Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The most valuable feature of Juniper Mist is the Virtual Network Assistant, powered by artificial intelligence.""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.""Overall, we've been very pleased with the performance.""Juniper Mist offers valuable features like comprehensive network insight, granular policy control, fast device setup, strong security, and efficient SSL traffic management.""The solution is very secure.""The most useful feature of Juniper Wireless AP is the reporting Marvis.""In terms of reporting, in terms of all the user reports, it's very rich."

"The initial setup of NETGEAR Insight Access Points was straightforward.""The product's deployment is straightforward.""Our company sometimes uses the solution's technical support, and we have seen that they sort out our general problems quickly.""I am all about simplicity. With the Insight management solution, I don’t need an additional cloud controller, appliance, network manager, or PC/server to configure and manage my access points. You have to look at cost, and everything has a cost. There is a cost to using Insight. But if the cost is reasonable, I don't want another layer. The ability to deploy a network and then have that software built-in, without having to go to a third-party, is big. Also, the less pieces that I have to call in on, the better. So, when I'm calling NETGEAR, it's not like I'm using some third-party piece of software to manage their product. It doesn't add that layer of complexity, which is key.""From the WiFi aspect, it's very intuitive and easy to use. The solution enables me to manage my entire WiFi from anywhere in the world...""We use NETGEAR's Insight management solution to do off-property controls. It is user-friendly and provides network management, monitoring, and service deployment across multiple remote and local sites. That means I don't have to be physically at a location to do things if I want to make any changes to the network. It saves time and money.""I'm able to do a lot of things, because the GUI is designed very well. I'm able to remotely make certain changes via my phone and apply them right away. It makes life easier when it comes to managing the equipment. The Insight management solution phone app is very good. It enables me to do what I want to do.""I now have the ability to remote access my network. That works extremely well. I can access it from any place. I don't need to be physically at the device. This saves me on time and travel."

"When this solution is set up, it is solid. It offers fast deployment.""Its sturdiness and cost-effectiveness are the most valuable features.""The most valuable feature of TP-Link Auranet EAP is its high performance.""We use Omada Access Points for the network and Wi-Fi.""Omada Access Points are very good in terms of wired technologies and wired connectivity.""The performance and availability of Omada Access Points have met our business needs, particularly in improving network control and facilitating direct access for developers to branch services.""The initial setup is not complicated.""We don't have any issues 90 percent of the time. It works fine in most situations. It has been a success story for delivering WiFi services in Romania. Our customers are happy, and I've been satisfied with Omada's performance as an engineer."

Cons
"Juniper Wireless Access Points (AP Series) could improve if the MIST platform had a built-in master key. This would be an advantage.""Improving third-party integration is key for Juniper Mist's next release.""Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points’ support services need improvement.""The pricing is very high in the Indian market.""I need a bit more time with it before criticizing the features.""If you want to do more specific stuff, it's a bit limited.""The price could be better.""Juniper Wireless AP can improve by continually improving its reporting and integration with other systems."

More Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points Cons →

"My major problem is right now, the area which I need to cover is around 7,000 to 10,000 square feet...I would like NETGEAR Insight Access Points to extend the area coverage they provide.""The biggest issue I've had is that it works very well with the WiFi, but it does not offer any assistance at all with the routers. You can't control them or manage them at all. As soon as you want to use anything on the network side—because I have multiple 28-port switches—you can't manage them using this app.""A con is the backend system which is very, very slow.""The product's UI needs to be simplified and made more straightforward.""Software-wise, they need to provide the ability to kick users out. If multiple users are abusing the system or the network, I should be able to block them for a time and, when I need to unblock them, I should be able to do so by using their MAC ID. That feature might already be there and I just don't know about it.""While the data throughput does provide us with full insight into data being used, we find that it's not very accurate.""There is always room for improvement.""The registration is annoying. I have to go back to NETGEAR and log tickets. Access points and router registration are something that they need to address in Insight. They need to fix the bug of getting the devices activated and enrolled in Insight without fighting with them. I have probably done about six of these in the last month. You get to see patterns."

More NETGEAR Insight Access Points Cons →

"Omada could add some API integrations that would help with our automated solution. We're trying to integrate, and we're having some issues because some of the calls are not there. The API still needs some development.""The technical support could be improved.""TP-Link Auranet EAP is not very efficient, they need to improve it.""It is less affordable for smaller businesses.""Omada's ordering platform could be improved, though. Some of their distributors are a pain to work with.""We have some issues with stability. It is not so fast. That is the main problem.""It's better for smaller organizations. This would not work for enterprises. It is not very scalable.""The solution takes a long time to switch to another connection, which should be improved."
