Offers good performance, good solution and smooth implementation

I do have a suggestion: 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. If there are access points from other brands installed nearby; they can cause interference and disrupt the range of our Mist access points. So, the security features could be stronger, especially in terms of authentication. The connectivity is excellent, but security needs improvement. In future releases, integrating more AI features would be beneficial. If Mist had stronger AI features, it could provide better security against network threats and cyberattacks. So, this solution still needs to improve its AI capabilities. It would be great if the AI could improve the range of the access points, and auto-protect functionality should be there to avoid interference by other nearby access points and enhance threat detection. In the future, I'd like to see stronger threat detection features integrated with Mist, as well as better detection of nearby access points that might cause interference.

Reliable management , easy to set up, and good performance

In general, we have a good experience with Unifi switches in our conference rooms. However, we have faced several issues in the last year. We tried changing the cabling, switch, and power injector, but the problems persisted. We also use Unifi in hotels and conference rooms, but only one…

Cons

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

"Juniper should make the products more affordable."

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

"The pricing is very high in the Indian market."

"Improving third-party integration is key for Juniper Mist's next release."

"The pricing should be made cheaper."

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

"There is room for improvement in terms of support and installation."

More Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points cons

"It is suitable for smaller organizations, but it may not be the best choice for large enterprises."

"Stability largely depends on how access points are installed and managed. While Aruba cannot entirely ensure connection reliability, the deployment approach can minimize wireless link downtime."

"I believe there's room for improvement in the validation process, especially for customers facing compliance issues when managing access points from the cloud. It would be beneficial if the access points could also be managed from an on-premises controller. Regarding additional features, customers express interest in enhancing the controller, specifically improving the capability to manage a higher number of access points from the same controller. This feature is crucial for better scalability. Another feature that customers would appreciate is the ability to increase the number of access points. However, the current process for obtaining this permission can be time-consuming, and customers would like to see improvements in this regard."

"The setup is not very easy. It requires some experience with Wi-Fi, especially with cloud connection and security."

"The pricing could be a little cheaper."

"I want the product to be made available at a cheaper price point."

"The Unifi Controller is slower compared to other options like Aruba."

"I would like to see a feature that blocks, increases, or decreases bandwidth capacity for devices."

More Aruba Instant On Access Points cons

"We have some issues with stability. It is not so fast. That is the main problem."

"There should be more remote support for the mobile application."

"The technical support could be improved."

"There is room for wider improvements and additional features to enhance managing capabilities."

"Omada's ordering platform could be improved, though. Some of their distributors are a pain to work with."

"TP-Link Auranet EAP is not very efficient, they need to improve it."

"It is less affordable for smaller businesses."

"The solution takes a long time to switch to another connection, which should be improved."

More Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points pricing and cost advice

"The price of Aruba Instant On Access Points is reasonable. They are competitively priced. I've even used it in my home at one time because of the low price."

"You buy it for $165 an AP, which is what we paid."

"Aruba Instant On Access Points are license-free. It's a very good and cheap solution for wireless networks. It can be compared with solutions from Ubiquiti and TP-Link, but it is in a different class. Aruba Instant On Access Points are cheaper than those from Cisco, Ruckus, and Motorola. It's perhaps the cheapest one. They do not use licenses, so it is a solution from the box. You don't need to pay extra money or deal with hidden payments."

"It is expensive."

"It is competitively priced. It was at a price point that made sense for me to put in my home, and that says something. The cost of the solution includes everything we need to manage and upgrade our Wi-Fi network, including the mobile management app. Having the licensing and all the functionality built into the base price of the product is really important for me. There are no extra costs for the security feature or automatic software/firmware updates, which is really important to me."

"It's a cost-effective solution."

"I rate the product's pricing a six on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive."

"Its price is fair. It is not really cheap, and it is also not expensive. It is in the middle."

More Aruba Instant On Access Points pricing and cost advice

"The price of the solution is not a lot for five people to use it."

"There is no need to pay for the licensing costs since my company is in South Africa. Omada Access Points can be termed as a medium-priced product."

"On a scale of one to ten for pricing, with one being cheap and ten being expensive, I would rate Omada Access Points at a one for its cost-effectiveness."

"We don't have to pay for the license because the solution has no subscription cost."

"The cost of Omada is much better than Aruba and Cisco, and it does what we need it to do in most cases. Around 10 percent of our clients need a more carrier-grade solution for mobile platforms."

"TP-Link provides solutions that are more cost-effective than other well-known brands."

"Its benefit is that it is cost effective."

"The price is affordable, and we haven't had any additional costs due to having a limited number of users."

Overview

Juniper Wireless Access Points work in conjunction with Juniper Mist Cloud Services and Mist AI to deliver premier wireless access capabilities. The Juniper Mist Edge extends microservices to the campus to bring agility and scale while enabling new applications at the edge.

Ingredients for success.

Fast 802.11ac Wave 2, secure employee and guest access, easy-to-use web, and mobile app management.

Say yes to secure Wi-Fi access.

Pre-built access control lists (ACLs) and built-in firewall in the access points prevent malicious traffic from entering your network – we call it “hassle-free” security.

Never drop an important call.

With Instant On, voice and video business applications are automatically prioritized, so you stay connected with your peers.

Omada access points provide a business-class wireless network solution that’s flexible, manageable, secure, and easy-to-deploy. The free EAP Controller software allows users to manage hundreds of EAPs at multiple sites, all from a single location. The ability to control, adjust and visualize the entire network from any connected PC makes centralized business Wi-Fi management more efficient than ever before. Omada EAPs also feature captive portal and advanced RF management functions, which make them ideal for demanding, high-traffic environments such as campuses, hotels, malls and offices.
