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

"Juniper Mist offers valuable features like comprehensive network insight, granular policy control, fast device setup, strong security, and efficient SSL traffic management."
"You can easily monitor, manage, and cover all your IT equipment."
"For the most part, it does what it's supposed to do, and I like it. It's a great product."
"It provides private network access, helping us protect our company’s devices."
"The artificial intelligence feature is very good."
"It's well-detailed in terms of troubleshooting logs."
"The solution is pretty generic and easy to use."
"The AI capabilities of Mist Wireless are superior to other OEMs."
"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."
"Our company sometimes uses the solution's technical support, and we have seen that they sort out our general problems quickly."
"The internet connectivity is good."
"The product's deployment is straightforward."
"The biggest lesson that I've learned from using the Insight access points is that there is no need for expertise."
"The initial setup of NETGEAR Insight Access Points was straightforward."
"This solution has been a big return on investment."
"[Being] able to configure the WiFi devices and to see utilization remotely, or from the cloud."
 

Cons

"The price could be better."
"The product should include adaptive Wi-Fi to show a more accurate location."
"Juniper needs to improve the hardware quality of Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points."
"Supporting multiple protocols would be beneficial."
"However, cloud services are slightly costlier compared to competitors, which is a minor issue."
"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."
"The solution is expensive."
"The pricing should be made cheaper."
"Due to certain shortcomings in the solution's stability, I feel that the solution's stability requires improvement."
"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."
"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."
"The product's UI needs to be simplified and made more straightforward."
"Software-wise, they need to provide the ability to kick users out."
"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."
"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."
"A con is the backend system which is very, very slow."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is expensive."
"I rate Juniper Mist's pricing a ten out of ten since it is expensive."
"If a customer has a budget of around five lakhs in Indian currency, they can afford Juniper products."

"The pricing is fair."
"The pricing is too high."
"For what you get, the price of Insight access points is very reasonable."
"I think that the price of the product is reasonable."
"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."
"It wasn't much more than 100 dollars a year. For the devices that we have, the pricing was pretty fair."

"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."
