AI insights have improved wireless visibility and now proactively prevent network issues
I am somewhat uncertain about the room for improvement for Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points because I am sure that some concepts will be incorporated in the future. Recently, HP acquired Juniper, and now under the HP umbrella, we have both Aruba and Juniper Mist, which raises questions about how to compete in the market. Customers often ask me to compare them, and I have to pitch both even though they are from the same organization. Regarding gaps for improvement for Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points, I think pricing is a complicated issue since Cisco can drastically reduce prices, unlike Juniper.

Reasonably priced product with a straightforward deployment process
I never thought about what could be made better in the product since my company is a customer-centric organization where we provide Aruba or NETGEAR, depending on the demands and needs of our customers. The product's UI needs to be simplified and made more straightforward. It would be great if it was possible to send notifications regarding some errors related to the product that can be sent from our company to our clients through the organization's post-sales team.

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 feature of Juniper Mist is the Virtual Network Assistant, powered by artificial intelligence."
"The most useful functions or features in Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points are the insights that tell you what is going on inside your Wi-Fi network, and you can easily find that on the dashboard with analytics."
"The AI capabilities of Mist Wireless are superior to other OEMs."
"The artificial intelligence feature is very good."
"With Mist, every Wednesday they roll out new features."
"It's well-detailed in terms of troubleshooting logs."
"Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points save considerable time compared to legacy vendors such as Cisco, Ubiquiti, or Cambium, which require extensive troubleshooting."
"The solution is very secure."
More Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points pros
"The metrics demonstrate that NETGEAR really does a good job of balancing the load between the various access points on the networks and this results in an elimination of downtime."
"We use NETGEAR's Insight management solution to do off-property controls. It is user-friendly and provides network management, monitoring, and service deployment across multiple remote and local sites. That means I don't have to be physically at a location to do things if I want to make any changes to the network. It saves time and money."
"The product's deployment is straightforward."
"[Being] able to configure the WiFi devices and to see utilization remotely, or from the cloud."
"The meshing capabilities are the most valuable feature. When I am going in-between buildings, my phone doesn't have to pick up different WiFi. They are all the same. Even in-between the buildings, I stay connected."
"From the WiFi aspect, it's very intuitive and easy to use. The solution enables me to manage my entire WiFi from anywhere in the world..."
"Our company sometimes uses the solution's technical support, and we have seen that they sort out our general problems quickly."
"I'm able to do a lot of things, because the GUI is designed very well. I'm able to remotely make certain changes via my phone and apply them right away. It makes life easier when it comes to managing the equipment. The Insight management solution phone app is very good. It enables me to do what I want to do."
More NETGEAR Insight Access Points pros
 

Cons

"They should include SD-WAN features to it."
"I suggest that the AI tool in the Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points needs to be a little bit more ChatGPT-like, allowing easier communication in normal language instead of requiring specific prompts."
"If you want to do more specific stuff, it's a bit limited."
"The reporting logs require improvement in terms of clarity because it can be difficult to find specific information about network influences."
"The pricing is very high in the Indian market."
"Juniper should make the products more affordable."
"There is room for improvement in terms of support and installation."
"Supporting multiple protocols would be beneficial."
More Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points cons
"Due to certain shortcomings in the solution's stability, I feel that the solution's stability requires improvement."
"The biggest issue I've had is that it works very well with the WiFi, but it does not offer any assistance at all with the routers. You can't control them or manage them at all. As soon as you want to use anything on the network side—because I have multiple 28-port switches—you can't manage them using this app."
"A con is the backend system which is very, very slow."
"Software-wise, they need to provide the ability to kick users out. If multiple users are abusing the system or the network, I should be able to block them for a time and, when I need to unblock them, I should be able to do so by using their MAC ID. That feature might already be there and I just don't know about it."
"There is always room for improvement."
"The pricing and standard connectivity can be further improved."
"The product's UI needs to be simplified and made more straightforward."
"Ubiquiti is a very good company. NETGEAR should look at that model and expand on its remote capabilities. Ubiquiti seems to have a better product."
More NETGEAR Insight Access Points cons

More Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points pricing and cost advice
"We have some basic models they give without a license."
"Their pricing is perfect for smaller businesses who are money and budget conscious. There are a lot of other solutions out there that are two to three times more expensive."
"The pricing seems to be reasonable."
"It wasn't much more than 100 dollars a year. For the devices that we have, the pricing was pretty fair."
"I can source the stuff pretty quickly wherever I go through the distributor. There is pricing available at NETGEAR if you can spend between $2,000 and $5,000 on a solution. So, there is special pricing that they can help with. The vendor's reps are very responsive. They have a good channel system."
