"It uses a different portal and has limitations from the customer side as it's not refined for MSP."
"They could offer a new model for access points that are outdoors."
"There is an issue with flooding to the Aruba access point on the ports."
"There is a problem in the preferred portal access points when I'm using the portal."
"I think that the next release should offer IP phone security/firewall."
"It is good as it is. If anything, its reporting could be improved."
"The tool's support quality has changed since HPE acquired it. It is also impossible to tell the log dates."
"There are some technical issues that may require attention"
"The user experience should be improved. It's not user-friendly."
"Regarding opportunities for improvement in Mist, it is notable for its robust cloud portal and integration of artificial intelligence into various services, creating a highly efficient environment for work. However, a drawback lies in the cost associated with its WiFi offerings. With a pricing range of twelve hundred to fifteen hundred dollars for a single Access Point, exclusive of the subscription, it is acknowledged as a relatively expensive solution in the realm of WiFi services. Despite this drawback, the positive attributes of Mist make it a noteworthy option."
