"Aruba Wireless has been straightforward to set up."
"It has improved overall IT efficiency across the board."
"The technical support is 24/7 from the UA."

"For my organization, the most critical feature of Aruba Wireless is guest management."
"The setup process is very easy."
"D-Link is a good product that is quite affordable and I recommend it."
"This product is user-friendly and we can manage it as per the requirements of the user."
"I like the product's signal continuity and range. We can receive the signal up to 20-30 meters from the wireless antenna."
"It is a scalable solution. Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The most valuable feature of D-Link Wireless is its durability."
"It's scalable, user friendly, and easy to manage."
"The solution is extremely easy to install. You just add them and in a few clicks, they are ready to go."
"The price could be better."
"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."
"The pricing should be made cheaper."
"There is room for improvement in terms of support and installation."
"They should include SD-WAN features to it."
"Improving third-party integration is key for Juniper Mist's next release."
"It would be helpful to have even stronger security features to help protect against interference from other nearby access points that aren't part of our network."
"Aruba is missing some features that are available in other solutions, such as the email notifications. It's a bit complex to configure the notification part. Mainly I'm talking about the rogue WiFi detection. This email notification is crucial for us, but it isn't possible to configure with the built-in software. You need something else, like an external system log collector or another Aruba software. These notifications are essential in hospitality for PCI compliance. My colleagues in famous luxury hotel chains need that report."
"The pricing could always be better."
"Needs improvement in point-to-point deployment products."
"Additional detailed reporting for client traffic would be a great addition."
"Making the setup more simple is an area for improvement in Aruba Wireless. Security-wise, this solution also needs work."
"Aruba Wireless could improve the dashboard. It is not straightforward or intuitive to use and could be more user-friendly. For IT employees the dashboards are fine but when it comes to the end-user it is difficult. The Mobility Controller dashboard is not meant for non-IT employees."
"There is a lot of information for users about the product, but it needs to be better organized so that solutions are easier to find."
"There needs to be better visibility on the day-to-day monitoring."
"In future, it would also be good to have a switch within D Link that works as well as the Cisco 9200 Switch."
"Its interface and support system need much improvement. Sometimes, when we use the interface to reset the password and configure SSIDs, or some other changes, the "Save" option does not show and we have to go to some internal setting and then we can "save" the setting. The “Save” option should be in front of or below of the settings."
"The cloud managed solution needs improvement, and they should focus on the SD-WAN segment with regard to integration."
"The support offered by the product needs to be faster with better technical personnel."
"Password restriction: Sometimes we set a password and it uses that password but, after some days/months, the password gets changed and a few laptops still use old the password while a few use the new password. The password restriction option needs to improve."
"D-Link has some catching up to do in terms of advancing and improving its technology."
"The tool's technical support can get difficult sometimes. We got a technician only after complaining for 10-15 days. The tool's technicians need to be made available everywhere."
"The stability could be a bit better."
