"The product is easy to configure."

"The most valuable feature is that it provides a redundant wireless connection for a client."

"Juniper Wireless Access Points (AP Series) could improve if the MIST platform had a built-in master key. This would be an advantage."
"Improving third-party integration is key for Juniper Mist's next release."
"Improvement is needed in the user-friendliness of Juniper Mist, particularly in enhancing the interaction with AI features."
"I think they're missing roadmaps to the partners and the customers. They're releasing the products, but there are no quick updates to the partners and the customers."
"The restart time should be improved."
"Aruba Instant should not have a limit on users for future releases."
"This solution would be improved if they supplied free software controllers."
"There was only ever one case in which an access point failed, but it was reintegrated. The issue was more of a matter of oversight. One part of the network had covered ten access points."
"The solution should be able to support more users on the access points."
"The management component is difficult to understand and not very user-friendly which increases deployment time."
"The tool's customer service should improve."
"In future, it would also be good to have a switch within D Link that works as well as the Cisco 9200 Switch."
