We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The simplicity is great.""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 solution is pretty generic and easy to use.""In terms of reporting, in terms of all the user reports, it's very rich.""The most valuable feature of the solution is Marvis, the AI-driven network management system.""It provides private network access, helping us protect our company’s devices.""You can easily monitor, manage, and cover all your IT equipment.""With Mist, every Wednesday they roll out new features."

"The most valuable feature of D-Link Wireless is its durability.""The connectivity is good.""This product is user-friendly and we can manage it as per the requirements of the user.""I like the product's signal continuity and range. We can receive the signal up to 20-30 meters from the wireless antenna.""The initial setup process was easy.""The solution is extremely easy to install. You just add them and in a few clicks, they are ready to go.""The product's initial setup phase is easy.""D-Link is a good product that is quite affordable and I recommend it."

"It is easy to set up.""At the moment, I only have experience with the on-premise deployment of Huawei Wireless, but the cloud solution looks good on paper. It looks perfect. I can say that Huawei's cybersecurity is very good, stable, and works for long periods. My company has four devices running uptime for more than four years without stopping. I also like that the support for Huawei Wireless is swift, and support does precisely what you require, at least from the point of view of the technical engineer who communicated with Huawei support, as I'm more of a technical sales guy. Good technical support is vital to my company, partners, and customers. My company had this ongoing project with an ISP provider in Bulgaria that bought some routers. Still, the existing equipment was a completely different brand, so this provider wanted to migrate to Huawei Wireless and wanted help while migrating the existing infrastructure to Huawei, so the technical engineer assigned to raise the ticket with Huawei for checking and setting parameters correctly provided feedback about Huawei technical support being good quality-wise and TAT-wise. The technical engineer was also Cisco-certified and Juniper-certified and was not experienced with Huawei equipment. Still, he did mention that the Huawei Wireless router interface was straightforward, and even a person who's new to it would find it easy to configure. Huawei Wireless is user-friendly, which is another pro of the solution. It's easy to manage, and even the program language setting can be done with fewer commands than Juniper and Cisco equipment. Some of the features in Juniper need an external program, and the same features can be found in Huawei Wireless built-in, which I find remarkable.""It is based on 802.11ax, which is a new technology. There are several valuable things, such as its speed and mobility. There are options for self-organizing networking so that it can perform operations and maintain itself. Its three interfaces are very good and user friendly.""The solution offers very good value for money.""The most valuable feature of the solution is its simplicity.""The solution's roaming feature is very nice. When you move to another place it automatically changes the access point. It's one of the most valuable features.""The most valuable thing about Huawei Wireless is that it is one of the cheapest WiFi 6 systems. Its price is very nice. The other WiFi systems cost about 15% more.""We've found the solution to be quite stable."

Cons
"I need a bit more time with it before criticizing the features.""They should include SD-WAN features to it.""The pricing is very high in the Indian market.""Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points’ support services need improvement.""The pricing should be made cheaper.""If you want to do more specific stuff, it's a bit limited.""The product should include adaptive Wi-Fi to show a more accurate location.""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 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.""Sometimes we configure the SSID with a password but the same AP shows two WiFi connections with the same SSID name (one is protected by a password and another one give access without a password).""It would definitely help if we had more advanced features for distributing bandwidth.""Password restriction: Sometimes we set a password and it uses that password but, after some days/months, the password gets changed and a few laptops still use old the password while a few use the new password. The password restriction option needs to improve.""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 cloud managed solution needs improvement, and they should focus on the SD-WAN segment with regard to integration.""D-Link has some catching up to do in terms of advancing and improving its technology."

More D-Link Wireless Cons →

"Improving the visibility, control offered, and cloud management would all be very helpful. Also how you can monetize the information you get from Wi-Fi controllers should be improved.""I have already integrated the radius system with Cisco and Huawei products, but it can be further improved to be more user-friendly and easier to use.""The technical support needs to be improved. They also need to produce some more technical guides.""Cloud integration needs to be improved.""The manageability could be improved.""The security of the solution could be better in the future.""The scalability could be better.""While I am fine with the current licensing price, I would appreciate it to be more cost-effective."
