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 most useful feature of Juniper Wireless AP is the reporting Marvis."

"The solution is stable."

"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."

"It's well-detailed in terms of troubleshooting logs."

"The solution is pretty generic and easy to use."

"The most valuable feature of the solution is Marvis, the AI-driven network management system."

"In terms of reporting, in terms of all the user reports, it's very rich."

"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."

More Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points pros

"Our company sometimes uses the solution's technical support, and we have seen that they sort out our general problems quickly."

"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..."

"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."

"[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."

"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."

"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."

Cons

"It would be helpful to have even stronger security features to help protect against interference from other nearby access points that aren't part of our network."

"I need a bit more time with it before criticizing the features."

"Supporting multiple protocols would be beneficial."

"Enrolling into the tool is a tedious process."

"The solution is expensive."

"Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points’ support services need improvement."

"Though certain security features are integrated into the product, my company has to always look forward to tightening certain security functionalities in the solution."

"The pricing should be made cheaper."

More Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points cons

"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."

"There is always room for improvement."

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

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

"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."

"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."

"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."

"Managing users could be improved as it is quite difficult to block someone, and it is impossible to block someone on one specific access point."

"The pricing is something Juniper Wireless Access Points (AP Series) can work on. The pricing is very high compared to the competition."

"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."

"The pricing is fair."

"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."

More Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points pricing and cost advice

"I think that the price of the product is reasonable."

"The pricing seems to be 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."

"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."
