"It provides private network access, helping us protect our company’s devices."
"Juniper Mist offers valuable features like comprehensive network insight, granular policy control, fast device setup, strong security, and efficient SSL traffic management."
"The simplicity is great."
"Overall, we've been very pleased with the performance."
"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 solution is very secure."
"The artificial intelligence feature is very good."
"The solution is pretty generic and easy to use."
"What I liked about these is that they worked. I didn't touch them or do anything with them. They were up and running when I came here. Once they are set up and running, you don't have to worry about them."
"I can control any number of sites globally with a lean IT team."
"The ability to manage it remotely is the most valuable. If it has an internet connection, you can get to it. It is a great product for remote clinics. We kind of thought about doing this kind of standalone technology. Meraki is easy to manage. From a management perspective, it is the easiest to use, especially in the cloud. I like Meraki. I even have it in my home."
"I have found the scalability to be very good."
"The solution is stable and reliable."
"The monitoring device enables you to see the network health."
"The automatic VMware update is very useful because you don't have to worry about outages and planning for VMware updates. It is very advantageous from a management point of view. The ability to restrict and review the clients connected to each of our segments. Additionally, the solution is easy to use."
"It is cloud-based. You can manage it remotely from anywhere in the world, and you don't have to be on-site, which is a very big advantage."
"The product is simple to use in terms of GUI and dashboard."
"The product’s most valuable feature is the workflow-driven setup for the infrastructure component."
"The initial setup was very straightforward."
"The solution is not complex to deploy."
"Firstly, I initially purchased the device to build a VPN, and one very valuable feature for me was the ability to create a layer two VPN, which was available on the legacy ER router. It allowed me to expand a subnet to a remote site, which was essential for my setup. Additionally, I appreciated that the CLI of the router was similar to other Juniper products that I was familiar with."
"The management features are valuable."
"The tool's deployment is very easy. The deployment of 15 access points can take a day."
"The ease of use and simplicity of the solution is its most valuable feature. This tool is best suited for small environments."
"Enrolling into the tool is a tedious process."
"They should include SD-WAN features to it."
"The pricing should be made cheaper."
"Juniper Wireless Access Points (AP Series) could improve if the MIST platform had a built-in master key. This would be an advantage."
"It would be helpful to have even stronger security features to help protect against interference from other nearby access points that aren't part of our network."
"The solution is expensive."
"The pricing is very high in the Indian market."
"There is room for improvement in terms of support and installation."
"If there are advanced features that you can have enabled, they should allow users access to that in an easier manner."
"Currently, with Meraki, a controller is required to direct guest and user traffic to the internet. Improvement is needed in the portal for enhanced visibility into activities. Additionally, addressing multiple bugs, especially those arising with new releases, is crucial to ensure system stability."
"The initial setup of the solution can be improved and made easier."
"When we are using SSID roaming, it is not flexible in terms of which AP it connects to."
"We would like the solution to work on the pricing of the solution. It would be ideal if it could bring the overall costs down."
"The annual maintenance is something that needs to be changed."
"In a future release, they should offer a next-generation UTM, where you can manage all items and the network, and have it include a lot of security features like fingerprinting functionality."
"Technical support can be improved, as well as having more detailed capabilities to go without using an API."
"The solution needs to improve robustness, security, and stability."
"The product needs to improve the user interface in the migration from old to new versions."
"The product's area of concern revolves around its lack of support."
"Its scalability, UI, and security features could be better."
"The downside is the interface changes, where they are constantly doing firmware updates."
"They could enhance their products by integrating cloud access into each device."
"I have never used cloud solutions. My first approach would be something related to the cloud, and backups on the cloud, and maybe an easier way to connect to it because I have an on-premises environment."
"The product must provide better warranties."
