A cost-effective cloud controller solution for real-time detection
Customers are increasingly focusing on seamless roaming between Dell Ruckus access points. They want to know how quickly and reliably their devices can switch connections as they move around, minimizing downtime and disruptions. Specifically, they are interested in the frequency and aggressiveness of roaming protocols, ensuring smooth transitions without disconnecting from the network. Overall, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.

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.
