"We use NETGEAR's Insight management solution to do off-property controls. It is user-friendly and provides network management, monitoring, and service deployment across multiple remote and local sites. That means I don't have to be physically at a location to do things if I want to make any changes to the network. It saves time and money."
"The initial setup of NETGEAR Insight Access Points was straightforward."
"[Being] able to configure the WiFi devices and to see utilization remotely, or from the cloud."
"The meshing capabilities are the most valuable feature. When I am going in-between buildings, my phone doesn't have to pick up different WiFi. They are all the same. Even in-between the buildings, I stay connected."
"I now have the ability to remote access my network. That works extremely well. I can access it from any place. I don't need to be physically at the device. This saves me on time and travel."
"The metrics demonstrate that NETGEAR really does a good job of balancing the load between the various access points on the networks and this results in an elimination of downtime."
"I'm able to do a lot of things, because the GUI is designed very well. I'm able to remotely make certain changes via my phone and apply them right away. It makes life easier when it comes to managing the equipment. The Insight management solution phone app is very good. It enables me to do what I want to do."
"From the WiFi aspect, it's very intuitive and easy to use. The solution enables me to manage my entire WiFi from anywhere in the world..."
"The price could be better."
"The product should include adaptive Wi-Fi to show a more accurate location."
"Improving third-party integration is key for Juniper Mist's next release."
"Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points’ support services need improvement."
"The pricing is very high in the Indian market."
"They should include SD-WAN features to it."
"If you want to do more specific stuff, it's a bit limited."
"The pricing should be made cheaper."
"I would like to be able to customize Captive Portals."
"A lot of the access point commands are in the command line interface, versus being in the GUI."
"The bad things about the product are the price, the information about the product, and the time it takes to deliver the product."
"The Return Material Authorization procedure is time-consuming and needs improvement."
"Configuration could be made easier with more bandwidth than they offer at the moment."
"For a more senior tool, a local application monitoring related to IoT vendors would be useful."
"I would like to see a faster web interface in the controller and more troubleshooting tools, including real-time troubleshooting tools."
"Making the setup more simple is an area for improvement in Aruba Wireless. Security-wise, this solution also needs work."
"A con is the backend system which is very, very slow."
"There is always room for improvement."
"My major problem is right now, the area which I need to cover is around 7,000 to 10,000 square feet...I would like NETGEAR Insight Access Points to extend the area coverage they provide."
"While the data throughput does provide us with full insight into data being used, we find that it's not very accurate."
"The biggest issue I've had is that it works very well with the WiFi, but it does not offer any assistance at all with the routers. You can't control them or manage them at all. As soon as you want to use anything on the network side—because I have multiple 28-port switches—you can't manage them using this app."
"The product's UI needs to be simplified and made more straightforward."
"Software-wise, they need to provide the ability to kick users out. If multiple users are abusing the system or the network, I should be able to block them for a time and, when I need to unblock them, I should be able to do so by using their MAC ID. That feature might already be there and I just don't know about it."
"Due to certain shortcomings in the solution's stability, I feel that the solution's stability requires improvement."
