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

"The simplicity is great."
"The most useful feature of Juniper Wireless AP is the reporting Marvis."
"The AI capabilities of Mist Wireless are superior to other OEMs."
"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."
"It provides private network access, helping us protect our company’s devices."
"I have completed over twenty projects using Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points, and I continue to see exceptional performance in the areas of user capacity, user experience, and user satisfaction."
"It's well-detailed in terms of troubleshooting logs."
"Mist AI is a very powerful feature. Juniper is the only company that has introduced AI into networking."
More Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points pros
"[Being] able to configure the WiFi devices and to see utilization remotely, or from the cloud."
"The initial setup of NETGEAR Insight Access Points was straightforward."
"I find the centralized management of NETGEAR Insight Access Points very beneficial because we are using five access points, and it is quite useful to be able to manage them centrally."
"The product's deployment is straightforward."
"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."
"I am all about simplicity. With the Insight management solution, I don’t need an additional cloud controller, appliance, network manager, or PC/server to configure and manage my access points. You have to look at cost, and everything has a cost. There is a cost to using Insight. But if the cost is reasonable, I don't want another layer. The ability to deploy a network and then have that software built-in, without having to go to a third-party, is big. Also, the less pieces that I have to call in on, the better. So, when I'm calling NETGEAR, it's not like I'm using some third-party piece of software to manage their product. It doesn't add that layer of complexity, which is key."
"The internet connectivity is good."
"The biggest lesson that I've learned from using the Insight access points is that there is no need for expertise."

Cons

"Juniper should make the products more affordable."
"Improvement is needed in the user-friendliness of Juniper Mist, particularly in enhancing the interaction with AI features."
"The price could be better."
"However, cloud services are slightly costlier compared to competitors, which is a minor issue."
"The solution is expensive."
"Juniper needs to improve the hardware quality of Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points."
"If you want to do more specific stuff, it's a bit limited."
"Though certain security features are integrated into the product, my company has to always look forward to tightening certain security functionalities in the solution."
More Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points cons
"While the data throughput does provide us with full insight into data being used, we find that it's not very accurate."
"I have some frustrations with the ease of use. It tends to be sluggish. The graphical interface is pretty, but not useful. They have this tree that shows connected devices, which makes no sense whatsoever because the labeling field of the tree truncates all the items to the point that it's almost useless. You can't even tell what it is. I would prefer a spreadsheet list of the gear as opposed to a graphical representation."
"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."
"The registration is annoying. I have to go back to NETGEAR and log tickets."
"I put in a NETGEAR BR200 router and it gave me a lot of headaches when trying to create VLANs."
"There is always room for improvement."
"When it comes to features needing improvement, the WAX610, WAC540 and the WAX610Y do not reliably stay online and this is especially true of the WAC540."
"Due to certain shortcomings in the solution's stability, I feel that the solution's stability requires improvement."
More NETGEAR Insight Access Points cons
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the product price as a six on a scale of one to ten, where one is inexpensive, and ten is expensive. It is a reasonably priced tool."
"The pricing is something Juniper Wireless Access Points (AP Series) can work on. The pricing is very high compared to the competition."
"We pay maybe 1000 SEK per year, per access point."
"I rate the pricing an eight out of ten."
"The solution is expensive."
"I rate Juniper Mist's pricing a ten out of ten since it is expensive."
"Juniper Wireless AP's price is a little more expensive than other solutions, but you get what you pay for."
"If a customer has a budget of around five lakhs in Indian currency, they can afford Juniper products."
More Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points pricing and cost advice
"My company does not need to pay anything related to the solution's licensing costs."
"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."
"The pricing seems to be reasonable."
"For what you get, the price of Insight access points is very reasonable."
"It wasn't much more than 100 dollars a year. For the devices that we have, the pricing was pretty fair."
"It is an expensive solution."
"We have some basic models they give without a license."
"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."
