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.

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

"The pricing should be made cheaper."

"The solution is expensive."

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

"They should include SD-WAN features to it."

More Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points cons

"It is a subscription model, so it is maybe a bit pricey."

"The current product line is very high-level and is well suited for enterprise-level organizations, but they need a more cost-effective solution for smaller businesses."

"Technical support is an area that needs to be improved."

"They could provide different product models. Additionally, there could be a feature to manage devices."

More ExtremeWireless cons

"The user experience should be improved. It's not user-friendly."

"There are some technical issues that may require attention"

"Regarding opportunities for improvement in Mist, it is notable for its robust cloud portal and integration of artificial intelligence into various services, creating a highly efficient environment for work. However, a drawback lies in the cost associated with its WiFi offerings. With a pricing range of twelve hundred to fifteen hundred dollars for a single Access Point, exclusive of the subscription, it is acknowledged as a relatively expensive solution in the realm of WiFi services. Despite this drawback, the positive attributes of Mist make it a noteworthy option."

"Currently, the solution lacks the ability to configure with other solutions from other vendors."

"The inter-functionality with other vendors was a negative for us."

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

"Mist AI and Cloud should improve its integrations."

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

More Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points pricing and cost advice

"There are both paid and free licenses of the cloud environment, with only basic functionality in the free version."

"The solution has a yearly subscription, and we have to pay additional costs for technical support."

"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."

"Extreme isn't the most expensive, but it's not a low-cost solution, and because there are no big volumes, you don't receive significant discounts, making the final price higher."

"I rate the price of Extreme Wireless a three out of five."

"I rate the product's pricing a three or four out of ten."

"It's not as expensive as some and is scalable to our needs."

"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."

More ExtremeWireless pricing and cost advice

"The price is not cheap, but it's a reliable solution and very easy for management."

"I rate the pricing a seven on a scale of one to ten, where one is low and ten is high."

"The price of Mist AI and Cloud is approximately 20 percent less than competitors, such as Aruba and Cisco. However, Cisco has a lifetime warranty for its solutions."

"The solution's price is too high for the end-users. My customers pay 1,000 USD towards the licensing cost of the solution every year."

"The custom licensing is a little bit expensive and I would rate it 7.5 out of 10."

"Depending on the features, I think it's quite reasonably priced, especially considering the facilities of the product."
