"We are very satisfied with the performance.""The solution allows you to see the SNMP packets, the DPI packets, and the SNMP server.""One feature that differentiates Alcatel-Lucent OmniAccess Stellar from some other vendors is the fact that on-premise OmniVista licenses are perpetual.""The features aren't much different than those in Aruba, but deployment is easier to configure and the pricing is better.""The initial setup is pretty straightforward.""There is a definite ROI with this product. This product creates a baseline of technology that will be a means to grow from five to ten years from now. By using this solution, it is an investment on the installation of that baseline.""Express in default configuration mode with first turn-on is easy to set up and deploy from a medium installation standpoint.""I have worked with different solutions in the past and switched to Alcatel-Lucent OmniAccess Stellar because of its quick installation time. It requires no additional preparation. The product is highly stable. I rate it a nine out of ten. The support of this solution is great. The timeliness of their responses is crucial for me. When I raise an issue, I can count on receiving a prompt reply, eliminating the need for extensive online searches or phone calls."

"The solution works well and in the short time I have used it, I've enjoyed its capabilities.""For me, the ease of configuration is a valuable feature.""Its most valuable feature is pricing.""Firstly, I initially purchased the device to build a VPN, and one very valuable feature for me was the ability to create a layer two VPN, which was available on the legacy ER router. It allowed me to expand a subnet to a remote site, which was essential for my setup. Additionally, I appreciated that the CLI of the router was similar to other Juniper products that I was familiar with.""The solution is very easy to install.""It is similar to the switches, where it is one of those things where it just works. They are very reliable.""You can save backups of this controller locally and then I can export it to wherever I want.""Ubiquiti provides good connectivity for the end-user, so I think it's stable."

Cons
"The pricing is very high in the Indian market.""The price could be better.""There is room for improvement in terms of support and installation.""Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points’ support services need improvement.""I need a bit more time with it before criticizing the features.""Juniper Wireless Access Points (AP Series) could improve if the MIST platform had a built-in master key. This would be an advantage.""If you want to do more specific stuff, it's a bit limited.""Juniper Wireless AP can improve by continually improving its reporting and integration with other systems."

More Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points Cons →

"The current implementation of our Guest Access network in isolation for Express mode is very complicated in comparison with leading market solutions.""It needs to be faster in order to process and transmit bigger packets.""Alcatel-Lucent OmniAccess Stellar's radio management side could be improved.""I would prefer to have the integrated heat map feature provided by the basic controller in the Solution instead of purchasing an external one. Accessing this capability directly within the controller's access point would be convenient.""It is not possible to integrate Alcatel-Lucent OmniAccess Stellar with third-party software like Opera, a property management system (PMS).""There are occasional OS bugs.""Better integration with third-party systems is what our customers are expecting in the future.""If the customers plan to go on the cloud side, they need encryption and daily communications from a security perspective."

More Alcatel-Lucent OmniAccess Stellar Cons →

"Ubiquiti WLAN would be improved with the addition of individual AP configuration, which would allow for fine-tuning of individual access points and logins.""The product’s bandwidth could be better.""It is not a stable solution.""The room for improvement is in the controller levels.""The coverage could be increased.""The product must provide better warranties.""The solution is stable but could improve.""They could enhance their products by integrating cloud access into each device."
