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.

More Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points pros

"They all have controllers built in, and we manage them all with a web-based management tool."

"It offers features that are essential for an efficient and high-performance wireless LAN deployment, where capacity, coverage, and quality are optimized, and frequency bands are selected based on the specific needs of the network."

"The after-sales services are helpful."

"The product's initial setup phase is very simple and involves just a PnP process."

"The most valuable features of the solution are its range and stability."

"The product has valuable throughput capabilities. It also has an inbuilt spectrum analyzer for stable connectivity."

"It provides good support remotely, and it's very easy to configure."

"What I like best about Cambium Networks Wireless LAN is that it's easy to configure, has no licensing hassle, and is a controller-based solution."

More Cambium Networks Wireless LAN pros

"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."

"Ability to control the access points by groups."

"The tool's best part is the GUI. It is user-friendly and fast due to AI features. The solution can help you fix things with AI, which is impressive."

"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."

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

"The triangulation feature can be used to determine where a person is in relation to the access point."

"Has an extremely good feature set."

"It's really easy to provision and support. Those are its main features."

More Mist AI and Cloud pros

Cons

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

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

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

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

"The solution is expensive."

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

"I need a bit more time with it before criticizing the features."

"Juniper should make the products more affordable."

More Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points cons

"The solution should be scalable, offering better pricing options as we optimize the network for coverage, capacity, and quality"

"The solution’s technical support could be faster."

"Our areas for improvement would be a refresh with the most recent technology available."

"There is room for improvement in the pricing model."

"The capacity and coverage could be improved."

"The problem with this radio wireless technology is that it cannot compete in terms of bandwidth with the fiber optics at this moment. That's the biggest weakness."

"If they could include some sort of web filtering, in-built antivirus, anti-malware, and data stream scanning in the next release."

"Not a lot of technical engineers are familiar with Cambium Networks Wireless LAN. They are familiar with implementing and using other solutions such as Aruba. Therefore, Cambium Networks needs to be more visible in the marketplace."

More Cambium Networks Wireless LAN cons

"Juniper should integrate all their dashboards instead of having separate dashboards...Since it lacks the integration of dashboards, Juniper needs to improve it."

"In future releases, they need to add some router models. Because currently, it supports only SSR and WAN routers. But adding other routers would be good."

"Mist AI and Cloud should be marketed more and focus on making partners in the industry."

"If there's one thing I'd like to change, it's the pricing. They are quite expensive, but honestly, it's justified by the value they provide. However, for a simple Wi-Fi connectivity with basic security needs, there are alternatives in the market that offer comparable features at a more budget-friendly price."

"There seems to be different versions of standards used in the wireless access points. In the future, it would be helpful if the solution could come up with some kind of universal standard for all devices and all access points."

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

"Mist AI and Cloud need to improve the configuration speed."

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