"The implementations are easy."
"The most useful aspect of Mist AI and Cloud is automation capabilities."
"The Marvis feature of Mist AI, an artificial intelligence tool, is very useful."
"The cost is the most valuable aspect of this solution."
"If you compare wired versus wireless, it's convenient. You don't need to have one place for connectivity. You can move around and it's easier. Sometimes it's a hassle to work with wires, which is why wireless is so convenient."
"The AI deployment process involves adding access points and placing them in the designated area. The AI system automatically adjusts channel selection and transmission power without any issues with stability or throughput. It has improved network performance."
"Multi PSK (Pre-shared Key) is a very good feature in the solution...Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The triangulation feature can be used to determine where a person is in relation to the access point."
"Regarding features, the solution seems to be very intuitive."
"I hope Cisco can improve the capacity to service a high density of users in a small area, as currently we have difficulties with this."
"We feel that Cisco is quite expensive, so we're looking for a reasonable alternative. We are considering Aruba and some other brands that are less expensive. Cisco works fine, but the issue is the annual licensing and support costs."
"The DNA space is a separate license cost, which should be included in the license."
"There are some limitations with scaling the on-premises version - if you want to scale, you need to change the hardware and purchase a new wireless controller at an additional cost."
"The only thing I would like to see is better high availability if you're using the embedded wireless controller."
"There are a number of areas for improvement in Cisco Wireless WAN, including sensitive applications which face issues on wireless stuff and difficulty troubleshooting."
"A lot of the time, for users, it comes down to pricing. Many would like to see it be a bit less costly."
"The pricing could be improved in future releases. It's quite expensive."
"Currently, the solution lacks the ability to configure with other solutions from other vendors."
"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."
"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."
"The user experience should be improved. It's not user-friendly."
"Mist AI and Cloud should improve its integrations."
"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."
"There are some technical issues that may require attention"
"Mist AI and Cloud should be marketed more and focus on making partners in the industry."
