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.

Simple-to-use platform with a centralized management system

Deploying Cisco Meraki Wireless LAN is relatively easy for our colleagues in the delivery department. They face challenges in planning, learning critical issues, and finding solutions during deployment. However, our team has gained valuable experience handling such deployments over the past three to four years. Currently, I am not directly involved in the configuration, design, or delivery analysis. However, maintenance may present more challenges for us. Our primary proposal for network solutions typically involves Cisco Meraki because our team has a long-standing familiarity and confidence in Cisco technologies. However, we also work with Fortinet, depending on the specific requirements of our customers. We offer both options to ensure we meet the diverse needs of our clients. I rate it an eight out of ten.

Offers great control and visibility to users, along with availability on the cloud

The other solutions did not offer the visibility that Mojo Networks offered. During the rolling out of the installation process, you have to go through the on-premises model to be able to make some changes. If somebody needs to make necessary changes, you must go to the on-premises model with the initial product. With the cloud solution, you don't have to go for the on-premises model, as you can make the changes over the cloud. The stability offered by Mojo Networks is better than the other products available in the market since, with other tools, you need to keep restarting them frequently, and it may be required once or twice a day, especially if it is used as an enterprise solution or in an enterprise environment, where the traffic is too high, causing the build-up of a lot of cache memory, fill-ups, and SRAM, a reason why one will have to restart such products.

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

"The solution is very secure."

"The product is quite user-friendly and easy to deploy, so one should definitely consider buying it."

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

More Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points pros

"The product's most beneficial feature impacting network security is the ability to provide centralized security management."

"The flexibility, since it's a cloud service, is the most valuable feature of this solution."

"This product offers cloud-based configuration, so you can set it up from anywhere."

"Security is top-notch with WIPS (Wireless Intrusion Prevention System)."

"Initial setup was straightforward."

"We just plugged it in and it worked. That just doesn't happen. We plugged it in and it worked and all 100 kids got on the test and started testing."

"It is a hundred percent scalable product since its functionalities are good...It is a very stable product."

"It's scalable. You don't have to configure an access point. Literally, if I needed a new one, I just take it right out of the box, go plug it into our network. It finds our Mojo network, and then it talks to the other access points that are close to it, and then it literally adopts the policies, and meshes itself in our network."

"For support, we do not have to deal with a whole phone menu tree. You get to talk to an engineer right away."

More Mojo Networks pros

Cons

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

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

"Enrolling into the tool is a tedious process."

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

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

"Supporting multiple protocols would be beneficial."

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

"Juniper Wireless AP can improve by continually improving its reporting and integration with other systems."

More Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points cons

"We haven't had any issues with the solution. We like the way it works. There isn't anything I can think of that makes me worry that it might be lacking in a certain area."

"The solution's pricing could be improved."

"Overall the solution needs to have more time to mature."

"There is only one particular thing that needs improvement. Sometimes, for example, when you need to open a ticket, although it's under the umbrella of Cisco, you still need to go to the Meraki support."

"We face a bottleneck on the gateway while using the solution for large enterprises."

"The initial setup was simple. However, the full deployment could be easier."

"The initial setup of the solution can be improved and made easier."

"If there are advanced features that you can have enabled, they should allow users access to that in an easier manner."

More Cisco Meraki Wireless LAN cons

"The implementation could be simplified. Right now it's a bit complex."

"Further expanding the API and access to even more diagnostics, as I have found a few limitations when I am dealing with them right now."

"Needs greater simplicity in the management portal. Currently, the Mojo portal presents different “apps” to configure the devices, create splash pages, configure security settings, and monitor the network. This can be confusing, although Mojo has made great strides in combining these into “Aware”."

"The customer service and support took a lot of time to come on the troubleshooting call."

"The setup was complex."

"Compared to other OEMs, Mojo Networks or Arista faces a little bit of coverage issues. So, if we put the same dBm, the power of the other OEMs indicates much more extensive coverage compared to Mojo or Arista."

"They could use more additional application security and network security features. They could add on to the WiFi as a selling point. It would be nice to be able to say to the WiFi users, "We will protect you against viruses and malware, so you don't have to purchase that.""

"The user interface needs improvement. It could be a little bit more user-friendly."

More Mojo Networks cons

"The solution is expensive."

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

"The pricing is too high."

"The pricing is fair."

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

"If a customer has a budget of around five lakhs in Indian currency, they can afford Juniper products."

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

More Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points pricing and cost advice

"It could be more affordable than other solutions."

"The price of the product could be cheaper."

"The price of Cisco Meraki Wireless LAN could be improved, it is too expensive. We pay for the solution on an annual basis."

"As is always the case, the price could be better, although I do not recall exactly how much this comes out to."

"I don't deal with pricing directly, however, it's my understanding that it is around $40 per unit."

"The cost of both the hardware and licensing is high, and it is more than what I would prefer to spend currently."

"Cisco Meraki Wireless LAN's pricing is high."

"Its price is high and should be reduced."

More Cisco Meraki Wireless LAN pricing and cost advice

"The pricing was a good value and substantially less than some of the other products that we looked at. In some cases, with some of the big names, this product was even close to half the price."

"There are other solutions, like Ubiquiti, that have lowered their prices, which sometimes makes the argument to go with them. However, we do not bake in the WiFi for other vendors into our managed services, because they do not meet our standard offering."

"They have been a great price competitor against some of the other big brands, like Meraki, especially for cloud-based WiFi. However, Meraki has been more expensive. They beat Meraki on features for the WiFi, which makes them a better choice even if the price is the same."

"Pricing includes the planning tools, management, security, analytics, and advanced guest WiFi capabilities. It's always better to buy the longest term available for the best ROI. However, device will continue to function without valid cloud license."

"In Australian dollars, we buy it for five years at $1,200."

"The cost is a one-time fee."

"The license is provided per access point, so you buy an access point and you use it."

"It requires a license and that's a recurring cost and that has a really high cheque value."
