Find out in this report how the two Wireless LAN solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."I have found the Access Point (AP) group profile feature extremely useful. It makes deployments look easy."
"I have found the most valuable features are the new Wi-Fi six technology and it also integrates with triple-A solutions. It has good bandwidth and virtual control."
"With the central management system, I'm able to access each device. I can configure one device and then it provisions all the other devices with the same configuration, rather than my having to configure them one by one."
"Setup is straightforward."
"The feature that I love the most is being able to broadcast different SSIDs with different protocol requirements. "
"It's a very stable system."
"For my organization, the most critical feature of Aruba Wireless is guest management."
"Ability for a student or teacher to be able to roam freely from classroom to classroom, no matter the floor, without dropping a signal."
"Overall, we've been very pleased with the performance."
"The most useful feature of Juniper Wireless AP is the reporting Marvis."
"The artificial intelligence feature is very good."
"With Mist, every Wednesday they roll out new features."
"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."
"Juniper Mist offers valuable features like comprehensive network insight, granular policy control, fast device setup, strong security, and efficient SSL traffic management."
"It provides private network access, helping us protect our company’s devices."
"The solution is very secure."
"The dashboards that represent the network access control in Aruba Wireless could improve."
"An area for improvement in Aruba Wireless is creating a DMZ. Without Aruba ClearPass, you need to allow guess access directly via the internet, which means you need to implement the security in between, so this is what I'd like Aruba to improve in the product."
"The upgrades tend to be buggy and better testing is needed before they are released."
"They should have more support for implementing Aruba Wireless in Smart Cities and outdoor applications."
"The certification for licensing could be better."
"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 speed could be better. I heard that Aruba is trying to shape the speed inside the wireless controller, but that has not been adopted yet. If they put some kind of mechanism inside the wireless controller for the speed such that, "Okay, this many users will have 20 by 20 - 20 in the upload, 20 in the download. Just this many users. And this many users will have that type of speed." I think it would be very good if they actually bring that functionality inside the wireless controller."
"They should provide usage guides and solutions to frequent problems."
"They should include SD-WAN features to it."
"Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points’ support services need improvement."
"The pricing should be made cheaper."
"Improving third-party integration is key for Juniper Mist's next release."
"The solution is expensive."
"The product should include adaptive Wi-Fi to show a more accurate location."
"The price could be better."
"The pricing is very high in the Indian market."
