A highly scalable solution empowered with an AI-driven network management system
I use the solution to pull videos from buses in a bus terminus The bus drivers were not declaring ticket sales done on the bus. The solution helps us to know exactly how many tickets they've sold and how much money they've collected. It doesn't allow the drivers to steal money from the bus…

Offers good scalability, interface, and is easy to deploy
The product is very good quality. Deployment is very easy and fast. We primarily use it with switches. In a few cases, we actually installed Wi-Fi access points. We typically use it for our suites and benefit suites The build quality is very good, and the scalability is good. I also like the…

Without using a third-party, I can deploy a network with software built-in
The user-friendliness of the Insight management solution is good. Like everything, it has its idiosyncrasies. Sometimes, it is a challenge when adding a device. Certain devices have been harder to register. I'm not trying to knock it. I'm just trying to say everything has its areas of improvement, and device registration might be one area. NETGEAR is on this and addressing this issue. The registration is annoying. I have to go back to NETGEAR and log tickets. Access points and router registration are something that they need to address in Insight. They need to fix the bug of getting the devices activated and enrolled in Insight without fighting with them. I have probably done about six of these in the last month. You get to see patterns. However, once it is up and running, it's so useful to me that I don't mind. I'm a tech guy, so I don't mind dealing with small glitches. I use the Insight management solution app on my phone. Though, it is not as good as managing network access points on my computer.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The most valuable feature of the solution is Marvis, the AI-driven network management system."
"The solution is very secure."
"Overall, we've been very pleased with the performance."
"The most useful feature of Juniper Wireless AP is the reporting Marvis."
"In terms of reporting, in terms of all the user reports, it's very rich."
"The most valuable feature of Juniper Wireless Access Points (AP Series) is the ability to troubleshoot ports on the network. Additionally, when there is an update on the APs they are able to reboot quickly reducing downtime. Other solutions have a longer downtime when updates are done."
"With Mist, every Wednesday they roll out new features."
"The solution is stable."
"I like the product's signal continuity and range. We can receive the signal up to 20-30 meters from the wireless antenna."
"The most valuable feature of D-Link Wireless is its durability."
"The initial setup process was easy."
"This product is user-friendly and we can manage it as per the requirements of the user."
"D-Link is a good product that is quite affordable and I recommend it."
"The product's initial setup phase is easy."
"The tool supports new technologies."
"D-Link Wireless is a tool that is used since it is an easy and user-friendly product."
"The metrics demonstrate that NETGEAR really does a good job of balancing the load between the various access points on the networks and this results in an elimination of downtime."
"The internet connectivity is good."
"The initial setup of NETGEAR Insight Access Points was straightforward."
"Our company sometimes uses the solution's technical support, and we have seen that they sort out our general problems quickly."
"The product's deployment is straightforward."
"I am all about simplicity. With the Insight management solution, I don’t need an additional cloud controller, appliance, network manager, or PC/server to configure and manage my access points. You have to look at cost, and everything has a cost. There is a cost to using Insight. But if the cost is reasonable, I don't want another layer. The ability to deploy a network and then have that software built-in, without having to go to a third-party, is big. Also, the less pieces that I have to call in on, the better. So, when I'm calling NETGEAR, it's not like I'm using some third-party piece of software to manage their product. It doesn't add that layer of complexity, which is key."
"We use NETGEAR's Insight management solution to do off-property controls. It is user-friendly and provides network management, monitoring, and service deployment across multiple remote and local sites. That means I don't have to be physically at a location to do things if I want to make any changes to the network. It saves time and money."
"The meshing capabilities are the most valuable feature. When I am going in-between buildings, my phone doesn't have to pick up different WiFi. They are all the same. Even in-between the buildings, I stay connected."
 

Cons

"The pricing should be made cheaper."
"If you want to do more specific stuff, it's a bit limited."
"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 product should include adaptive Wi-Fi to show a more accurate location."
"The pricing is very high in the Indian market."
"I need a bit more time with it before criticizing the features."
"There is room for improvement in terms of support and installation."
"It would definitely help if we had more advanced features for distributing bandwidth."
"The solution doesn't have hotspots. Users can't set it up so that visitors can log in via Facebook or social media as they can at, for example, airports. D-Link should include hotspots that offer integration with social media. That way, visitors don't need to be asking people for passwords. They can just use Facebook."
"Password restriction: Sometimes we set a password and it uses that password but, after some days/months, the password gets changed and a few laptops still use old the password while a few use the new password. The password restriction option needs to improve."
"The only issue is with the controller visibility of the devices connecting to the network."
"D-Link Wireless’s stability needs improvement."
"The stability could be a bit better."
"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."
"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)."
"The biggest issue I've had is that it works very well with the WiFi, but it does not offer any assistance at all with the routers. You can't control them or manage them at all. As soon as you want to use anything on the network side—because I have multiple 28-port switches—you can't manage them using this app."
"I have some frustrations with the ease of use. It tends to be sluggish. The graphical interface is pretty, but not useful. They have this tree that shows connected devices, which makes no sense whatsoever because the labeling field of the tree truncates all the items to the point that it's almost useless. You can't even tell what it is. I would prefer a spreadsheet list of the gear as opposed to a graphical representation."
"My major problem is right now, the area which I need to cover is around 7,000 to 10,000 square feet...I would like NETGEAR Insight Access Points to extend the area coverage they provide."
"The product's UI needs to be simplified and made more straightforward."
"The pricing and standard connectivity can be further improved."
"Due to certain shortcomings in the solution's stability, I feel that the solution's stability requires improvement."
"A con is the backend system which is very, very slow."
"There is always room for improvement."
