Pros
"The solution is pretty generic and easy to use.""With Mist, every Wednesday they roll out new features.""You can easily monitor, manage, and cover all your IT equipment.""The most useful feature of Juniper Wireless AP is the reporting Marvis.""The most valuable feature of Juniper Mist is the Virtual Network Assistant, powered by artificial intelligence.""In terms of reporting, in terms of all the user reports, it's very rich.""The AI capabilities of Mist Wireless are superior to other OEMs.""The simplicity is great."

More Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points Pros →

"The solution offers very good stability.""I like many of the features that Cisco Wireless has to offer.""I like that Cisco Wireless is easy to implement. If you get stuck with any issues, they have ample documentation on the internet. It's easy to implement, and Cisco documentation is easily accessible.""It is a reliable and robust solution. Access and Mobility Groups are useful. We don't use anything very fancy.""Cisco's technical support is very good, I've never had an issue with their technical support.""Stable and scalable with good technical support.""Wireless connectivity is the main feature. It is also securely integrated with ISE, which is valuable because, in the banking industry, we also cover the security aspect. This Wi-Fi controller integrates with the ISE system that we have. Every user that comes on the wireless needs to log in with the domain. If they don't, it will not allow the user to join the network. This is the key feature of this solution.""The feature that I have found most valuable is its durability because we can rely on this solution. It is also easy to configure. Lastly, if something happens, we get good support from Cisco."

"The solution has been dependable and has kept up with modern technology.""This product is easy to use.""We use Omada Access Points for the network and Wi-Fi.""The most valuable feature of the solution stems from the fact that it is easy to deploy and reliable.""The solution's most valuable feature is its price.""Its sturdiness and cost-effectiveness are the most valuable features.""The pricing is reasonable.""The most valuable feature of TP-Link Auranet EAP is its high performance."

Cons
"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.""The product should include adaptive Wi-Fi to show a more accurate location.""They should include SD-WAN features to it.""Improving third-party integration is key for Juniper Mist's next release.""If you want to do more specific stuff, it's a bit limited.""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 installation is not too difficult but the solution could improve by making the configuration easier.""Even though the tool offers a cloud-based central management option, the product needs to work on improving the security part a bit since it is an area of concern.""Cisco Wireless needs to improve compatibility with Apple devices. Its deployment should also be made easier. It should also reduce the complexity around security.""One thing which we really don't like about Cisco is that it is very expensive.""It would be better if some utility lets us know the best place to install the system. Every time we install it, we have to change it, and we have to add more access points. This is a problem we have all the time. It would be better if it integrated seamlessly with products from other vendors. It'll also help if they included a device diagnostics feature in the next release.""There is room for improvement regarding HA issues and Radius integration.""Many wireless controllers' firmware have bugs in their new releases, which are not stable, especially in an environment with many wireless AP (WAP) types.""One of our customers complained about the ripple, that some of the data was incorrect. We opened a ticket and brought it to their attention that maybe some of the data was not correct. As of now, it has been two months since we opened the ticket and the issue still hasn't been resolved."

More Cisco Wireless Cons →

"The technical support could be improved.""We have some issues with stability. It is not so fast. That is the main problem.""There should be more remote support for the mobile application.""Upgrading the hardware capabilities to newer versions like Wi-Fi 6 or Wi-Fi 7 would be a helpful improvement.""Omada's ordering platform could be improved, though. Some of their distributors are a pain to work with.""It's better for smaller organizations. This would not work for enterprises. It is not very scalable.""The price of the solution is an area requiring improvement since I want the solution to be made available at a cheaper price than its current market price.""The solution takes a long time to switch to another connection, which should be improved."

Pricing and Cost Advice

  • More Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "It is an expensive solution."
  • "Expensive."
  • "As far as I know Cisco is very competitive, price-wise. Talk to your third-party vendor. It all depends on the company size - how many employees, how big the building is. If it's wireless, and you have only 50 employees but you're using a large building floor, in that case you need many access points. But if you have 50 employees using two or three rooms, then you probably don't need it and it's going to be high density, so there is a different design. So you need to talk to a subject matter expert. Talk to them and design accordingly."
  • "Cisco is more on the expensive side, as compared to Aruba, but I must say Cisco's quality is unmatched, for sure."
  • "I am not a fan of Cisco's software pricing model. Their management software is far too expensive."
  • "The pricing is high. It could be cheaper."
  • "Never pay the full GPL price."
  • "Pricing is a bit on the high side compared to its competitors but we have to consider the support and usages of the solution. Licensing is now RTU and smart licensing. We need three types of licenses. One for each of the: APs, HA, controller."
  • More Cisco Wireless Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "Its benefit is that it is cost effective."
  • "TP-Link provides solutions that are more cost-effective than other well-known brands."
  • "The price of the solution is not a lot for five people to use it."
  • "The price is affordable, and we haven't had any additional costs due to having a limited number of users."
  • "There is no need to pay for the licensing costs since my company is in South Africa. Omada Access Points can be termed as a medium-priced product."
  • "We don't have to pay for the license because the solution has no subscription cost."
  • "TP-Link is a good price. They have a good price. But technology-wise, it has to be better."
  • "On a scale of one to ten for pricing, with one being cheap and ten being expensive, I would rate Omada Access Points at a one for its cost-effectiveness."
