"The technical support for this solution is good."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is the centralized management capability."
"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)."
"The support organization behind this product is extremely professional."
"The dashboards are great and the user interface is quite intuitive."
"What our customers like the most is that this device is so rugged. It has very good performance and throughput. Its console is very easy to use and has many features, which makes it different from its competitors. Cloud IQ has all the features built into the console, whereas other solutions require you to integrate multiple solutions with their consoles. You don't need to add anything extra with Cloud IQ. With this single solution, you can do almost everything."
"HiveManager is extremely easy to use for anyone with little network experience."
"The installation process is very easy."
"The installation process is nice and easy."
"The Artificial Intelligence on offer is very useful."
"It prevents a large number of unauthorized modifications of access point devices."
"Juniper WLC Series is a very high-performance device designed for indoor wireless deployment."
"It's easy to set up, and I feel it's very secure. I also prefer its reporting feature. The devices are quite good."
"There weren't any scalability issues, the product did what it had to do."
"Its price could be lower. It is a simplified solution, but it has price challenges. It is costly as compared to other solutions. It has almost everything. The only thing is that MAC is not possible on the cloud, and it has to be on-premises."
"The solution's performance needs to be enhanced because of a very high delay."
"The solution will show us that there are some issues, but when we try to find those issues, we can't see them."
"We'd like to have a cloud dashboard from which we can see all devices."
"We have had some mediocre to poor experiences with tech support: Conflicting information, condescending attitudes, and reluctance to work to resolve an issue."
"Lacks cyber asset tracking."
"They can improve just the onboarding process. More user information about the introduction to the product would be helpful. It would be good if they have a better user introduction to the new product because it is different than the prior version."
"I would like to see more security features such as NAC integrated to the solution. This would allow customers to be able to control all other users under one dashboard."
"The solution should create configuration documentation."
"There could be more information from the controller, and it could be easier to work with the controller lights. It's not easy to bring up the upgrades."
"The biggest issue was that Juniper stopped developing, so we had to look for another solution."
"There could be a high level of security."
"The support on offer to other vendors switching - like Aruba or Ruckus - could be improved."
"The solution could offer more integration with other products."
"We would prefer it if the solution could be less expensive."
