"The most valuable features are the roaming profile, the mesh, and the performance."
"Although there are a few steps, the initial setup is pretty straightforward."
"For me, the ease of setup and the rugged nature in harsh environments are most valuable. So, durability and ease of use have been its best features."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to connect and broadcast to different networks without using a VLAN or a layer two switch, which allows you to easily create guest networks."
"We're using SD-WAN at all of our locations now, which helps increase and aggregate and lower response time and improve application performance."

"I have found the most valuable features to be how user-friendly it is and how simple it is to do the configurations."
"We use the solution for many of our smaller customers and the cloud management aspect of the solution is very good.

"I like that it's very easy and very stable. It's easy to install as well."
"Easy to use and flexible."
"Juniper Wireless AP can improve by continually improving its reporting and integration with other systems."

"If you want to do more specific stuff, it's a bit limited."
"Enrolling into the tool is a tedious process."

"The solution is expensive."
"Improvement is needed in the user-friendliness of Juniper Mist, particularly in enhancing the interaction with AI features."
"The guest management features need to be improved by adding automation."
"The roaming of Fortinet FortiWLM could improve when comparing it to other solutions. We are missing some of the functionality in the controller. Additionally, they should offer more logs instead of using FortiAnalyzer because all the users will not be using the same thing."
"Areas for improvement would be the compatibility with Apple products and cross-platform integration."
"This solution should be easier to set up in a production environment."
"In the next release, they could improve by adding a controller-less server, or architecture that is provided in other solutions, such as Aruba. This would be a great benefit for customers."
"Technical support is very poor. We are not satisfied with the technical support because there is not any direct person from Fortinet for any troubleshooting, which we expected."
"Licensing is the only area that I think they are below average. They need enterprise licensing, an all-encompassing license to cover all products for a company."
"The pricing model can be improved to encourage use by small business and individuals and the hardware could stand to be redesigned."
"There is really nothing wrong with the product but there are ways the utility and features can be expanded to meet future demands."
"There should be an easier way to contact the support. If we need to do something on it, it will be easier and faster if there is a support number to call. Currently, their support is mostly through email or chat. If there is a hotline that you can call directly, that would be good. It will really help a lot. They should also include more after-sales support. They can maybe also provide more details on what's happening with the network."
"I would prefer if the solution offered more integration capabilities."
"One of the Ubiquiti access points broke down, and it can't be used. It's still down now, so overall Ubiquiti hasn't been a good experience for me."
"Ubiquiti Wireless could improve stability."
"The technical support is less than stellar."
"The solution needs to improve its features and offer more to the customer."
"We need an official distributor in Egypt as we don't have one right now."
