Pros
"The solution is very secure.""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.""The most valuable feature of Juniper Wireless Access Points (AP Series) is the ability to troubleshoot ports on the network. Additionally, when there is an update on the APs they are able to reboot quickly reducing downtime. Other solutions have a longer downtime when updates are done.""In terms of reporting, in terms of all the user reports, it's very rich.""The solution is pretty generic and easy to use.""The solution is stable.""The simplicity is great."

Cons
"Juniper Wireless AP can improve by continually improving its reporting and integration with other systems.""There is room for improvement in terms of support and installation.""The price could be better.""The product should include adaptive Wi-Fi to show a more accurate location.""The pricing should be made cheaper.""If you want to do more specific stuff, it's a bit limited.""They should include SD-WAN features to it.""Enrolling into the tool is a tedious process."

More Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points Cons →

"When I first deployed the solution, I couldn't use a tagged VLAN for the management. It might already have been fixed in a recent firmware upgrade.""If there's a way to get a floor map of our office space so we can place the access points on a map to be able to see what's what, where everything is going, where the most traffic is being connected, that would be a nice feature.""It's only suitable for smaller offices. It doesn't scale well.""The limited functionality of the mobile app restricts its use primarily to small and medium-sized setups, making it less suitable for enterprise-level solutions.""Software-wise, I would like to have a way of moving APs from site to site and wish there would be a way to add more APs to one site. I know the limit is 25 APs per site and I wish there were more.""If anything, its reporting could be improved.""The product's machine or equipment can cater to around 20 connections and cannot go beyond 50 simultaneous connections, because of which I think the tool's scalability is limited.""When there are a lot of people connected, especially during video streaming demonstrations, the connection can get a bit choppy."

More Aruba Instant On Access Points Cons →

"It's better for smaller organizations. This would not work for enterprises. It is not very scalable.""There is room for wider improvements and additional features to enhance managing capabilities.""TP-Link Auranet EAP is not very efficient, they need to improve it.""We have some issues with stability. It is not so fast. That is the main problem.""Omada could add some API integrations that would help with our automated solution. We're trying to integrate, and we're having some issues because some of the calls are not there. The API still needs some development.""It is less affordable for smaller businesses.""The technical support could be improved.""The solution takes a long time to switch to another connection, which should be improved."
