We performed a comparison between Mist AI and Cloud and Ruckus Wireless based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."Juniper Mist offers valuable features like comprehensive network insight, granular policy control, fast device setup, strong security, and efficient SSL traffic management."
"With Mist, every Wednesday they roll out new features."
"The artificial intelligence feature is very good."
"It provides private network access, helping us protect our company’s devices."
"The simplicity is great."
"In terms of reporting, in terms of all the user reports, it's very rich."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is Marvis, the AI-driven network management system."
"The most valuable feature of Juniper Mist is the Virtual Network Assistant, powered by artificial intelligence."
"The Marvis feature of Mist AI, an artificial intelligence tool, is very useful."
"Has an extremely good feature set."
"The most valuable aspect is that they operate on small microservices, offering numerous open APIs that enhance the value of our Wi-Fi network. This flexibility allows us to optimize various aspects such as workforce planning and occupancy management. The platform is highly open in the market, providing robust APIs for seamless integration with other tools. Currently, we leverage these capabilities at a building site, incorporating IoT sensors to gather data. The collected data is stored in a centralized location, and we plan to use AI for analysis. This analysis will include insights on peak activity times, humidity levels, temperature variations, and other relevant metrics within the building."
"Natural language patching is an important feature."
"If you compare wired versus wireless, it's convenient. You don't need to have one place for connectivity. You can move around and it's easier. Sometimes it's a hassle to work with wires, which is why wireless is so convenient."
"AI-driven automation helps implement the solution quickly."
"The AI deployment process involves adding access points and placing them in the designated area. The AI system automatically adjusts channel selection and transmission power without any issues with stability or throughput. It has improved network performance."
"The triangulation feature can be used to determine where a person is in relation to the access point."
"Provides us with the features we need: walled garden, client isolation, 802.1x with dynamic VLAN, guest passes, etc."
"Easy to configure and user-friendly."
"I can manage the network through a cell phone, which is a plus from my side. I am also able to visualize the network. I can also check the quality of the signal for different clients that are currently connected and see whether the quality is excellent, moderate, or poor. Sometimes, I can even adjust the signal strength."
"Ruckus has allowed us to deploy better Wi-Fi coverage in the past few years."
"The initial setup is very simple."
"The solution is very stable. I've worked with it at a hospital before, where we deployed it all over the hospital. It worked everywhere and continuously worked flawlessly."
"In my experience, Ruckus devices are much more reliable than other vendors when it comes to consistency, coverage, and client density. Ruckus is very simple to configure and troubleshoot."
"The setup is very straightforward."
"Improving third-party integration is key for Juniper Mist's next release."
"Enrolling into the tool is a tedious process."
"The pricing should be made cheaper."
"Juniper Wireless AP can improve by continually improving its reporting and integration with other systems."
"The product should include adaptive Wi-Fi to show a more accurate location."
"I need a bit more time with it before criticizing the features."
"The pricing is very high in the Indian market."
"They should include SD-WAN features to it."
"The inter-functionality with other vendors was a negative for us."
"The solution doesn't provide mail notifications currently."
"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 has various licensing policies. It will be easy to use if it is an open single license."
"It would be beneficial to have support for the Chinese language."
"There are some technical issues that may require attention"
"Currently, the solution lacks the ability to configure with other solutions from other vendors."
"The solution lacks documentation."
"Ruckus products, overall, have a wide range of useful features, however not all customers have the budget to buy a corporate Wi-Fi solution. Most of the time, it's far too expensive for our clients to consider going with Ruckus, and they might like to see cheaper solutions in the Ruckus range."
"From my point of view, portal features are something missing in Ruckus Wireless. I want to see Ruckus Wireless integrate a Wi-Fi portal into its product. This would allow for easier user authentication for vendors."
"The initial setup was not simple. We were installing indoor and outdoor wireless and this is why it took us three months."
"The cost could be improved."
"They need to be able to allow us to keep some of the older products on our cloud controllers or any of their controllers longer and just start supporting the new controllers. They force you into an upgrade unnecessarily."
"Ruckus should have an option to migrate existing licenses from an old controller to a new purchase; presently, this is not possible."
"The biggest adjustment improvement will come from a price adjustment because the price is quite high; it feels like premium pricing. I suggest shaving off 10 percent to 20 percent. That would help grow users and increase the number of clients."
"In the last year, there's been a significant price jump, but I think Ruckus Wireless is still a good value for the money."
