"It provides private network access, helping us protect our company’s devices."
"With Mist, every Wednesday they roll out new features."
"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."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is Marvis, the AI-driven network management system."
"You can easily monitor, manage, and cover all your IT equipment."
"The solution is pretty generic and easy to use."
"Regarding features, the solution seems to be very intuitive."

"Mist AI and Cloud have definitely improved the functioning of our organization. The access to the Internet, including its speed and reliability, has significantly improved."
"The most valuable aspect is that they operate on small microservices, offering numerous open APIs that enhance the value of our Wi-Fi network. This flexibility allows us to optimize various aspects such as workforce planning and occupancy management. The platform is highly open in the market, providing robust APIs for seamless integration with other tools. Currently, we leverage these capabilities at a building site, incorporating IoT sensors to gather data. The collected data is stored in a centralized location, and we plan to use AI for analysis. This analysis will include insights on peak activity times, humidity levels, temperature variations, and other relevant metrics within the building."
"It's really easy to provision and support. Those are its main features."
"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."
"It covers everything from end to end, from the standpoint of endpoint machines and the routers and switches. The switch port also comes there."
"This solution offers a very good view of our network and allows us to effectively monitor performance."
"We have configured multiple alerts for our network devices, including routers and switches, so that we are notified if any interface goes down."
"What I've found most valuable about the solution is that it's scalable."
"The most valuable features are language support and technical support."
"It's a very good tool and a very stable tool."
"With just three modules, I can monitor server performance (whether it’s a VM, in the cloud, or an on-premises server."
"It is scalable."
"The solution is 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 product should include adaptive Wi-Fi to show a more accurate location."
"There is room for improvement in terms of support and installation."
"Improvement is needed in the user-friendliness of Juniper Mist, particularly in enhancing the interaction with AI features."
"If you want to do more specific stuff, it's a bit limited."
"The pricing should be made cheaper."
"Enrolling into the tool is a tedious process."
"Mist AI and Cloud need to improve the configuration speed."
"It would be beneficial to have support for the Chinese language."
"There could be more integration."
"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."
"There are some technical issues that may require attention"
"The solution lacks documentation."
"The inter-functionality with other vendors was a negative for us."
"The solution has various licensing policies. It will be easy to use if it is an open single license."
"The solution is not always good with new features, so it's take a long time."
"The reporting module that got integrated into the system itself, used to be a standalone solution and I preferred that."
"I would like to see some enhancement on the reporting side, such as making it a little bit easier to create reports or having a larger assortment of canned reports."
"Being able to detect devices that are trying to connect wirelessly would make using this solution much easier."
"The reporting is good, but I want it to be a little easier when creating custom reports. The reports are all on the website now, but it takes some know how to get some to display the way you would like."
"There needs to be more integration of widgets, especially for reporting purposes."
"It would be nice to have a test to check if you can access a particular device via API without installing it and waiting for a poll cycle. You should have the capacity to initiate a test to see if it was reachable and get the results almost immediately."
"We'd like to see a bit more automation in the future."
