"All the features are very good. The monitoring of the equipment, the configuration manager, and the IP address monitoring are great."
"It's a very good tool and a very stable tool."
"The most valuable features in SolarWinds NPM are the network search and diagnostic tools."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the monitoring capabilities."
"I need a bit more time with it before criticizing the features."
"If you want to do more specific stuff, it's a bit limited."
"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."
"Improvement is needed in the user-friendliness of Juniper Mist, particularly in enhancing the interaction with AI features."
"Juniper Wireless AP can improve by continually improving its reporting and integration with other systems."
"The price could be better."
"The pricing should be made cheaper."
"Juniper Wireless Access Points (AP Series) could improve if the MIST platform had a built-in master key. This would be an advantage."
"There could be more integration."
"The solution doesn't provide mail notifications currently."
"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."
"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."
"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 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."
"Being able to detect devices that are trying to connect wirelessly would make using this solution much easier."
"If they did some type of synthetic monitoring, it would have been better."
"The only thing that can be improved is to continually add to the existing capabilities of the product."
"SolarWinds NPM can be very slow at times. The database optimization can be done to improve the product performance."
"They have had a rather large security breach in the past. It's cost some companies customers."
"It is difficult for stakeholders to translate technical requirements, which results in difficulties selecting a platform or implementing a solution."
"There should be a little bit more integration in some of the other tooling and utilizing the APIs of devices or tools could be a little bit better."
"The solution's customer service is not very good because the support takes too long."
