"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."
"The triangulation feature can be used to determine where a person is in relation to the access point."
"Has an extremely good feature set."
"It's really easy to provision and support. Those are its main features."
"I have a very good experience with the solution. Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."

"There could be more integration."
"Currently, the solution lacks the ability to configure with other solutions from other vendors."
"Mist AI and Cloud should be marketed more and focus on making partners in the industry."
"There is no local support for Mist in Brazil."
"Configuration could be improved."
"In future releases, they need to add some router models. Because currently, it supports only SSR and WAN routers. But adding other routers would be good."
"Juniper should integrate all their dashboards instead of having separate dashboards...Since it lacks the integration of dashboards, Juniper needs to improve it."
"The solution has various licensing policies. It will be easy to use if it is an open single license."
