The tool has given us more visibility, but I'm not very technical, so I can't comment on specific features. However, the diagnostic tools for identifying system issues have greatly improved, which we appreciate. We still use Cisco ICE for authentication on the Juniper network, as we did before. We've seen cost benefits with the Juniper WLC Series, which was a key factor in our decision-making during the proof of concept. Besides cost improvements, we've also noticed better resolution of issues and faults in our help desk, thanks to the enhanced features.

Juniper Wireless is reasonable, with a bit of complexity compared to Alibaba and SQL.

There could be more information from the controller, and it could be easier to work with the controller lights. It's not easy to bring up the upgrades.
