Offers good performance, good solution and smooth implementation
I do have a suggestion: 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. If there are access points from other brands installed nearby; they can cause interference and disrupt the range of our Mist access points. So, the security features could be stronger, especially in terms of authentication. The connectivity is excellent, but security needs improvement. In future releases, integrating more AI features would be beneficial. If Mist had stronger AI features, it could provide better security against network threats and cyberattacks. So, this solution still needs to improve its AI capabilities. It would be great if the AI could improve the range of the access points, and auto-protect functionality should be there to avoid interference by other nearby access points and enhance threat detection. In the future, I'd like to see stronger threat detection features integrated with Mist, as well as better detection of nearby access points that might cause interference.

A combination of artificial intelligence, machine learning, and data science techniques to optimize user experiences
We manage a sizable building that houses our office workspaces, comprising approximately six hundred offices. Our primary requirement is to deploy WiFi access across these offices. This serves as the initial use case. The second use case arose during the COVID-19 pandemic, prompting us to explore…

The solution is easy to setup and use but it lacks features and is expensive to scale
Our company has fifteen technicians who use the solution to monitor IT networks for our clients.  The most valuable feature is the availability of end devices.  The solution does not include enough features and has some performance issues.  We would like traffic analysis to drill down to network…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The product is quite user-friendly and easy to deploy, so one should definitely consider buying it."
"The solution is very secure."
"The simplicity is great."
"Mist AI is a very powerful feature. Juniper is the only company that has introduced AI into networking."
"It's well-detailed in terms of troubleshooting logs."
"The solution is stable."
"Juniper Mist offers valuable features like comprehensive network insight, granular policy control, fast device setup, strong security, and efficient SSL traffic management."
"It provides private network access, helping us protect our company’s devices."
"Has an extremely good feature set."
"Mist AI and Cloud have definitely improved the functioning of our organization. The access to the Internet, including its speed and reliability, has significantly improved."
"Multi PSK (Pre-shared Key) is a very good feature in the solution...Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"Mist AI and Cloud is the best solution I have seen in the industry, especially from the artificial intelligence perspective, as it helps businesses."
"The most valuable aspect is that they operate on small microservices, offering numerous open APIs that enhance the value of our Wi-Fi network. This flexibility allows us to optimize various aspects such as workforce planning and occupancy management. The platform is highly open in the market, providing robust APIs for seamless integration with other tools. Currently, we leverage these capabilities at a building site, incorporating IoT sensors to gather data. The collected data is stored in a centralized location, and we plan to use AI for analysis. This analysis will include insights on peak activity times, humidity levels, temperature variations, and other relevant metrics within the building."
"The cost is the most valuable aspect of this solution."
"The tool's best part is the GUI. It is user-friendly and fast due to AI features. The solution can help you fix things with AI, which is impressive."
"There are several valuable features. One of them is Cibas, and another one is Marvis."
"The most valuable feature is the availability of end devices."
 

Cons

"The solution is expensive."
"The price could be better."
"They should include SD-WAN features to it."
"The pricing should be made cheaper."
"I need a bit more time with it before criticizing the features."
"There is room for improvement in terms of support and installation."
"Supporting multiple protocols would be beneficial."
"Juniper should make the products more affordable."
"The solution has various licensing policies. It will be easy to use if it is an open single license."
"The user experience should be improved. It's not user-friendly."
"Juniper should integrate all their dashboards instead of having separate dashboards...Since it lacks the integration of dashboards, Juniper needs to improve it."
"The solution doesn't provide mail notifications currently."
"It would be beneficial to have support for the Chinese language."
"Configuration could be improved."
"If there's one thing I'd like to change, it's the pricing. They are quite expensive, but honestly, it's justified by the value they provide. However, for a simple Wi-Fi connectivity with basic security needs, there are alternatives in the market that offer comparable features at a more budget-friendly price."
"There is no local support for Mist in Brazil."
"The solution does not include enough features and has some performance issues."
