Wireless projects run smoothly with more access point support and competitive pricing

D-Link Wireless offers more supported APs to the WLC with the default license compared to other brands like Cisco. With Cisco, only four to five APs are connected with the default license, but D-Link Wireless provides more flexibility. Local support in Pakistan is necessary for those with limited budgets, creating a reach in the market.

AI insights have improved wireless visibility and now proactively prevent network issues

I am somewhat uncertain about the room for improvement for Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points because I am sure that some concepts will be incorporated in the future. Recently, HP acquired Juniper, and now under the HP umbrella, we have both Aruba and Juniper Mist, which raises questions about how to compete in the market. Customers often ask me to compare them, and I have to pitch both even though they are from the same organization. Regarding gaps for improvement for Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points, I think pricing is a complicated issue since Cisco can drastically reduce prices, unlike Juniper.

Cons

"In future releases, it can keep improving on countering the new patterns of security attacks."

"The performance offered by D-Link Wireless can be a bit problematic at times, owing to which it is an area that can be considered for improvement."

"It would definitely help if we had more advanced features for distributing bandwidth."

"Sometimes we configure the SSID with a password but the same AP shows two WiFi connections with the same SSID name (one is protected by a password and another one give access without a password)."

"Its interface and support system need much improvement. Sometimes, when we use the interface to reset the password and configure SSIDs, or some other changes, the "Save" option does not show and we have to go to some internal setting and then we can "save" the setting. The “Save” option should be in front of or below of the settings."

"The solution's performance could be improved."

"The support offered by the product needs to be faster with better technical personnel."

More D-Link Wireless cons

"The reporting logs require improvement in terms of clarity because it can be difficult to find specific information about network influences."

"Supporting multiple protocols would be beneficial."

"Juniper should make the products more affordable."

"Though certain security features are integrated into the product, my company has to always look forward to tightening certain security functionalities in the solution."

"Juniper Wireless AP can improve by continually improving its reporting and integration with other systems."

"The pricing should be made cheaper."

"Improvement is needed in the user-friendliness of Juniper Mist, particularly in enhancing the interaction with AI features."

"Enrolling into the tool is a tedious process."
