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.

Affordable, resilient, and performs better than other solutions in the market

Assurance capabilities must be improved. There should be more Assurance features on the Wireless LAN Controller. A lot of it is bundled into the DNA Center. Having a little more Assurance regarding what the RF Spectrum looks like will be good. Juniper Mist has a lot of analytical data on the dashboard. The customers would be compelled to look at DNA Center as a longer-term and more comprehensive solution if Cisco were to give them an insight into some of the Assurance capabilities that might be available in DNA Center. The tool must provide something like RF Neighbor. It must enable organizations to receive signal strength and signal-to-noise ratio and see how clients perform in their wireless network. It must have a cap. If we want additional functionality to see our entire network, that's where DNA Center fits in.

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"In terms of reporting, in terms of all the user reports, it's very rich."

"It's well-detailed in terms of troubleshooting logs."

"The most valuable feature of Juniper Mist is the Virtual Network Assistant, powered by artificial intelligence."

"For the most part, it does what it's supposed to do, and I like it. It's a great product."

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

"Juniper Mist offers valuable features like comprehensive network insight, granular policy control, fast device setup, strong security, and efficient SSL traffic management."

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

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

More Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points pros

"Our organization has improved using this product because it helps enhance user experience. We use video communication a lot, like Skype. We used to get a lot of interference before and had a lot of issues during wireless voice or video calls. We get greater speed and performance with wireless now. It is nearly the same as a wired network."

"One of the most valuable features we have found is security"

"It's very easy to configure the access points."

"The features that I have found most valuable with Cisco Wireless is that the average connectivity for this WIFI access point is 2.5 gigabytes. That's the highest technology and highest connectivity. They started using the new technology and WIFI to get you a faster connectivity."

"Its stability is most valuable."

"The product has valuable features for integration and authentication."

"The product’s stability is great."

"It is a very stable solution."

More Cisco Wireless pros

"The features that I like the most are the visibility and the firewall, which is very good."

"The most valuable feature is the seamless connection between the end-user on the wireless side."

"We can see what the network is being used for or where problems may be."

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

"The solution is very stable."

"Built-in guest analytics and advanced guest portal features allow our customers to create a guest experience which is typically only available with complex and expensive third-party software."

"The initial setup was easy."

"We have found Mojo to be critical for us because of its patented security and its wireless intrusion prevention system (WIPS). It is unique in the market."

More Mojo Networks pros

Cons

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

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

"Though certain security features are integrated into the product, my company has to always look forward to tightening certain security functionalities in the solution."

"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."

"Enrolling into the tool is a tedious process."

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

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

"The solution is expensive."

More Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points cons

"The solution's pricing should be improved."

"The product’s interface must be improved."

"In the next release, I would like to have support for Wi-Fi 6."

"The solution could improve by having more advanced features, such as AI that is able to do diagnosis on the network or detect incorrect configurations and is able to tell you what is the recommended practice. Additionally, it would be a benefit to have smart antennas that are able to track your movement, Wi-Fi 6 support, better transfer rates, low latency, stronger signals that can penetrate thick walls, and zero packet losses."

"Its licensing has been very frustrating. There is also the complexity of managing the product. These are probably the two reasons why we're looking at Aruba. The way they license this product is not simple. There are some good features in the latest version, but there are additional license costs as well, which is frustrating for us. It is not really a feature issue for us. It really comes down to cost and licensing. They should make it a bit simpler to manage. We find the overall solution a little bit more complex than we would like to deal with. Its troubleshooting is a bit difficult, and it does require a high skill set. Comparatively, Aruba seems quite simple. One of the benefits of the Aruba product is that it is cloud-managed. We don't have to manage the management platform itself, whereas Cisco is on-premise. Its user interface could also be better."

"Improvement needed in RRM, ATF, Ortho-Polarization, AP concurrent client processing."

"There should be an option for a wireless bridge that can be used to join two access points."

"Older versions used to be hard to deploy. The latest OS, however, has made things a lot easier. While deployment is much better, it could always be even easier."

More Cisco Wireless cons

"My only complaint about this product is its availability. Not many people can stock it and ordering from overseas is a challenge."

"The product's initial setup phase and configuration are areas with certain shortcomings where improvements are required."

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

"The distribution can be improved, particularly in this part of the world."

"The renewal costs that come with it are very expensive."

"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 solution is a bit pricier than Cisco."

"The user interface could use improvement, and Mojo is working on it. The features and functions are in two different places, and they are in the process of moving them into one place."

More Mojo Networks cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"The pricing is too high."

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

"The solution is expensive."

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

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

"The pricing is fair."

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

More Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points pricing and cost advice

"The pricing is reasonable."

"I think that the solution is expensive because the customer has to pay for a full year, at a minimum, in up-front costs."

"As far as I know Cisco is very competitive, price-wise. Talk to your third-party vendor. It all depends on the company size - how many employees, how big the building is. If it's wireless, and you have only 50 employees but you're using a large building floor, in that case you need many access points. But if you have 50 employees using two or three rooms, then you probably don't need it and it's going to be high density, so there is a different design. So you need to talk to a subject matter expert. Talk to them and design accordingly."

"It is an expensive solution."

"The product is expensive."

"Never pay the full GPL price."

"We have to pay for the hardware and support is extra and we do pay for the support."

"Its licensing is not simple. There are additional license costs for features, which is frustrating for us. There are some features that are included for free in the base Aruba product, but they are available at additional costs in this solution."

More Cisco Wireless pricing and cost advice

"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."

"We have a term that is renewed every three years."

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

"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."

"I rate the product's price as an eight on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."

"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."

"Since they have only the cloud and on-premises platform, the price looks good compared to the other OEMs like Cisco and Ruckus. For one of the Wi-Fi 6 access points for five years, they might be charging 20,000 to 25,000 INR."

"The price of the solution is too high for our country."
