"The most valuable feature of Juniper Mist is the Virtual Network Assistant, powered by artificial intelligence."
"The artificial intelligence feature is very good."
"With Mist, every Wednesday they roll out new features."
"The simplicity is great."
"You can easily monitor, manage, and cover all your IT equipment."
"The solution is stable."
"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 configuration is very simple."
"The initial setup is very simple."
"I would rate the stability of this solution a ten out of ten."
"When an error or alert happens, I receive it in the application. I do not have to be there to know if something is wrong."
"The app and the provisioning are the best features of the product. It was really impressive that I was able to just provision it remotely. I didn't have to be on-site with my friend, and we were just able to get everything up and operational. So, the app is great. It sends me notifications when things are down, and it tells me how everything is doing."
"The solution is scalable."
"The initial setup is easy."
"The product is scalable. It has 20 users."
"The solution is easy to use."
"We use the solution's bandwidth shaping, URL filtering, and group policy configuration features."
"The product's cloud controller is easy to use."
"The ability to manage it remotely is the most valuable. If it has an internet connection, you can get to it. It is a great product for remote clinics. We kind of thought about doing this kind of standalone technology. Meraki is easy to manage. From a management perspective, it is the easiest to use, especially in the cloud. I like Meraki. I even have it in my home."
"I like the record that is being kept and multiple SSDs."
"It's a stable product."
"It's easy to manage and provides a clear network view, allowing efficient navigation down to the network details."
"It's simple to manage when there's a problem."
"I need a bit more time with it before criticizing the features."
"The product should include adaptive Wi-Fi to show a more accurate location."
"Improvement is needed in the user-friendliness of Juniper Mist, particularly in enhancing the interaction with AI features."
"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."
"Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points’ support services need improvement."
"If you want to do more specific stuff, it's a bit limited."
"The pricing should be made cheaper."
"The solution is expensive."
"If anything, its reporting could be improved."
"It is suitable for smaller organizations, but it may not be the best choice for large enterprises."
"The solution can be more integrated with other brands."
"The tool is priced high."
"While it is mostly scalable, there are some limitations."
"The limited functionality of the mobile app restricts its use primarily to small and medium-sized setups, making it less suitable for enterprise-level solutions."
"The solution's range could be better."
"It's only suitable for smaller offices. It doesn't scale well."
"It is expensive. Juniper seems to have a lot more to offer for future expansion. Juniper has some features that are not there in this solution."
"The user interface needs to be improved."
"The logging sometimes doesn't give us the granularity needed. Some of the rules are a bit more complicated. The switch ports on the routers are not individually addressable, in the sense that with a switch you can tell what MAC address is on what port but with the security appliances, you can't, which would be beneficial for troubleshooting."
"It lags a bit in providing reports for Wi-Fi performance."
"There's nothing that special about it."
"Cisco Meraki Wireless LAN's management tools need enhancement."
"I would like to see them improve their support where an assigned engineer can take the case all the way to closure. Usually, you get a different engineer calling regarding the same ticket."
"In the next release, I would like to see a third-party high tech center to connect multiple users to a particular network."
