We performed a comparison between Aruba Instant and Mist AI and Cloud based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Wireless LAN solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."With Mist, every Wednesday they roll out new features."
"Overall, we've been very pleased with the performance."
"The artificial intelligence feature is very good."
"The most useful feature of Juniper Wireless AP is the reporting Marvis."
"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 solution is pretty generic and easy to use."
"You can easily monitor, manage, and cover all your IT equipment."
"The AI capabilities of Mist Wireless are superior to other OEMs."
"I've worked with other products, but I prefer Aruba because of its cost and simplicity."
"Allows network monitoring through mobile devices"
"The solution is stable, and we are satisfied."
"The most valuable features of Aruba Instant are management and performance."
"It is easy to use, manage, and implement."
"Aruba Instant is easy to manage."
"I like the Instant On switches and the AP22"
"You don't have to deal with licenses."
"Has an extremely good feature set."
"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. It is user-friendly and fast due to AI features. The solution can help you fix things with AI, which is impressive."
"The cost is the most valuable aspect of this solution."
"If you compare wired versus wireless, it's convenient. You don't need to have one place for connectivity. You can move around and it's easier. Sometimes it's a hassle to work with wires, which is why wireless is so convenient."
"Natural language patching is an important feature."
"The triangulation feature can be used to determine where a person is in relation to the access point."
"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."
"I need a bit more time with it before criticizing the features."
"Juniper Wireless AP can improve by continually improving its reporting and integration with other systems."
"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."
"Enrolling into the tool is a tedious process."
"The solution is expensive."
"The product should include adaptive Wi-Fi to show a more accurate location."
"The pricing should be made cheaper."
"Improving third-party integration is key for Juniper Mist's next release."
"There was only ever one case in which an access point failed, but it was reintegrated. The issue was more of a matter of oversight. One part of the network had covered ten access points."
"Although built-in troubleshooting tools are available, they are not at all intuitive to use. Aruba Instant lacks decent documentation to use for troubleshooting wireless issues (fortunately there aren’t many)."
"The solution should be able to support more users on the access points."
"Aruba Instant should not have a limit on users for future releases."
"If you need to access the master access point the integration between the two becomes quite expensive."
"The product’s GUI must be improved."
"The meshing could use improvement but aside from that nothing else really needs improvement."
"The product's high cost is an area where improvements are required."
"Mist AI and Cloud need to improve the configuration speed."
"The solution has various licensing policies. It will be easy to use if it is an open single license."
"Juniper should integrate all their dashboards instead of having separate dashboards...Since it lacks the integration of dashboards, Juniper needs to improve it."
"There seems to be different versions of standards used in the wireless access points. In the future, it would be helpful if the solution could come up with some kind of universal standard for all devices and all access points."
"There is no local support for Mist in Brazil."
"Mist AI and Cloud should be marketed more and focus on making partners in the industry."
"Configuration could be improved."
"The solution doesn't provide mail notifications currently."
