Find out in this report how the two Wireless LAN solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable feature of Juniper Mist is the Virtual Network Assistant, powered by artificial intelligence."
"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."
"The AI capabilities of Mist Wireless are superior to other OEMs."
"The most useful feature of Juniper Wireless AP is the reporting Marvis."
"In terms of reporting, in terms of all the user reports, it's very rich."
"The artificial intelligence feature is very good."
"With Mist, every Wednesday they roll out new features."
"Although there are a few steps, the initial setup is pretty straightforward."
"With Fortinet, there is a feature called Network-In-Control. It's the AP controller that decides what the clients are going to connect to... Even though your phone sees, let's say, two APs, since the wireless controller has visibility into and access across all the APs, it knows the best AP for the client to connect to. This way, the controller makes sure that none of the APs is over-crowded, and the spectrum is used properly."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to connect and broadcast to different networks without using a VLAN or a layer two switch, which allows you to easily create guest networks."
"The most valuable features of this solution are its speed, reliability, and integration with the firewall."
"We're using SD-WAN at all of our locations now, which helps increase and aggregate and lower response time and improve application performance."
"The most valuable features are the roaming profile, the mesh, and the performance."
"Security is the feature we like most from Fortinet. In general, their security architecture is really great, because it involves everything: firewalls, wireless LANs, the user. Everything is really secure."
"The security is a valuable feature."
"Omada Access Points are very good in terms of wired technologies and wired connectivity."
"The solution has been dependable and has kept up with modern technology."
"The solution's most valuable feature is its price."
"The performance and availability of Omada Access Points have met our business needs, particularly in improving network control and facilitating direct access for developers to branch services."
"This product is easy to use."
"When this solution is set up, it is solid. It offers fast deployment."
"The most valuable feature of TP-Link Auranet EAP is its high performance."
"Its sturdiness and cost-effectiveness are the most valuable features."
"The price could be better."
"Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points’ support services need improvement."
"I need a bit more time with it before criticizing the features."
"Improving third-party integration is key for Juniper Mist's next release."
"If you want to do more specific stuff, it's a bit limited."
"They should include SD-WAN features to it."
"The pricing is very high in the Indian market."
"Juniper Wireless Access Points (AP Series) could improve if the MIST platform had a built-in master key. This would be an advantage."
"The pricing model can be improved to encourage use by small business and individuals and the hardware could stand to be redesigned."
"This solution should be easier to set up in a production environment."
"Cost is something that could be improved, but you have to pay for what you get."
"The pricing for the solution is expensive and can be improved."
"One of the main features that I see as lacking in any of the Fortinet products is the reporting. If you want to have proper, end-to-end reporting, you must purchase the FortiAnalyzer... If Fortinet could offer some better, built-in reporting, that would be a point of improvement."
"There is very little publicly available information about Virtual Cell and Single Channel Architecture. Promotion of the overall technology is limited as well. Being more vocal about a product that has many advantages would go a long way to eliminating a lot of the confusion and negative perception about Virtual Cell and Single Channel Architecture."
"They need to do more with their marketing. That's what's wrong with them. Nobody knows they do all this other stuff. I love the product. For an enterprise-level system, you never have to explain why you're recommending Fortinet, whereas you might have to do that if you want to use the Ubiquiti Professional or the new Netgear line, but you don't have to explain Fortinet. It has been remarkable to work with."
"The range needs some improvement and also the stability."
"It is less affordable for smaller businesses."
"The solution takes a long time to switch to another connection, which should be improved."
"TP-Link Auranet EAP is not very efficient, they need to improve it."
"Omada's ordering platform could be improved, though. Some of their distributors are a pain to work with."
"There should be more remote support for the mobile application."
"It's better for smaller organizations. This would not work for enterprises. It is not very scalable."
"Upgrading the hardware capabilities to newer versions like Wi-Fi 6 or Wi-Fi 7 would be a helpful improvement."
"Aruba has better scaling capabilities."
