We performed a comparison between Cisco Wireless and Mist AI and Cloud based on our users’ reviews in five categories. After reading all of the collected data, you can find our conclusion below.
Comparison Results: Due to Mist AI’s power consumption issue, Cisco Wireless is the clear winner in this comparison. According to reviews, it is a more mature and robust solution.
"You can easily monitor, manage, and cover all your IT equipment."
"The artificial intelligence feature is very good."
"The most valuable feature of Juniper Mist is the Virtual Network Assistant, powered by artificial intelligence."
"The most useful feature of Juniper Wireless AP is the reporting Marvis."
"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 most valuable feature of the solution is Marvis, the AI-driven network management system."
"The solution is stable."
"The AI capabilities of Mist Wireless are superior to other OEMs."
"Security is an important feature for my customers, and I am able to offer this to them with our Cisco products."
"It helps with the visibility on our network."
"The initial setup is easy. It's fairly quick to deploy."
"Setting up Cisco Wireless is pretty straightforward. It takes about an hour or two, and we can handle it in-house. To deploy one project, it takes two to three for a single controller."
"Cisco Wireless solutions are easy to use."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is its security"
"It is a stable solution."
"The tool is mainly improving our productivity."
"The triangulation feature can be used to determine where a person is in relation to the access point."
"There are several valuable features. One of them is Cibas, and another one is Marvis."
"Mist AI and Cloud have definitely improved the functioning of our organization. The access to the Internet, including its speed and reliability, has significantly improved."
"The most useful aspect of Mist AI and Cloud is automation capabilities."
"Natural language patching is an important feature."
"I have a very good experience with the solution. Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"It's really easy to provision and support. Those are its main features."
"Ability to control the access points by groups."
"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 price could be better."
"There is room for improvement in terms of support and installation."
"The pricing is very high in the Indian market."
"The product should include adaptive Wi-Fi to show a more accurate location."
"The pricing should be made cheaper."
"Improvement is needed in the user-friendliness of Juniper Mist, particularly in enhancing the interaction with AI 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 security must be improved."
"Improvement needed in RRM, ATF, Ortho-Polarization, AP concurrent client processing."
"Before deploying a wireless solution, you have to read and plan every role, every windows system, put in your access point, and then make the audit. This solution is not the best one to do this. We use another solution that is called Eko. In the future, if this solution could have better auditing capabilities it would be better."
"The solution could be cheaper and have a better web interface."
"Probably more in terms of how much power it's using. Right now it just seems like it doesn't have enough power. Maybe that is all indicated, but says exactly how much power it's using."
"The biggest reason why we could no longer continue with Cisco Wireless was because of the high cost to upgrade everything. It was disappointing that Cisco treated us as just another big company, and did not offer any leeway on their pricing given that we are an educational institute. And although the system we had in place from Cisco Wireless was good enough over the last ten years, it started to show its age when pushed to its limit during the pandemic."
"The main problem that traditional solutions like this one have is that you need to buy packages to deliver a similar solution as a Meraki one."
"Controllers could be improved."
"The solution lacks documentation."
"There are some technical issues that may require attention"
"Currently, the solution lacks the ability to configure with other solutions from other vendors."
"Sometimes it takes a lot of time for the access point to connect with the cloud."
"There seems to be different versions of standards used in the wireless access points. In the future, it would be helpful if the solution could come up with some kind of universal standard for all devices and all access points."
"The user experience should be improved. It's not user-friendly."
"Mist AI and Cloud should improve its integrations."
"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."
