"The most valuable feature of Juniper Mist is the Virtual Network Assistant, powered by artificial intelligence."
"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."
"The most useful feature of Juniper Wireless AP is the reporting Marvis."
"You can easily monitor, manage, and cover all your IT equipment."
"The solution is stable."
"Overall, we've been very pleased with the performance."
"It provides private network access, helping us protect our company’s devices."
"It is a stable and secure platform."
"The product is user-friendly and helps with cost minimization."
"The web-based administration is what I find most beneficial."
"The most valuable features of the solution are its range and stability."
"We can scale it if we need to."
"It offers features that are essential for an efficient and high-performance wireless LAN deployment, where capacity, coverage, and quality are optimized, and frequency bands are selected based on the specific needs of the network."
"What I like best about Cambium Networks Wireless LAN is that it's easy to configure, has no licensing hassle, and is a controller-based solution."
"They all have controllers built in, and we manage them all with a web-based management tool."
"With Cisco products and third-party products, integration of Cisco Meraki Wireless LAN is good."
"Its ability to be cloud-managed is the most valuable feature so if there's a reconfiguration or an issue, we have excellent visibility into the network and we can usually resolve the problem online without having to go onsite."
"The solution ensures seamless connectivity as users move within the office. Six installed Meraki APs provide excellent coverage for around three hundred users, offering reliable speeds. Additionally, the system allows guests and users with priority devices to connect using their SAP ID. The traffic is managed through D and G controllers to meet the specified requirements for continuous connection and speed."
"There are many valuable features of Cisco Meraki, including the switches, stacking, and layer 3 routing."
"The most important feature is flexibility."
"The functionalities are quite professional and complete. It offers good integration with other Meraki products, like switches and the firewall. You can get an overview of all networks and the host. It's really great; nobody else can do that."
"The most valuable feature of Cisco Meraki Wireless LAN is that it is fast and does the job."
"Cisco Meraki Wireless LAN is a user-friendly solution that has good performance and stability."
"They should include SD-WAN features to it."
"I need a bit more time with it before criticizing the features."
"Enrolling into the tool is a tedious process."
"The solution is expensive."
"Juniper Wireless AP can improve by continually improving its reporting and integration with other systems."
"Improving third-party integration is key for Juniper Mist's next release."
"Juniper Wireless Access Points (AP Series) could improve if the MIST platform had a built-in master key. This would be an advantage."
"The pricing should be made cheaper."
"The problem with this radio wireless technology is that it cannot compete in terms of bandwidth with the fiber optics at this moment. That's the biggest weakness."
"Our areas for improvement would be a refresh with the most recent technology available."
"The platform's cost needs improvement."
"What could be improved in Cambium Networks Wireless LAN is its efficiency in large areas because we noticed that there's a need to increase the APs in large rooms or spaces for the Wi-Fi to be more efficient. Another area for improvement in Cambium Networks Wireless LAN is bandwidth management. This is a feature that Meraki has that allows you to control user bandwidth, so my company has a pilot project to test Meraki Wireless LAN. Bandwidth control is an additional feature I'd like to see in Cambium Networks Wireless LAN as that would make the solution better."
"We would like this product to have more information data sheets available. At present we cannot easily access details around the full capability of a piece of equipment."
"The solution’s technical support could be faster."
"If they could include some sort of web filtering, in-built antivirus, anti-malware, and data stream scanning in the next release."
"I believe there's room for improvement in the configuration options for point-to-point setups directly from the cloud management interface. Currently, the process feels a bit clunky—you monitor the unit in the cloud but need to make configuration changes by editing a text file, then downloading it back to the unit. This method can be error-prone, as even a small mistake in the text file could disrupt the unit's configuration."
"Documentation could be improved, but everything else has been spot-on."
"In some cases, they could include enhanced features in the product, such as a firewall console and traffic analysis."
"There needs to be some work done on security because, with time, some viruses may emerge that one may not know about."
"There should be better Spanish-language technical support."
"Integration with the corporate LAN where Catalyst products are installed is a major challenge."
"It could be slightly cheaper but it's fine."
"There's nothing that special about it."
"The throughput of the switches for wireless could be improved."
