Cons
"The pricing is very high in the Indian market.""The price could be better.""They should include SD-WAN features to it.""There is room for improvement in terms of support and installation.""Juniper Wireless Access Points (AP Series) could improve if the MIST platform had a built-in master key. This would be an advantage.""I need a bit more time with it before criticizing the features.""If you want to do more specific stuff, it's a bit limited.""The solution is expensive."

More Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points Cons →

"The solution doesn't have hotspots. Users can't set it up so that visitors can log in via Facebook or social media as they can at, for example, airports. D-Link should include hotspots that offer integration with social media. That way, visitors don't need to be asking people for passwords. They can just use Facebook.""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.""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.""D-Link has some catching up to do in terms of advancing and improving its technology.""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.""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).""D-Link Wireless’s stability needs improvement."

More D-Link Wireless Cons →

"If a client device had issues with authentication due to out of date browser or similar difficulties, it would be nice to have the ability to migrate the client onto the portal via one click.""I don't think they're available at the best price.""The solution can be scaled but it has limitations from my experience.""Inability to import a user with one click.""The price of this solution needs to reviewed, as it is currently high enough to deter customers from trying it.""One of the things is if you buy it with a certain subscription, you can't easily change the subscription level."
