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.
"The solution is very secure."
"The AI capabilities of Mist Wireless are superior to other OEMs."
"With Mist, every Wednesday they roll out new features."
"The simplicity is great."
"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."
"In terms of reporting, in terms of all the user reports, it's very rich."
"The most useful feature of Juniper Wireless AP is the reporting Marvis."
"It provides private network access, helping us protect our company’s devices."
"The fact that Aruba Wireless has a virtual controller onboard the internet access points makes it cheaper than other solutions."
"What I like most about Aruba Wireless is its stability, functionality, and performance."
"The most valuable feature is the client match."
"With Aruba Instant, we can use the access points independently, allowing us to position them in many places."
"Setup is straightforward."
"Although there are other solutions available and some with a lower initial cost, they don't offer the same level of integration with IoT as this solution without having to add additional hardware, which ends up costing more."
"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."
"It's been running for the past three years with no default configuration."
"It's easy to set up, and I feel it's very secure. I also prefer its reporting feature. The devices are quite good."
"It prevents a large number of unauthorized modifications of access point devices."
"The installation process is very easy."
"There weren't any scalability issues, the product did what it had to do."
"The Artificial Intelligence on offer is very useful."
"Juniper WLC Series is a very high-performance device designed for indoor wireless deployment."
"The installation process is nice and easy."
"Enrolling into the tool is a tedious process."
"The price could be better."
"There is room for improvement in terms of support and installation."
"They should include SD-WAN features to it."
"Improvement is needed in the user-friendliness of Juniper Mist, particularly in enhancing the interaction with AI features."
"Juniper Wireless Access Points (AP Series) could improve if the MIST platform had a built-in master key. This would be an advantage."
"Juniper Wireless AP can improve by continually improving its reporting and integration with other systems."
"Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points’ support services need improvement."
"MAC authentication against an external Radius server while using 802.1X. This feature will help the L2 devices to authenticate via external Radius servers."
"They should have more support for implementing Aruba Wireless in Smart Cities and outdoor applications."
"There is a long queue whenever we reach out to support, and we have to wait for them to answer calls. Once we get in touch with them, we have to coordinate with different teams, so our engineers struggle to understand who are the correct team members. I think support is another area where Aruba needs to improve."
"What needs improvement in Aruba Wireless is its access point, in particular, it should have more flexibility. Aruba Wireless has Campus AP, Instant AP, and Unified AP, but it would be better if the product has a generic access point that you can manage over the cloud, on-premise, etc. Another area for improvement in Aruba Wireless is scalability. In terms of what additional features I'd like to see in the product, I'm unsure if it's already on the roadmap, but if possible, it would be good to have an SD-WAN functionality on the AP in Aruba Wireless."
"The enterprise controller. I'm planning on getting more information on that."
"The Aruba Central cloud portal needs a lot of work. It is complicated to navigate."
"To enhance the system, more work on integration would be beneficial."
"There are some issues we occasionally have. However, they are easily remedied."
"The biggest issue was that Juniper stopped developing, so we had to look for another solution."
"The support on offer to other vendors switching - like Aruba or Ruckus - could be improved."
"We would prefer it if the solution could be less expensive."
"The solution could offer more integration with other products."
"The solution should create configuration documentation."
"There could be more information from the controller, and it could be easier to work with the controller lights. It's not easy to bring up the upgrades."
"There could be a high level of security."
