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 product with load-balancing features that offers scalability to its users

My major problem is right now, the area which I need to cover is around 7,000 to 10,000 square feet, where even the mesh routers don't work out for me because it is a huge area to be covered. To cover huge areas, I will have to put extenders. I will have to use mesh routers with extenders to cover a whole huge area with Wi-Fi. I would like NETGEAR Insight Access Points to extend the area coverage they provide. One of the major problems I see is that when you try to use NETGEAR Insight Access Points, the huge amount of options that are there can only be handled by a person who is experienced or knows the process. So there should be a guide that walks anyone through different options and different things about how to go work with the UI.

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

The main purpose of Access Points is because most of the users use only mobile devices and portable devices. We use other special applications dedicated to our company through mobile devices only. We are connecting to the application. We currently use our ERP systems and other things on an…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It provides private network access, helping us protect our company’s devices."

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

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

"Overall, we've been very pleased with the performance."

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

"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."

"The AI capabilities of Mist Wireless are superior to other OEMs."

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

More Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points pros

"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."

"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 internet connectivity is good."

"[Being] able to configure the WiFi devices and to see utilization remotely, or from the cloud."

"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 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 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."

"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."

More NETGEAR Insight Access Points pros

"Omada Access Points are very good in terms of wired technologies and wired connectivity."

"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."

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

"The initial setup is not complicated."

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

"The pricing is reasonable."

"The most valuable feature of the solution stems from the fact that it is easy to deploy and reliable."

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

More Omada Access Points pros

Cons

"The product should include adaptive Wi-Fi to show a more accurate location."

"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."

"Juniper Wireless Access Points (AP Series) could improve if the MIST platform had a built-in master key. This would be an advantage."

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

"The pricing should be made cheaper."

"Enrolling into the tool is a tedious process."

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

More Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points cons

"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."

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

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

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

"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."

"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."

"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."

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

More NETGEAR Insight Access Points cons

"Omada could add some API integrations that would help with our automated solution. We're trying to integrate, and we're having some issues because some of the calls are not there. The API still needs some development."

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

"Aruba has better scaling capabilities."

"It is less affordable for smaller businesses."

"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."

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

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

"It's better for smaller organizations. This would not work for enterprises. It is not very scalable."

More Omada Access Points cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

More Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points pricing and cost advice

"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."

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

"It wasn't much more than 100 dollars a year. For the devices that we have, the pricing was pretty fair."

"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 is an expensive solution."

"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."

"My company does not need to pay anything related to the solution's licensing costs."

More NETGEAR Insight Access Points pricing and cost advice

"TP-Link provides solutions that are more cost-effective than other well-known brands."

"The cost of Omada is much better than Aruba and Cisco, and it does what we need it to do in most cases. Around 10 percent of our clients need a more carrier-grade solution for mobile platforms."

"Its benefit is that it is cost effective."

"We don't have to pay for the license because the solution has no subscription cost."

"There is no need to pay for the licensing costs since my company is in South Africa. Omada Access Points can be termed as a medium-priced product."

"The price of the solution is not a lot for five people to use it."

"On a scale of one to ten for pricing, with one being cheap and ten being expensive, I would rate Omada Access Points at a one for its cost-effectiveness."

"TP-Link is a good price. They have a good price. But technology-wise, it has to be better."
