Offers good automation capabilities, freeware and flexibility with APIs

I have experience with SolarWinds and ManageEngine. SolarWinds is good, but it requires learning and understanding. With Zabbix, if we get the OID [Object Identifier] from the vendor, we can create templates and monitor any device quickly. With SolarWinds or ManageEngine, we sometimes need to wait for the developers to create monitoring solutions. We have less waiting time with Zabbix. I find Zabbix faster than commercial solutions when a new device needs monitoring. So, the learning curve is a bit easier with Zabbix. My team learned Zabbix independently using online resources. We find resources on the internet. No one attends official training. I think it's good practice, learning this way.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most useful feature of Juniper Wireless AP is the reporting Marvis."

"The solution is very secure."

"The most valuable feature of the solution is Marvis, the AI-driven network management system."

"The simplicity is great."

"The solution is stable."

"It provides private network access, helping us protect our company’s devices."

"The solution is pretty generic and easy to use."

"You can easily monitor, manage, and cover all your IT equipment."

More Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points pros

"Natural language patching is an important feature."

"Ability to control the access points by groups."

"AI is the most valuable feature."

"If you compare wired versus wireless, it's convenient. You don't need to have one place for connectivity. You can move around and it's easier. Sometimes it's a hassle to work with wires, which is why wireless is so convenient."

"Regarding features, the solution seems to be very intuitive."

"The most valuable aspect is that they operate on small microservices, offering numerous open APIs that enhance the value of our Wi-Fi network. This flexibility allows us to optimize various aspects such as workforce planning and occupancy management. The platform is highly open in the market, providing robust APIs for seamless integration with other tools. Currently, we leverage these capabilities at a building site, incorporating IoT sensors to gather data. The collected data is stored in a centralized location, and we plan to use AI for analysis. This analysis will include insights on peak activity times, humidity levels, temperature variations, and other relevant metrics within the building."

"Mist AI and Cloud have definitely improved the functioning of our organization. The access to the Internet, including its speed and reliability, has significantly improved."

"The cost is the most valuable aspect of this solution."

More Mist AI and Cloud pros

"There is less computing power needed for scaling."

"The most valuable features of Zabbix are flexibility and a single interface for different types of monitoring."

"Zabbix can use old data to current data to set the threshold. We can use previous data to set the threshold."

"The solution is open-source, easy to manage, and user-friendly making it easy for anyone to use."

"It is a great product. The SNMP protocol tracking feature is good. I really like how it tracks SNMP. The alerts are also great."

"The template system in Zabbix is very beneficial as it saves time in configuration."

"The solution allows for good integration with other products."

"Dashboard and the customization of the items and triggers are the most valuable features."

More Zabbix pros

Cons

"The solution is expensive."

"The product should include adaptive Wi-Fi to show a more accurate location."

"Enrolling into the tool is a tedious process."

"The price could be better."

"Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points’ support services need improvement."

"It would be helpful to have even stronger security features to help protect against interference from other nearby access points that aren't part of our network."

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

"If you want to do more specific stuff, it's a bit limited."

More Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points cons

"It would be beneficial to have support for the Chinese language."

"Regarding opportunities for improvement in Mist, it is notable for its robust cloud portal and integration of artificial intelligence into various services, creating a highly efficient environment for work. However, a drawback lies in the cost associated with its WiFi offerings. With a pricing range of twelve hundred to fifteen hundred dollars for a single Access Point, exclusive of the subscription, it is acknowledged as a relatively expensive solution in the realm of WiFi services. Despite this drawback, the positive attributes of Mist make it a noteworthy option."

"There is no local support for Mist in Brazil."

"The solution has various licensing policies. It will be easy to use if it is an open single license."

"The inter-functionality with other vendors was a negative for us."

"Mist AI and Cloud should improve its integrations."

"Sometimes it takes a lot of time for the access point to connect with the cloud."

"The solution lacks documentation."

More Mist AI and Cloud cons

"The stability could be better."

"The main problem with Zabbix is that you have to spend time writing templates for all of the products that you have."

"The networking monitor is not too easy to work with."

"It should be easy to modify the front end."

"There's a small module of APM, however, it is not an enhanced version. People usually ask for a full-fledged APM solution."

"The System Center Operations Manager can be improved."

"The documentation gets a bit messy between versions and is not too detailed, which is a bit painful for first-timers, especially when they run into issues."

"We would like to monitor other touchpoints such as ATM machines. It would be great if it can provide monitoring of ATM machines. Compatibility with other products would also be great."

More Zabbix cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is too high."

"The solution is expensive."

"Juniper Wireless AP's price is a little more expensive than other solutions, but you get what you pay for."

"I rate the pricing an eight out of ten."

"The pricing is something Juniper Wireless Access Points (AP Series) can work on. The pricing is very high compared to the competition."

"We pay maybe 1000 SEK per year, per access point."

"The pricing is fair."

"I rate Juniper Mist's pricing a ten out of ten since it is expensive."

"The custom licensing is a little bit expensive and I would rate it 7.5 out of 10."

"The solution's price is too high for the end-users. My customers pay 1,000 USD towards the licensing cost of the solution every year."

"The solution is expensive in Brazil."

"I rate the pricing a seven on a scale of one to ten, where one is low and ten is high."

"The price is about the same compared to other vendors. There is an add-on license, but it's up to you if you want to buy it or not."

"Depending on the features, I think it's quite reasonably priced, especially considering the facilities of the product."

"The annual cost is a significant issue for us, and it notably contributes to the overall price. We have a customer with nearly fifty-eight access points in a multifunctional building, and while the setup was relatively simple, the yearly licensing cost is substantial. For the specific features we utilize, the licensing amounts to about forty thousand euros annually. This is not a trivial expense and significantly impacts the overall cost, making it quite high."

"The price of Mist AI and Cloud is approximately 20 percent less than competitors, such as Aruba and Cisco. However, Cisco has a lifetime warranty for its solutions."

More Mist AI and Cloud pricing and cost advice

"There is no license but we need to pay for support."

"We were searching for an open source solution and Zabbix fit the bill because it is free and open source under the GPL license."

"The solution is free to use but they offer support as a paid service. If you can go read the manuals and do the fine-tuning based on your needs, you do not need to pay anything and you will have a full solution."

"This solution is open-source and free to use."

"There are no licenses."

"Zabbix is open-source so if one wishes to implement it in-house, they must have qualified professionals to set up and optimize databases, Linux/Unix OS, PHP, Apache, and depending on what is monitored, a full-stack network and systems administrator may be needed."

"We purchased Zabbix for a good price, including support"

"My manager is very happy because it doesn't cost anything."
