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 artificial intelligence feature is very good."
"The solution is pretty generic and easy to use."
"The most useful feature of Juniper Wireless AP is the reporting Marvis."
"You can easily monitor, manage, and cover all your IT equipment."
"In terms of reporting, in terms of all the user reports, it's very rich."
"With Mist, every Wednesday they roll out new features."
"The AI capabilities of Mist Wireless are superior to other OEMs."
"The simplicity is great."
"The web-based administration is what I find most beneficial."
"Cambium Networks Wireless LAN is easy to deploy. The implementation can take two weeks to four months."
"The after-sales services are helpful."
"It provides good support remotely, and it's very easy to configure."
"This solution is extremely user-friendly; it is very easy to configure and work with."
"The most valuable features of the solution are its range and stability."
"We can scale it if we need to."
"They all have controllers built in, and we manage them all with a web-based management tool."
"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."
"Seamless roaming by leveraging Virtual Cell is a major advantage which reduces roam times and issues related to roaming. Code stability has been excellent and the hardware quality is second to none."
"The most valuable features are central management and the many other features available."
"We're using SD-WAN at all of our locations now, which helps increase and aggregate and lower response time and improve application performance."
"The security is a valuable feature."
"The product is a stable solution."
"If you do have a FortiGate Firewall somewhere in the network, you can connect the wireless controller to that... You get 100 percent visibility from a single point... You can see everything that's connected to the FortiGate, whether it's a switch or a wireless AP or a wireless controller or any other Fortinet product."
"Fortinet FortiWLM is good for tracking assets, monitoring, and overall management."
"If you want to do more specific stuff, it's a bit limited."
"The price could be better."
"I need a bit more time with it before criticizing the features."
"Juniper Wireless Access Points (AP Series) could improve if the MIST platform had a built-in master key. This would be an advantage."
"The product should include adaptive Wi-Fi to show a more accurate location."
"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 solution should be scalable, offering better pricing options as we optimize the network for coverage, capacity, and quality"
"Cambium Networks Wireless LAN should improve its pricing."
"Our areas for improvement would be a refresh with the most recent technology available."
"The solution’s technical support could be faster."
"The platform's cost needs improvement."
"If they could include some sort of web filtering, in-built antivirus, anti-malware, and data stream scanning in the next release."
"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 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."
"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."
"There is very little publicly available information about Virtual Cell and Single Channel Architecture. Promotion of the overall technology is limited as well. Being more vocal about a product that has many advantages would go a long way to eliminating a lot of the confusion and negative perception about Virtual Cell and Single Channel Architecture."
"Areas for improvement would be the compatibility with Apple products and cross-platform integration."
"The pricing for the solution is expensive and can be improved."
"The pricing model can be improved to encourage use by small business and individuals and the hardware could stand to be redesigned."
"The interface could certainly do with some improvement. We have other customers with WiFi networks, and they always use Ubiquiti. With Ubiquiti, it's a much better user interface, and it is much easier to configure."
"When using the FortiGate as the wireless controller, you cannot have automatic user registration, which is something that they should offer."
"The solution should improve user capacity."
