We performed a comparison between Aruba Instant 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."The product's initial setup phase was straightforward, considering that the tool offers a ZTP feature."
"The tool's most valuable feature is Captive Portal, which we employ for our guest network. It enables us to create a separate virtual subnet for guests, ensuring their network traffic remains isolated from our office network. Another valuable feature is its role-based access control. This functionality allows us to assign different access privileges to users based on their roles within the organization."
"The quick setup and automatic code embedded in one access point is really useful."
"Aruba Instant is easy to manage."
"The most valuable feature of this product is that it is easily deployed."
"Has many advanced features: Built-in firewall, local radius, application visibility and control, not locked into support agreements."
"We like being able to merge Aruba Instant to mobile via Bluetooth. You are also able to perform a lot of functions remotely such as creating an SSID IP."
"The deployment is easy."
"It provides private network access, helping us protect our company’s devices."
"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 artificial intelligence feature is very good."
"The solution is very secure."
"With Mist, every Wednesday they roll out new features."
"You can easily monitor, manage, and cover all your IT equipment."
"Juniper Mist offers valuable features like comprehensive network insight, granular policy control, fast device setup, strong security, and efficient SSL traffic management."
"It uses a different portal and has limitations from the customer side as it's not refined for MSP."
"Aruba Instant is a simple and scalable solution that works well, but the costs you incur from access points could be cheaper."
"The only issue we've had is getting equipment supplies. The availability of the APs that I want to use has been an issue. It took almost two months to get them the first time. I've ordered a few more for another client, and they're still on back order. It has been over a month now."
"I think that the next release should offer IP phone security/firewall."
"The product’s GUI must be improved."
"In a corporate environment or a larger network, where more advanced filtering or MAC-based filtering is needed, I don't think the IAPs would be sufficient."
"Doesn't support enough access points in one cluster."
"If you need to access the master access point the integration between the two becomes quite expensive."
"Juniper Wireless Access Points (AP Series) could improve if the MIST platform had a built-in master key. This would be an advantage."
"The price could be better."
"The product should include adaptive Wi-Fi to show a more accurate location."
"Enrolling into the tool is a tedious process."
"They should include SD-WAN features to it."
"If you want to do more specific stuff, it's a bit limited."
"I need a bit more time with it before criticizing the features."
"There is room for improvement in terms of support and installation."
