Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Juniper Mist offers valuable features like comprehensive network insight, granular policy control, fast device setup, strong security, and efficient SSL traffic management.""The artificial intelligence feature is very good.""You can easily monitor, manage, and cover all your IT equipment.""The most valuable feature of the solution is Marvis, the AI-driven network management system.""The most useful feature of Juniper Wireless AP is the reporting Marvis.""With Mist, every Wednesday they roll out new features.""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.""It provides private network access, helping us protect our company’s devices."

More Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points Pros →

"We're using SD-WAN at all of our locations now, which helps increase and aggregate and lower response time and improve application performance.""With Fortinet, there is a feature called Network-In-Control. It's the AP controller that decides what the clients are going to connect to... Even though your phone sees, let's say, two APs, since the wireless controller has visibility into and access across all the APs, it knows the best AP for the client to connect to. This way, the controller makes sure that none of the APs is over-crowded, and the spectrum is used properly.""I found that It's really good when comparing it to any other product or it is much better in terms of features that the customer requires.""The firewall integration is very important for the security of the connection.""I use Fortinet FortiWLM for wireless communication and the internet.""The product is a stable solution.""This is the only product on the market currently that supports as many access points for wifi users.""The most valuable features are the roaming profile, the mesh, and the performance."

More Fortinet FortiWLM Pros →

"The most important feature is ease of use. We can simply take an access point and plug it in, then it is automatically configured for us.""Their Cognitive WiFi analytics (Mojo Aware) is the biggest feature on their dashboard. It helps us know where the problem, so we don't have to spend time with the customer diagnosing it.""The configuration is simple and the reports can be automated.""Mojo Networks (Arista WiFi) is extremely secure with WIPS, built-in wireless.""For support, we do not have to deal with a whole phone menu tree. You get to talk to an engineer right away.""The cloud-based architecture of the controller is valuable because it obviously saves on my hardware costs.​""We can see what the network is being used for or where problems may be.""The features that I like the most are the visibility and the firewall, which is very good."

More Mojo Networks Pros →

Cons
"There is room for improvement in terms of support and installation.""They should include SD-WAN features to it.""I need a bit more time with it before criticizing the features.""Improving third-party integration is key for Juniper Mist's next release.""If you want to do more specific stuff, it's a bit limited.""The pricing is very high in the Indian market.""The product should include adaptive Wi-Fi to show a more accurate location.""Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points’ support services need improvement."

More Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points Cons →

"One of the main features that I see as lacking in any of the Fortinet products is the reporting. If you want to have proper, end-to-end reporting, you must purchase the FortiAnalyzer... If Fortinet could offer some better, built-in reporting, that would be a point of improvement.""I have used Cisco previously and I don't see any specific differences from Fortinet FortiWLM or other vendors.""The guest management features need to be improved by adding automation.""In the next release, they could improve by adding a controller-less server, or architecture that is provided in other solutions, such as Aruba. This would be a great benefit for customers.""Documentation could be improved.""The range needs some improvement and also the stability.""Areas for improvement would be the compatibility with Apple products and cross-platform integration.""The pricing for the solution is expensive and can be improved."

More Fortinet FortiWLM Cons →

"Needs greater simplicity in the management portal. Currently, the Mojo portal presents different “apps” to configure the devices, create splash pages, configure security settings, and monitor the network. This can be confusing, although Mojo has made great strides in combining these into “Aware”.""Compared to other OEMs, Mojo Networks or Arista faces a little bit of coverage issues. So, if we put the same dBm, the power of the other OEMs indicates much more extensive coverage compared to Mojo or Arista.""The implementation could be simplified. Right now it's a bit complex.""The renewal costs that come with it are very expensive.""The solution is a bit pricier than Cisco.""Further expanding the API and access to even more diagnostics, as I have found a few limitations when I am dealing with them right now.""They could use more additional application security and network security features. They could add on to the WiFi as a selling point. It would be nice to be able to say to the WiFi users, "We will protect you against viruses and malware, so you don't have to purchase that."""The ​RF signalling and data analytics parts should be improved.​"

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "We pay maybe 1000 SEK per year, per access point."
  • "Juniper Wireless AP's price is a little more expensive than other solutions, but you get what you pay for."
  • "The pricing is something Juniper Wireless Access Points (AP Series) can work on. The pricing is very high compared to the competition."
  • "The pricing is too high."
  • "The solution is expensive."
  • "I rate Juniper Mist's pricing a ten out of ten since it is expensive."
  • "I rate the pricing an eight out of ten."
  • "The pricing is fair."

  • "Licensing has become easier. There is no longer a per-AP license needed on the controller."
  • "If a customer already is a FortiGate customer, the cost to go to the FortiAP is incredibly affordable, because you already have the controller."
  • "For indoor access points, there is a one-time cost, upfront, whereas outdoor access points have an annual fee."
  • "Fortinet would do something with their pricing model to attract smaller business users and eliminate the mandatory service contracts."
  • "There is a perpetual license required for this solution and the price could be reduced."
  • "Support contracts typically cost approximately $100.00 per year."
  • "To save yourself from increased setup and maintenance costs, I highly recommend undertaking a proper site survey from the beginning."
  • "Licensing costs are reasonable. There are so many different types of licenses with Fortinet, but the licensing and the 24/7/365 support are so reasonable that I automatically include it with every transaction. I never line item it without it. There are no additional costs."
  • More Fortinet FortiWLM Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "Of every solution we looked at, every wireless solution, Mojo was a minimum of six figures cheaper. Minimum. Most of them were double, which again is unheard of. Not only do you get all the feature benefits, like everything is there, everything just works, but at the same time, it was a no-brainer, because of the cost. It's almost like you hit the lottery."
  • "Pricing includes the planning tools, management, security, analytics, and advanced guest WiFi capabilities. It's always better to buy the longest term available for the best ROI. However, device will continue to function without valid cloud license."
  • "They have been a great price competitor against some of the other big brands, like Meraki, especially for cloud-based WiFi. However, Meraki has been more expensive. They beat Meraki on features for the WiFi, which makes them a better choice even if the price is the same."
  • "There are other solutions, like Ubiquiti, that have lowered their prices, which sometimes makes the argument to go with them. However, we do not bake in the WiFi for other vendors into our managed services, because they do not meet our standard offering."
  • "The pricing was a good value and substantially less than some of the other products that we looked at. In some cases, with some of the big names, this product was even close to half the price."
  • "The license is provided per access point, so you buy an access point and you use it."
  • "In Australian dollars, we buy it for five years at $1,200."
  • "We have a term that is renewed every three years."
