Gyan Sharma - PeerSpot reviewer
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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"With Mist, every Wednesday they roll out new features."
"For the most part, it does what it's supposed to do, and I like it. It's a great product."
"Juniper Mist offers valuable features like comprehensive network insight, granular policy control, fast device setup, strong security, and efficient SSL traffic management."
"The most valuable feature of Juniper Mist is the Virtual Network Assistant, powered by artificial intelligence."
"The solution is pretty generic and easy to use."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is Marvis, the AI-driven network management system."
"It provides private network access, helping us protect our company’s devices."
"Overall, we've been very pleased with the performance."
"ExtremeWireless is known for its strong security engine, Air Defense, which provides necessary wireless security assistance to many of my customers."
"The platform's most valuable feature is the ability of its access points to adapt and self-heal."
"The technical support from Extreme Networks is perfect."
"It provides seamless connectivity if you move around."
"In terms of the most valuable features, I like the integration with the fabric. The network fabric completely integrates with wireless as well."
"The cloud-based solution allows for easy management and monitoring of traffic and congestion."
"ExtremeWireless is a flexible solution."
"The monitoring system is integrated with AI features."
"Stable and scalable."
"I like that HPE's management functions are GUI-based, so it doesn't rely on command lines."
"The solution is highly stable."
"The HPE Ethernet switches have very low latency."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the interface and configuration. It's very easy to use."
"he stability is very good on this solution. There have been no bugs, glitches or crashes."
"I value that there is a clear place to find a MAC table with HPE Ethernet Switches."
"HPE Ethernet Switches offer a good return on investment. They offer a lifetime warranty, which is good. Cisco SMB level only declares a one-year warranty, and for the enterprise level, you need to get a service pack, which costs extra."
 

Cons

"If you want to do more specific stuff, it's a bit limited."
"The pricing should be made cheaper."
"I need a bit more time with it before criticizing the features."
"There is room for improvement in terms of support and installation."
"Improvement is needed in the user-friendliness of Juniper Mist, particularly in enhancing the interaction with AI features."
"They should include SD-WAN features to it."
"Juniper Wireless AP can improve by continually improving its reporting and integration with other systems."
"Improving third-party integration is key for Juniper Mist's next release."
"Many companies prefer Aruba over ExtremeWireless, possibly due to Aruba's broader range of products or their thorough approach to understanding customer needs."
"It is a subscription model, so it is maybe a bit pricey."
"The performance of the access points could be improved."
"ExtremeWireless should fix some general bugs and make the user interface more user-friendly."
"The product must be provided at a cheaper price."
"The cost is a little high."
"In the next release, I would like to see more security features."
"Wireless products, in general, have room for improvement compared to wired ones, which are more stable."
"They could provide platform integration with other management tools for better reporting."
"A lower price would be an improvement because we always want to reduce our costs."
"VLAN can be improved, but I have to check that with the company expert. I have different switch models, but they don't have all the same interface. I don't know whether lower-level switches don't have the same interface as the better quality ones. I might have two different model types."
"The management of the tool must be improved."
"I would like to see more updates for the solution."
"The VLAN tagging could be improved,"
"The solution could be more stable."
"The pricing could be lowered."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Juniper Wireless AP's price is a little more expensive than other solutions, but you get what you pay for."
"I rate Juniper Mist's pricing a ten out of ten since it is expensive."
"We pay maybe 1000 SEK per year, per access point."
"The solution is expensive."
"The pricing is too high."
"I rate the pricing an eight out of ten."
"The pricing is something Juniper Wireless Access Points (AP Series) can work on. The pricing is very high compared to the competition."
"The pricing is fair."
"I rate the product's pricing a three or four out of ten."
"I rate the price of Extreme Wireless a three out of five."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"ExtremeWireless isn't budget-friendly. The hardware costs around 20,000 Indian rupees. We're still using an older controller, so it doesn't require a license, unlike the newest versions of the ExtremeWireless controller."
"The solution is priced well and we currently are only paying for a license for maintenance."
"Our access points device is at its end of life. I can buy one more and then I must buy a new device, but if it is a new device it will not support the old virtual appliance. I would need to upgrade our virtual appliance to the next version or build a new virtual appliance with new devices, and it's not good for us. The overall licensing subscription could be better."
"ExtremeWireless is subscription-based for both cloud and on-prem solutions, and it's quite expensive."
"The solution has a yearly subscription, and we have to pay additional costs for technical support."
"We have to pay for a yearly license for HPE Ethernet Switches."
"It is a more expensive solution."
"There are no licensing costs for this solution."
"HPE Ethernet Switches is a fairly cheap solution."
"The tool's pricing is very cheap."
"All the solutions have a license for the QSFP. Additionally, there is a one-time license fee to increase the interface speed."
"There are free software updates and there is a lifetime warranty for a few of the switch series."
"The licensing cost is yearly, and there aren't any additional costs on top of the standard fee."
