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."
"It provides private network access, helping us protect our company’s devices."
"With Mist, every Wednesday they roll out new features."
"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 solution is pretty generic and easy to use."
"The AI capabilities of Mist Wireless are superior to other OEMs."
"In terms of reporting, in terms of all the user reports, it's very rich."
"We are using Cisco access point 2802, and they are very reliable."
"Cisco Wireless is highly stable."
"The support is very good. Technical support is very helpful."
"Support is fantastic. They are helpful and responsive."
"The product’s stability is great."
"Identity PSK helps save SSIDs."
"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."
"The tool's most valuable features are security, flexibility, user activity, and high bandwidth."
"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 Marvis feature of Mist AI, an artificial intelligence tool, is very useful."
"There are several valuable features. One of them is Cibas, and another one is Marvis."
"Regarding features, the solution seems to be very intuitive."
"It's really easy to provision and support. Those are its main features."
"Ability to control the access points by groups."
"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 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."
"Improving third-party integration is key for Juniper Mist's next release."
"If you want to do more specific stuff, it's a bit limited."
"Juniper Wireless Access Points (AP Series) could improve if the MIST platform had a built-in master key. This would be an advantage."
"There is room for improvement in terms of support and installation."
"I need a bit more time with it before criticizing the features."
"Juniper Wireless AP can improve by continually improving its reporting and integration with other systems."
"The solution is expensive."
"The product should include adaptive Wi-Fi to show a more accurate location."
"Installation is complex."
"There's a delay in equipment that comes to Columbia, to our country, and that lasts almost six months."
"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."
"Assurance capabilities must be improved."
"Many wireless controllers' firmware have bugs in their new releases, which are not stable, especially in an environment with many wireless AP (WAP) types."
"The price could be improved."
"If they could offer better coverage, we'd be much happier."
"The reporting of the product could be improved. When I needed to troubleshoot, I couldn't get sufficient information from the controller."
"Currently, the solution lacks the ability to configure with other solutions from other vendors."
"The solution has various licensing policies. It will be easy to use if it is an open single license."
"The user experience should be improved. It's not user-friendly."
"The solution doesn't provide mail notifications currently."
"If there's one thing I'd like to change, it's the pricing. They are quite expensive, but honestly, it's justified by the value they provide. However, for a simple Wi-Fi connectivity with basic security needs, there are alternatives in the market that offer comparable features at a more budget-friendly price."
"Mist AI and Cloud need to improve the configuration speed."
"It would be beneficial to have support for the Chinese language."
"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."
