. It was a three-year license. It compares well with others in terms of the price. It is about a hundred dollars per year on a three-year scale."
