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.""In terms of reporting, in terms of all the user reports, it's very rich.""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 simplicity is great.""With Mist, every Wednesday they roll out new features.""The most valuable feature of the solution is Marvis, the AI-driven network management system."

"D-Link Wireless is a tool that is used since it is an easy and user-friendly product.""I like the product's signal continuity and range. We can receive the signal up to 20-30 meters from the wireless antenna.""The setup process is very easy.""It's scalable, user friendly, and easy to manage.""The tool supports new technologies.""The initial setup process was easy.""The solution is extremely easy to install. You just add them and in a few clicks, they are ready to go.""The most valuable feature of D-Link Wireless is its durability."

"The internet connectivity is good.""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...""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.""[Being] able to configure the WiFi devices and to see utilization remotely, or from the cloud.""The product's deployment is straightforward.""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.""The initial setup of NETGEAR Insight Access Points was straightforward.""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."

Cons
"They should include SD-WAN features to it.""Enrolling into the tool is a tedious process.""The pricing is very high in the Indian market.""Improving third-party integration is key for Juniper Mist's next release.""Improvement is needed in the user-friendliness of Juniper Mist, particularly in enhancing the interaction with AI features.""I need a bit more time with it before criticizing the features.""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."

More Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points Cons →

"The performance offered by D-Link Wireless can be a bit problematic at times, owing to which it is an area that can be considered for improvement.""It would definitely help if we had more advanced features for distributing bandwidth.""The only issue is with the controller visibility of the devices connecting to the network.""Sometimes we configure the SSID with a password but the same AP shows two WiFi connections with the same SSID name (one is protected by a password and another one give access without a password).""The cloud managed solution needs improvement, and they should focus on the SD-WAN segment with regard to integration.""In future, it would also be good to have a switch within D Link that works as well as the Cisco 9200 Switch.""Sometimes, the solution needs to be restarted.""The support offered by the product needs to be faster with better technical personnel."

More D-Link Wireless Cons →

"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.""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.""Due to certain shortcomings in the solution's stability, I feel that the solution's stability requires improvement.""The pricing and standard connectivity can be further improved.""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.""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."
