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.

Centralized management has simplified our home Wi‑Fi setup and supports multiple users reliably
Given my experience with NETGEAR Insight Access Points, my piece of advice for other organizations considering it is that they have to look at the rest of their system because NETGEAR Insight Access Points is quite useless with anything but the Wi-Fi system. I rate this product an 8 out of 10.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Mist AI is a very powerful feature. Juniper is the only company that has introduced AI into networking."
"The most valuable feature of Juniper Wireless Access Points (AP Series) is the ability to troubleshoot ports on the network. Additionally, when there is an update on the APs they are able to reboot quickly reducing downtime. Other solutions have a longer downtime when updates are done."
"Juniper Wireless AP has allowed my IT directors and other IT personnel to not have to focus on the wireless aspect of our network."
"You can easily monitor, manage, and cover all your IT equipment."
"The visibility is good, the controller is very nice and easy to work with, and the bottom line is it's a good vendor and it's a good solution for WiFi."
"The simplicity is great."
"The product is quite user-friendly and easy to deploy, so one should definitely consider buying it."
"With Mist, every Wednesday they roll out new features."
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."
"The internet connectivity is good."
"The solution enables me to manage my entire network from anywhere in the world."
"The biggest lesson that I've learned from using the Insight access points is that there is no need for expertise."
"The product's deployment is straightforward."
"I now have the ability to remote access my network, which works extremely well and saves me time and travel because I can access it from any place without needing to be physically at the device."
"The initial setup of NETGEAR Insight Access Points was straightforward."
"Our company sometimes uses the solution's technical support, and we have seen that they sort out our general problems quickly."
More NETGEAR Insight Access Points pros
 

Cons

"Enrolling into the tool is a tedious process."
"Juniper Wireless Access Points (AP Series) could improve if the MIST platform had a built-in master key. This would be an advantage."
"If you want to do more specific stuff, it's a bit limited."
"The pricing should be made cheaper."
"Though certain security features are integrated into the product, my company has to always look forward to tightening certain security functionalities in the solution."
"I need a bit more time with it before criticizing the features."
"The solution is expensive."
"The price could be better."
More Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points cons
"I put in a NETGEAR BR200 router and it gave me a lot of headaches when trying to create VLANs."
"A con is the backend system which is very, very slow."
"There is always room for improvement."
"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."
"While the data throughput does provide us with full insight into data being used, we find that it's not very accurate."
"The registration is annoying. I have to go back to NETGEAR and log tickets. Access points and router registration are something that they need to address in Insight. They need to fix the bug of getting the devices activated and enrolled in Insight without fighting with them. I have probably done about six of these in the last month. You get to see patterns."
"My major problem is right now, the area which I need to cover is around 7,000 to 10,000 square feet...I would like NETGEAR Insight Access Points to extend the area coverage they provide."
"A con is the backend system which is very, very slow."
More NETGEAR Insight Access Points cons

"The pricing is fair."
"The solution is expensive."
"If a customer has a budget of around five lakhs in Indian currency, they can afford Juniper products."
"I rate the pricing an eight out of ten."
More Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points pricing and cost advice
"Price-wise, it is a little too high, about $20 higher than what it should be, but it's worth it. It's cheaper than Cisco's access point, but the products are not apples to apples."
"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."
"For what you get, the price of Insight access points is very reasonable."
"The pricing seems to be reasonable."
"We have some basic models they give without a license."
"It is an expensive solution."
