We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The solution is very secure.""In terms of reporting, in terms of all the user reports, it's very rich.""Overall, we've been very pleased with the performance.""The solution is stable.""The AI capabilities of Mist Wireless are superior to other OEMs.""The most useful feature of Juniper Wireless AP is the reporting Marvis.""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.""You can easily monitor, manage, and cover all your IT equipment."

"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...""The internet connectivity is good.""Our company sometimes uses the solution's technical support, and we have seen that they sort out our general problems quickly.""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 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.""The metrics demonstrate that NETGEAR really does a good job of balancing the load between the various access points on the networks and this results in an elimination of downtime.""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.""[Being] able to configure the WiFi devices and to see utilization remotely, or from the cloud."

More NETGEAR Insight Access Points Pros →

"Its sturdiness and cost-effectiveness are the most valuable features.""Omada Access Points are very good in terms of wired technologies and wired connectivity.""This product is easy to use.""The pricing is reasonable.""When this solution is set up, it is solid. It offers fast deployment.""The initial setup is not complicated.""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 solution's most valuable feature is its price."

Cons
"Enrolling into the tool is a tedious process.""Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points’ support services need improvement.""The product should include adaptive Wi-Fi to show a more accurate location.""They should include SD-WAN features to it.""There is room for improvement in terms of support and installation.""The pricing should be made cheaper.""If you want to do more specific stuff, it's a bit limited.""The price could be better."

More Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points Cons →

"A con is the backend system which is very, very slow.""Due to certain shortcomings in the solution's stability, I feel that the solution's stability requires improvement.""There is always room for improvement.""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 product's UI needs to be simplified and made more straightforward.""While the data throughput does provide us with full insight into data being used, we find that it's not very accurate.""Ubiquiti is a very good company. NETGEAR should look at that model and expand on its remote capabilities. Ubiquiti seems to have a better product.""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 →

"Upgrading the hardware capabilities to newer versions like Wi-Fi 6 or Wi-Fi 7 would be a helpful improvement.""The technical support could be improved.""It is less affordable for smaller businesses.""Aruba has better scaling capabilities.""The solution takes a long time to switch to another connection, which should be improved.""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.""We have some issues with stability. It is not so fast. That is the main problem.""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."
