Pros
"The solution is stable.""The simplicity is great.""You can easily monitor, manage, and cover all your IT equipment.""It provides private network access, helping us protect our company’s devices.""The solution is pretty generic and easy to use.""The most valuable feature of Juniper Mist is the Virtual Network Assistant, powered by artificial intelligence.""The most valuable feature of the solution is Marvis, the AI-driven network management system.""In terms of reporting, in terms of all the user reports, it's very rich."

"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.""Cambium Networks Wireless LAN is easy to deploy. The implementation can take two weeks to four months.""This solution is extremely user-friendly; it is very easy to configure and work with.""The cloud-based management provided by Cambium Networks is particularly valuable to us, as it allows us to efficiently manage Wi-Fi, point-to-point connections, firewalls, and switches across various locations from a centralized platform. This enables us to be proactive in providing support and ensures smooth operations for our clients.""The web-based administration is what I find most beneficial.""We can scale it if we need to.""The most valuable features of the solution are its range and stability.""It is a stable and secure platform."

"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.""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 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.""Our company sometimes uses the solution's technical support, and we have seen that they sort out our general problems quickly.""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.""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..."

Cons
"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.""Juniper Wireless Access Points (AP Series) could improve if the MIST platform had a built-in master key. This would be an advantage.""The solution is expensive.""The pricing should be made cheaper.""If you want to do more specific stuff, it's a bit limited.""They should include SD-WAN features to it."

More Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points Cons →

"The solution’s technical support could be faster.""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.""Cambium Networks Wireless LAN should improve its pricing.""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.""The product pricing needs improvement.""The solution should be scalable, offering better pricing options as we optimize the network for coverage, capacity, and quality""The platform's cost needs improvement.""If they could include some sort of web filtering, in-built antivirus, anti-malware, and data stream scanning in the next release."

More Cambium Networks Wireless LAN Cons →

"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.""Due to certain shortcomings in the solution's stability, I feel that the solution's stability requires improvement.""A con is the backend system which is very, very slow.""I have some frustrations with the ease of use. It tends to be sluggish. The graphical interface is pretty, but not useful. They have this tree that shows connected devices, which makes no sense whatsoever because the labeling field of the tree truncates all the items to the point that it's almost useless. You can't even tell what it is. I would prefer a spreadsheet list of the gear as opposed to a graphical representation.""The product's UI needs to be simplified and made more straightforward.""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.""Ubiquiti is a very good company. NETGEAR should look at that model and expand on its remote capabilities. Ubiquiti seems to have a better product.""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."
