More Cambium Networks Wireless LAN Pros →

"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.""Mist AI and Cloud have definitely improved the functioning of our organization. The access to the Internet, including its speed and reliability, has significantly improved.""There are several valuable features. One of them is Cibas, and another one is Marvis.""The Marvis feature of Mist AI, an artificial intelligence tool, is very useful.""Mist AI and Cloud is the best solution I have seen in the industry, especially from the artificial intelligence perspective, as it helps businesses.""AI-driven automation helps implement the solution quickly.""Ability to control the access points by groups.""The tool's best part is the GUI. It is user-friendly and fast due to AI features. The solution can help you fix things with AI, which is impressive."

Cons
"The solution is expensive.""Improvement is needed in the user-friendliness of Juniper Mist, particularly in enhancing the interaction with AI features.""I need a bit more time with it before criticizing the features.""The price could be better.""Juniper Wireless Access Points (AP Series) could improve if the MIST platform had a built-in master key. This would be an advantage.""The pricing is very high in the Indian market.""There is room for improvement in terms of support and installation.""The pricing should be made cheaper."

More Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points Cons →

"The capacity and coverage could be improved.""There is room for improvement in the pricing model.""The problem with this radio wireless technology is that it cannot compete in terms of bandwidth with the fiber optics at this moment. That's the biggest weakness.""I believe there's room for improvement in the configuration options for point-to-point setups directly from the cloud management interface. Currently, the process feels a bit clunky—you monitor the unit in the cloud but need to make configuration changes by editing a text file, then downloading it back to the unit. This method can be error-prone, as even a small mistake in the text file could disrupt the unit's configuration.""The product pricing needs improvement.""The solution’s technical support could be faster.""Not a lot of technical engineers are familiar with Cambium Networks Wireless LAN. They are familiar with implementing and using other solutions such as Aruba. Therefore, Cambium Networks needs to be more visible in the marketplace.""If they could include some sort of web filtering, in-built antivirus, anti-malware, and data stream scanning in the next release."

More Cambium Networks Wireless LAN Cons →

"The inter-functionality with other vendors was a negative for us.""The solution has various licensing policies. It will be easy to use if it is an open single license.""There is no local support for Mist in Brazil.""It would be beneficial to have support for the Chinese language.""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.""Juniper should integrate all their dashboards instead of having separate dashboards...Since it lacks the integration of dashboards, Juniper needs to improve it.""Sometimes it takes a lot of time for the access point to connect with the cloud.""The user experience should be improved. It's not user-friendly."
