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.

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.

Well-suited for mobile and portable device usage but issues with stability

The problem is that when the number of users increases, TP-Link automatically drops the speed, and in terms of coverage, it falls short. We are not using any industrial-level equipment or accuracy. We are looking for something at the industrial level, advanced Access Points, not the basic ones from TP-Link. Omada Access Points could be improved in terms of connectivity and speed. That is the main thing. The other thing is security. Currently, most people are sharing their passwords, allowing unauthorized users to access Wi-Fi networks. So, the main areas for improvement are security, accessibility, and speed.

Pros

"The artificial intelligence feature is very good."

"The solution is very secure."

"You can easily monitor, manage, and cover all your IT equipment."

"With Mist, every Wednesday they roll out new features."

"Mist AI is a very powerful feature. Juniper is the only company that has introduced AI into networking."

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

"For the most part, it does what it's supposed to do, and I like it. It's a great product."

"The most valuable feature of Juniper Mist is the Virtual Network Assistant, powered by artificial intelligence."

More Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points pros

"The initial setup of NETGEAR Insight Access Points was straightforward."

"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 metrics demonstrate that NETGEAR really does a good job of balancing the load between the various access points on the networks and this results in an elimination of downtime."

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

"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."

"I now have the ability to remote access my network. That works extremely well. I can access it from any place. I don't need to be physically at the device. This saves me on time and travel."

"The internet connectivity is good."

"I'm able to do a lot of things, because the GUI is designed very well. I'm able to remotely make certain changes via my phone and apply them right away. It makes life easier when it comes to managing the equipment. The Insight management solution phone app is very good. It enables me to do what I want to do."

More NETGEAR Insight Access Points pros

"The most valuable feature of TP-Link Auranet EAP is its high performance."

"The pricing is reasonable."

"The solution has been dependable and has kept up with modern technology."

"The initial setup is not complicated."

"When this solution is set up, it is solid. It offers fast deployment."

"Omada is a good solution that I would recommend, and it is less expensive while providing good results."

"We don't have any issues 90 percent of the time. It works fine in most situations. It has been a success story for delivering WiFi services in Romania. Our customers are happy, and I've been satisfied with Omada's performance as an engineer."

"This product is easy to use."

Cons

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

"The pricing should be made cheaper."

"The solution is expensive."

"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 you want to do more specific stuff, it's a bit limited."

"Enrolling into the tool is a tedious process."

"Juniper Wireless AP can improve by continually improving its reporting and integration with other systems."

"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

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

"While the data throughput does provide us with full insight into data being used, we find that it's not very accurate."

"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."

"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."

"There is always room for improvement."

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

"A con is the backend system which is very, very slow."

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

More NETGEAR Insight Access Points cons

"The solution takes a long time to switch to another connection, which should be improved."

"Aruba has better scaling capabilities."

"Omada needs improvement in the distance it can cover."

"The price of the solution is an area requiring improvement since I want the solution to be made available at a cheaper price than its current market price."

"There should be more remote support for the mobile application."

"TP-Link Auranet EAP is not very efficient, they need to improve it."

"Omada's ordering platform could be improved, though. Some of their distributors are a pain to work with."

"Upgrading the hardware capabilities to newer versions like Wi-Fi 6 or Wi-Fi 7 would be a helpful improvement."
