"Cisco is one of the leading vendors and is at the top of many lists. The access software is robust, and the performance of the devices is excellent."
"The stability is great. It's very reliable."
"The solution is scalable."
"We've found the technical support to be helpful and responsive."
"The initial setup is easy."
"Great management interface."
"It is similar to the switches, where it is one of those things where it just works. They are very reliable."
"Ubiquiti WLAN is a reliable, stable, and robust solution."
"Its most valuable feature is pricing."
"The solution has a lot of great features."
"The ease of use and simplicity of the solution is its most valuable feature. This tool is best suited for small environments."
"Ubiquiti WLAN is stable."
"There is room for improvement in terms of support and installation."
"If you want to do more specific stuff, it's a bit limited."
"Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points’ support services need improvement."
"I need a bit more time with it before criticizing the features."
"Enrolling into the tool is a tedious process."
"Improvement is needed in the user-friendliness of Juniper Mist, particularly in enhancing the interaction with AI features."
"The pricing should be made cheaper."
"Juniper Wireless AP can improve by continually improving its reporting and integration with other systems."
"Older versions used to be hard to deploy. The latest OS, however, has made things a lot easier. While deployment is much better, it could always be even easier."
"There needs to be an access point that is compact and more suitable for small and medium-sized businesses."
"Cisco Wireless is expensive."
"In this part of the world, support is the weak side of this solution."
"The licensing models need to be reviewed in some instances. Obviously Cisco's licensing models are quite challenging, and it can be costly."
"The configuration interface could be easier. They should make roaming easier and should fix it so that when you cross a building you can keep the signal."
"There are some areas of improvement needed in roaming and streaming."
"The coverage area of Cisco Wireless could improve. Additionally, the reports when a problem arises could be better, such as how it is done in Aruba Wireless solutions. In the Aruba wireless solutions, there are reports that are provided regarding uploads, downloads, and other internet activity that are useful. If this feature was added to Cisco that would be a benefit."
"The solution could improve by having a cloud version. A cloud version is the easiest to configure anywhere in the world."
"Largely we're happy with the product, however, the firmware deployments could maybe be managed a little bit differently."
"The solution should include and expand on a central management system."
"I have never used cloud solutions. My first approach would be something related to the cloud, and backups on the cloud, and maybe an easier way to connect to it because I have an on-premises environment."
"Ubiquiti WLAN only supports 2.4GHz Wi-Fi radio and would be improved by including support for 5GHz."
"There seems to be a drop in service. It's definitely a reliability or stability issue we face."
"Ubiquiti WLAN would be improved with the addition of individual AP configuration, which would allow for fine-tuning of individual access points and logins."
"It is not a stable solution."
