"Has an extremely good feature set.""The triangulation feature can be used to determine where a person is in relation to the access point.""Natural language patching is an important feature.""If you compare wired versus wireless, it's convenient.

Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten.""The AI deployment process involves adding access points and placing them in the designated area. The AI system automatically adjusts channel selection and transmission power without any issues with stability or throughput. It has improved network performance.""The tool's best part is the GUI.

The solution can help you fix things with AI, which is impressive.""Multi PSK (Pre-shared Key) is a very good feature in the solution...Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."

Cons
"Juniper Wireless AP can improve by continually improving its reporting and integration with other systems.""Improvement is needed in the user-friendliness of Juniper Mist, particularly in enhancing the interaction with AI features.""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.""Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points’ support services need improvement.""There is room for improvement in terms of support and installation.""Improving third-party integration is key for Juniper Mist's next release.""The pricing is very high in the Indian market.""The product should include adaptive Wi-Fi to show a more accurate location."

More Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points Cons →

"Configuration could be improved.""There could be more integration.""Sometimes it takes a lot of time for the access point to connect with the cloud.""The solution doesn't provide mail notifications currently.""The inter-functionality with other vendors was a negative for us.""Juniper should integrate all their dashboards instead of having separate dashboards...Since it lacks the integration of dashboards, Juniper needs to improve it.""Currently, the solution lacks the ability to configure with other solutions from other vendors.""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."
