"The solution is pretty generic and easy to use."
"You can easily monitor, manage, and cover all your IT equipment."
"In terms of reporting, in terms of all the user reports, it's very rich."
"The most useful feature of Juniper Wireless AP is the reporting Marvis."
"The AI capabilities of Mist Wireless are superior to other OEMs."
"It provides private network access, helping us protect our company’s devices."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is Marvis, the AI-driven network management system."
"Has an extremely good feature set."
"Ability to control the access points by groups."
"The cost is the most valuable aspect of this solution."
"AI is the most valuable feature."
"The triangulation feature can be used to determine where a person is in relation to the access point."
"Regarding features, the solution seems to be very intuitive."
"Natural language patching is an important feature."
"The most valuable aspect is that they operate on small microservices, offering numerous open APIs that enhance the value of our Wi-Fi network. This flexibility allows us to optimize various aspects such as workforce planning and occupancy management. The platform is highly open in the market, providing robust APIs for seamless integration with other tools. Currently, we leverage these capabilities at a building site, incorporating IoT sensors to gather data. The collected data is stored in a centralized location, and we plan to use AI for analysis. This analysis will include insights on peak activity times, humidity levels, temperature variations, and other relevant metrics within the building."
"The strongest point for Ruckus has always been the radio hardware."
"Ruckus has multiple radios. Therefore, it supports high speed for users and clients. Other vendors have fluctuations in speed. The main thing about Ruckus is that you can trust it and rely on its speed. I am simply satisfied with it."
"The most valuable feature of Ruckus Wireless WAN is the antenna technology."
"The solution is suitable for many types of environments, such as small businesses."
"We use things like VLAN and all the multibeam features that are built in, but at the end of the day, the most important thing for us is to get a good signal and site-wide coverage."
"Radio management is a valuable feature of the solution."
"The most valuable features are the ease of deployment, the coverage that it offers, and the reliability."
"The most valuable solution is its simplicity. The solution is simple and easy to use."
"Juniper Wireless AP can improve by continually improving its reporting and integration with other systems."
"They should include SD-WAN features to it."
"If you want to do more specific stuff, it's a bit limited."
"Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points’ support services need improvement."
"The pricing is very high in the Indian market."
"I need a bit more time with it before criticizing the features."
"The price could be better."
"The solution is expensive."
"It would be beneficial to have support for the Chinese language."
"The solution has various licensing policies. It will be easy to use if it is an open single license."
"Regarding opportunities for improvement in Mist, it is notable for its robust cloud portal and integration of artificial intelligence into various services, creating a highly efficient environment for work. However, a drawback lies in the cost associated with its WiFi offerings. With a pricing range of twelve hundred to fifteen hundred dollars for a single Access Point, exclusive of the subscription, it is acknowledged as a relatively expensive solution in the realm of WiFi services. Despite this drawback, the positive attributes of Mist make it a noteworthy option."
"Mist AI and Cloud should improve its integrations."
"Sometimes it takes a lot of time for the access point to connect with the cloud."
"The solution doesn't provide mail notifications currently."
"The user experience should be improved. It's not user-friendly."
"Currently, the solution lacks the ability to configure with other solutions from other vendors."
"In Cisco, there is a configuration where it automatically switches from the 2.4 GHz to 5.2 GHz frequency. But with Ruckus, usually, we need to manually define whether we want to use the 2.4 GHz or 5.2 GHz."
"I would like to see the billing system improved by adding a billing system integration."
"The connectivity and mobility for users could be improved."
"Of course, we'd always like it to be cheaper, but that's for every product."
"We had a problem with the delivery of the solution."
"The initial setup is complex."
"So far, I find Ruckus Wireless WAN okay in terms of the technology and existing business network, but licensing could be more flexible, especially the IoT license that was changed to adapt to the IoT Controller and sensor subscription. The previous licensing method for Ruckus Wireless WAN was better. In my opinion, it wasn't a good decision to change it because the customer prefers the previous licensing over the current licensing. It's not only about the money in terms of licensing, but also about flexibility. The latest license change isn't as flexible. I also found the cloud solution not partner-friendly, so that could also be improved. Another area for improvement in Ruckus Wireless WAN is answering partner requests because currently, it doesn't seem easy for them. What I'd like to see in the next release of the solution is the AP having its MQTT forwarder. Ruckus Wireless WAN AP supports IoT modules now and to use the IoT modules, you need all IoT data to pass through the IoT Controller. If I could forward that IoT data directly to my environment, similar to what you can do with other solutions, that would be great."
"The captive portal should be more customizable because right now, it is very limited."
