We performed a comparison between Cisco Wireless and Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Wireless LAN solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Overall, Cisco was stable and worked well for all our needs until we started having more and more students and teachers using YouTube and Zoom — what with classes being isolated and everything — which put a lot of strain on our Wi-Fi network."
"Compared to other solutions, captive guest network is one of the best isolation and tunneling."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the Cisco CleanAir and Cisco RRM."
"The most valuable features are that it is easy to install and the range is good."
"Before COVID, the emphasis was primarily on wireless connectivity in specific areas like conference rooms. However, with the shift to remote work and increased mobility, coverage areas needed to be expanded to accommodate users throughout the entire location. We are beginning to expand our infrastructure."
"The ability to make different types of networks, such as land networks, is the most valuable part of the solution."
"Cisco Wireless is scalable."
"Our organization has improved using this product because it helps enhance user experience. We use video communication a lot, like Skype. We used to get a lot of interference before and had a lot of issues during wireless voice or video calls. We get greater speed and performance with wireless now. It is nearly the same as a wired network."
"In terms of reporting, in terms of all the user reports, it's very rich."
"The most valuable feature of Juniper Mist is the Virtual Network Assistant, powered by artificial intelligence."
"The simplicity is great."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is Marvis, the AI-driven network management system."
"The solution is stable."
"The artificial intelligence feature is very good."
"You can easily monitor, manage, and cover all your IT equipment."
"It provides private network access, helping us protect our company’s devices."
"The price should be reduced. It should be cheaper."
"We've recently had hardware issues which have caused us some problems."
"The software quality could be improved, in particular for the new Cisco Aironet Series 2800/3800 Access Point which is pretty Linux-based."
"There is a problem with the controller. When we have to restart the controller, it does not show the time. We have to manually configure the time when we restart it. I have read about this issue, to get some information, and all answers are about having to connect it with a time server, which is very difficult."
"The coverage area of Cisco Wireless could improve. Additionally, the reports when a problem arises could be better, such as how it is done in Aruba Wireless solutions. In the Aruba wireless solutions, there are reports that are provided regarding uploads, downloads, and other internet activity that are useful. If this feature was added to Cisco that would be a benefit."
"It's expensive."
"The coverage provided by the solution is an area of concern in some cases, making it an area where improvements are required."
"Assurance capabilities must be improved."
"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."
"They should include SD-WAN features to it."
"The solution is expensive."
"The price could be better."
"The product should include adaptive Wi-Fi to show a more accurate location."
"The pricing should be made cheaper."
"I need a bit more time with it before criticizing the features."
