Pros
"We can manage the entire system across the network and troubleshoot the pain points."

More Juniper Mist Premium Analytics Pros →

"The most valuable feature is the single pane of glass that gives you multisite visibility.""The most valuable features are the ease of use and a single-pane-of-glass that allows us to identify issues across the entire network from one dashboard.""Some of the features I have found valuable are the ease of access, simple configuration, and monitoring.""You don't have to be a network engineer to use it.""It is a reliable product. It provides a lot of information that is easy to read.""The most valuable feature is its simplicity in navigating through the dashboard. It's well set out, and the layout is nice and user friendly. A lot of clients enjoy seeing layer 7 visibility. They get a good indication and insight into what is happening in their network and what applications are being used the most. They can then customize and give preference to business-critical applications.""We greatly utilize the network because we can plug it into the DNS, VPN, or equipment. It's very good. Meraki Dashboard enhances wireless network management. We appreciate its flexibility, as it allows for easy suite configuration. We can handle everything on there when there's a policy or any other requirement.""There are some whitelist blacklist capabilities in the MX dashboard, which is very helpful."

More Meraki Dashboard Pros →

"AI is the most valuable feature.""The Marvis feature of Mist AI, an artificial intelligence tool, is very useful.""The most useful aspect of Mist AI and Cloud is automation capabilities.""I have a very good experience with the solution. Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten.""Mist AI and Cloud have definitely improved the functioning of our organization.

Cons
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."

More Juniper Mist Premium Analytics Cons →

"I think this product could be improved with a CLI for more directives.""An area for improvement in Meraki Dashboard is licensing management because it's a little complex. Product licensing can be made a little bit easier through license concurrency and a more straightforward approach to applying the license to products and services.""Some features could be added.""Meraki Dashboard could improve integration with non-Cisco platforms.""One area that could use improvement in the Meraki Dashboard is user-friendliness when navigating to port configurations.""There is a bit of a problem when you try to log in and you don't have a fixed IP address. If you're granting access, you need to log in by using the IP address. If your administrator's IP address is not a fixed IP address and it has changed, you might need to update the changed IP address in the interface. For this, you need to log in to the interface to update the IP address. This issue might not have so much to do with Meraki interface.""The cost of the solution is high and can be improved.""I am concerned about the fact that once your licensing expires the devices stop working and become a brick."

More Meraki Dashboard Cons →

"The user experience should be improved. It's not user-friendly.""The inter-functionality with other vendors was a negative for us.""In future releases, they need to add some router models. Because currently, it supports only SSR and WAN routers. But adding other routers would be good.""The solution doesn't provide mail notifications currently.""There are some technical issues that may require attention""Juniper should integrate all their dashboards instead of having separate dashboards...Since it lacks the integration of dashboards, Juniper needs to improve it.""Sometimes it takes a lot of time for the access point to connect with the cloud.""There is no local support for Mist in Brazil."
