More Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points Cons →

"There could be a high level of security.""The support on offer to other vendors switching - like Aruba or Ruckus - could be improved.""There could be more information from the controller, and it could be easier to work with the controller lights.

"The downside is the interface changes, where they are constantly doing firmware updates.""The support needs improvement. The official support is kind of complex. It's not that straightforward compared to Cisco and Aruba.""Cloud management is one feature that should be included in the next release. This tool is best suited for small environments, not large and complex ones.""Ubiquiti WLAN needs to expand the models with external antennas.
