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.

Cons

"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."

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

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

"The pricing should be made cheaper."

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

"The price could be better."

"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."

More Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points cons

"The product's UI needs to be simplified and made more straightforward."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"The pricing and standard connectivity can be further improved."

"Due to certain shortcomings in the solution's stability, I feel that the solution's stability requires improvement."
