"It provides private network access, helping us protect our company’s devices."
"The AI capabilities of Mist Wireless are superior to other OEMs."
"The solution is pretty generic and easy to use."
"Overall, we've been very pleased with the performance."
"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 valuable feature of Juniper Mist is the Virtual Network Assistant, powered by artificial intelligence."
"The solution is very secure."
"The cloud-based management provided by Cambium Networks is particularly valuable to us, as it allows us to efficiently manage Wi-Fi, point-to-point connections, firewalls, and switches across various locations from a centralized platform. This enables us to be proactive in providing support and ensures smooth operations for our clients."
"The after-sales services are helpful."
"This solution is extremely user-friendly; it is very easy to configure and work with."
"The product has valuable throughput capabilities. It also has an inbuilt spectrum analyzer for stable connectivity."
"They all have controllers built in, and we manage them all with a web-based management tool."
"It provides good support remotely, and it's very easy to configure."
"We can scale it if we need to."
"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."
"Allows for cloud-based management of your Wi-Fi network."
"The product's cloud controller is easy to use."
"The most amazing part is that their Access Points have the ability to connect to multiple conference devices at different times, and it shows you the very in-depth Wi-Fi analytics through their dashboard."
"The most valuable feature is the technology of the security that is offered."
"Great architecturally based dashboard and the solution is accessible from anywhere."
"Its flexibility, ease of management via the portal, and the variety of access points are the most valuable features."
"This product offers cloud-based configuration, so you can set it up from anywhere."
"I really don't have any problems with the stability of the product."
"The solution is expensive."
"Improvement is needed in the user-friendliness of Juniper Mist, particularly in enhancing the interaction with AI features."
"Improving third-party integration is key for Juniper Mist's next release."
"The product should include adaptive Wi-Fi to show a more accurate location."
"Juniper Wireless Access Points (AP Series) could improve if the MIST platform had a built-in master key. This would be an advantage."
"There is room for improvement in terms of support and installation."
"If you want to do more specific stuff, it's a bit limited."
"The pricing is very high in the Indian market."
"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."
"The solution should be scalable, offering better pricing options as we optimize the network for coverage, capacity, and quality"
"There is room for improvement in the pricing model."
"Cambium Networks Wireless LAN should improve its pricing."
"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."
"Not a lot of technical engineers are familiar with Cambium Networks Wireless LAN. They are familiar with implementing and using other solutions such as Aruba. Therefore, Cambium Networks needs to be more visible in the marketplace."
"The product pricing needs improvement."
"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."
"The only thing that always causes problems with Meraki is the license. It's a bit of a bugbear with Meraki, and it remains today. So it's an unusual concept compared to the other products in the marketplace, but then it does cause a bit of a nuisance from time to time."
"There is a processing limitation when you have multiple SSIDs, above three or four."
"Cisco offers pretty expensive devices."
"I would like to see them improve their support where an assigned engineer can take the case all the way to closure. Usually, you get a different engineer calling regarding the same ticket."
"The customization needs to be improved because it's pretty locked down."
"The only concern is when the license has expired and it will no longer function, the entire network goes down, without any notification, or warning."
"The product's coverage area could be expanded. It would help ensure better connectivity."
"It would be useful to have a service management platform integrated within this solution where we can measure the customer experience."
