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."With Mist, every Wednesday they roll out new features."
"The artificial intelligence feature is very good."
"The solution is pretty generic and easy to use."
"Juniper Mist offers valuable features like comprehensive network insight, granular policy control, fast device setup, strong security, and efficient SSL traffic management."
"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."
"You can easily monitor, manage, and cover all your IT equipment."
"The solution is very secure."
"The product is user-friendly and helps with cost minimization."
"It provides good support remotely, and it's very easy to configure."
"It offers features that are essential for an efficient and high-performance wireless LAN deployment, where capacity, coverage, and quality are optimized, and frequency bands are selected based on the specific needs of the network."
"This solution is extremely user-friendly; it is very easy to configure and work with."
"The product has valuable throughput capabilities. It also has an inbuilt spectrum analyzer for stable connectivity."
"What I like best about Cambium Networks Wireless LAN is that it's easy to configure, has no licensing hassle, and is a controller-based solution."
"They all have controllers built in, and we manage them all with a web-based management tool."
"It is a stable and secure platform."
"It's easy to manage and provides a clear network view, allowing efficient navigation down to the network details."
"It makes the process much easier by providing visibility and centralized control over the network."
"It is easy to set up. You can do everything on the GUI. You don't need to trace cables. You don't need to connect to the switch. Everything is there, right in front of you."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of deployment."
"The product is super stable. I would rate the stability a ten."
"Cisco Meraki Wireless LAN is a user-friendly solution that has good performance and stability."
"The cloud manageability feature is valuable."
"The solution is very easy to use."
"I need a bit more time with it before criticizing the features."
"Juniper Wireless AP can improve by continually improving its reporting and integration with other systems."
"Improving third-party integration is key for Juniper Mist's next release."
"Juniper Wireless Access Points (AP Series) could improve if the MIST platform had a built-in master key. This would be an advantage."
"The pricing should be made cheaper."
"The product should include adaptive Wi-Fi to show a more accurate location."
"The price could be better."
"Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points’ support services need improvement."
"We would like this product to have more information data sheets available. At present we cannot easily access details around the full capability of a piece of equipment."
"There is room for improvement in the pricing model."
"The platform's cost needs improvement."
"Not a lot of technical engineers are familiar with Cambium Networks Wireless LAN. They are familiar with implementing and using other solutions such as Aruba. Therefore, Cambium Networks needs to be more visible in the marketplace."
"The solution should be scalable, offering better pricing options as we optimize the network for coverage, capacity, and quality"
"Cambium Networks Wireless LAN should improve its pricing."
"The problem with this radio wireless technology is that it cannot compete in terms of bandwidth with the fiber optics at this moment. That's the biggest weakness."
"Our areas for improvement would be a refresh with the most recent technology available."
"Cisco Meraki Wireless LAN could improve by having more granularity in terms of the data displayed. However, I understand that with Cisco Meraki Wireless LAN, you need to have a compromise point to what are the functions that you're going to provide to the users versus ease of use. More granularity in terms of the data and the things that you can do to the devices would be helpful. For example, when we wanted to make a change, restriction, or segregation within Palo Alto, we can go to the level of detail that we want. The amount of detail provided is amazing, it is very granular. However, it comes with much more difficulty, it requires a technical understanding of the environment compared to Cisco Meraki Wireless LAN."
"Technical support can be improved, as well as having more detailed capabilities to go without using an API."
"The licensing model is a terrible idea."
"The integration options with third-party applications need enhancement."
"They could also add some more controls for guest access. For example, when you have a captive portal, it would be nice to limit the amount of time users can stay connected per day. Right now, you can only configure the splash frequency. And you can set the connection for one hour, but you have to use the billing feature."
"The wireless infrastructure scalability has room for improvement."
"When it comes to switching, Meraki lacks categories of features."
"It's performing well, really well. We don't have any issues. We only have issues if there is a lot of rogue APs in the neighborhood and that not Meraki's fault."
