    Has an easy implementation process, but the performance monitoring feature could be more intuitive
    The project implementation was easy overall. Adapting Cisco's solutions to our specific environment required effort, as their documentation only covers some network scenarios. The deployment didn't happen all at once; it was staged and controlled to ensure a smooth transition. We started with a small test environment before gradually rolling it out to all campuses. This gradual approach helped mitigate the risk of any issues arising across multiple locations simultaneously, especially on a critical day like Monday morning. We have a team of three executives working on the process. Their job roles included network specialists and a manager. It requires maintenance, which is included in the annual cost. We receive updates and support as part of the renewal process.

    AI-driven insights have transformed enterprise network management and reduced issue resolution time
    Juniper Mist Wired Assurance is a great solution for the enterprise area because it allows for easy and very fast deployment and easy maintenance. Juniper Mist Wired Assurance provides services such as AI assistance, which helps find different issues, and a virtual assistant that recommends what you should do to resolve these issues. It is a very scalable solution because we can deploy thousand switches in several minutes. The capabilities of Juniper Mist Wired Assurance that I find most useful include zero-touch provisioning. We can deploy any switch from the box by only connecting the switch to the internet. Each switch has a QR code on the box that we can scan to add the switch to our organization, and the switch gets all needed configuration that we have prepared before. We can use different templates for each site or the same configuration for all switches in the organization, regardless of how many sites we have. The real-time anomaly detection of Juniper Mist Wired Assurance is effective because this solution uses AI and a virtual assistant, allowing us to decrease the quantity of problem cases. The virtual assistant quickly finds different problems on the whole network and sends messages to the administrator or system administrator with recommendations on how to resolve the problem. End users cannot open a ticket because the administrator resolves the problem. The predictive analytics tools in Juniper Mist Wired Assurance include premium analytics as a different license. When we use this analytics, we get a lot of useful information over a long period of time. We can get information about the whole network, as well as about end users and devices, such as computers, and everything that connects to the network. This solution allows us to check the quality of network transmission. It constantly uses Marvis Minis, which is a cloud service that checks every hour if the network works properly. The automated network health metrics in Juniper Mist Wired Assurance utilize templates that are used by automatic tools in the Mist cloud. This very simplified deployment and maintenance approach works for all networks. When we need to change one function on all switches, we can use this template to do it very quickly and automatically. We can also use settings to update all switches to the recommended JTAC version of JUNOS, and this task will be done automatically. The impact of AI-driven insights on operational efficiency in Juniper Mist Wired Assurance helps improve network reliability and allows us to find and resolve any issues quickly.

    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 is the assistance for network support."
    "In terms of reliability especially, Cisco is light years ahead."
    "The map overview of our campus environment shows the distribution of RF frequency channels and the distribution of a client, providing us with a great idea of where the busier areas are within our environment to allow us to tweak and tune."
    "The most valuable feature of Cisco Prime is the heat map."
    "If an AP or any wireless device goes into critical mode, Cisco Prime sends an alert. That is the most helpful feature."
    "Cisco Prime, from a management perspective, has good reporting."
    "We use the solution to control the physical service station that is part of the SCADA network. We connect and control them remotely."
    "Cisco Prime has been around for a long time, and it keeps getting better and better."
    More Cisco Prime [EOL] pros
    "The most valuable feature of Juniper Mist Wired Assurance is zero-touch provisioning for query edge switches. You can connect the switch directly to your edge locations and then directly onboard, similar to the Cisco Meraki solutions."
    "The product greatly improved our organization in terms of making configuration, deployment, and firmware upgrades easy for multiple automated devices."
    "The customer chose this solution because it helped reduce the number of trouble tickets. It’s easy to deploy and troubleshoot, as the solution uses AI to identify root issues."
    "Juniper Mist Wired Assurance is a great solution for the enterprise area because it allows for easy and very fast deployment and easy maintenance."
     

    Cons

    "The solution is not easy to configure. It's not user-friendly for admins."
    "Cisco needs to improve Prime's monitoring tab. If any device goes down, there is a 15-second lapse before we know. It would be much better if we were alerted two or three minutes before a device is about to fail, so we can dispatch a field engineer and avoid network downtime. I would like to see a feature that allows you to access the devices directly from Prime's monitoring tab. That would make work easier for us."
    "Maybe it could be a little cheaper."
    "The solution has issues with real time monitoring of devices and NetFlow such as inadequate visualization for reports, sources, and destinations."
    "Now, the complexity has increased, so the quality of work also has taken a slight hit with respect to their TAC support especially."
    "Cisco Prime is slow at times, we often have to restart the database to run reports or to gain access."
    "The product is expensive compared to other vendors in the market."
    "If you look at some of the wireless site-survey tools that are available in the commercial space, Cisco should include similar solutions, which would help our on-plant engineers when they're doing a site survey."
    More Cisco Prime [EOL] cons
    "The configuration aspect of the solutions is relatively new, but I have had positive experiences. However, for more advanced tasks, such as VXLANs on the EX platform, Juniper Mist Wired Assurance may not be the best option due to certain limitations. Nonetheless, it does have a CLI override feature for specialized configurations that cannot be done through the GUI."
    "This cloud solution is built on microservices, and Juniper continuously adds new ones to enhance performance or introduce additional services."
    "The platform’s monitoring tool is not up to the mark. It is not proactive enough and lacks some capabilities. Additionally, they should work on providing integration with other vendors."
     

    Pricing and Cost Advice

    "I would rate the solution's pricing an eight out of ten."
    "I would rate the pricing of Cisco Prime a seven out of ten."
    "We update the license every five years."
    "The product is expensive compared to other vendors in the market."
    "The price of Cisco Prime was reasonable because we purchased it as part of a Cisco One package. The package was a bundle of Cisco solutions together, such as Cisco ISE and CMX. The price is reasonable com compared to other solutions."
    "The product's performance monitoring feature could be more intuitive."
    "I rate the solution's pricing an eight out of ten."
    "You need to get special quotes from the company for each order."
