"Enrolling into the tool is a tedious process."
"The pricing is very high in the Indian market."
"The pricing should be made cheaper."
"Mist AI and Cloud should improve its integrations."
"The solution doesn't provide mail notifications currently."
"The solution lacks documentation."
"Regarding opportunities for improvement in Mist, it is notable for its robust cloud portal and integration of artificial intelligence into various services, creating a highly efficient environment for work. However, a drawback lies in the cost associated with its WiFi offerings. With a pricing range of twelve hundred to fifteen hundred dollars for a single Access Point, exclusive of the subscription, it is acknowledged as a relatively expensive solution in the realm of WiFi services. Despite this drawback, the positive attributes of Mist make it a noteworthy option."
"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."
"Mist AI and Cloud need to improve the configuration speed."
"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."
"It would be nice if there was a way to compare access points and hardware so you can always get the same level of performance."
"It could be cheaper."
"The biggest adjustment improvement will come from a price adjustment because the price is quite high; it feels like premium pricing. I suggest shaving off 10 percent to 20 percent. That would help grow users and increase the number of clients."
"The pricing needs to be more clear and licensing could be less expensive."
"The solution needs to have some sort of security offering, like a firewall, for example."
"It could be more stable."
"The cloud controller needs work. My big issue is that all APs can't set static IPs. Also, adding customers to your dashboard is not that easy at all. I wish I could pop out some reporting from the dashboards as well."
"The solution isn't the cheapest option. However, you are getting a quality product."
