Pros
"We can manage the entire system across the network and troubleshoot the pain points."

More Juniper Mist Premium Analytics Pros →

"The product is simple to use.""Its ability to monitor failures and to restart a Windows service when it fails.""User session details""The topology view which provides a visual representation of a service and quickly allows identification of errors or degraded performance.""Enormous capability to monitor Citrix environments.""What I like about eG Enterprise is that it's easy to use. It's a simple product. You can get up to seventy-five to eighty percent of the required information based on real user experience and diagnostics.""The auto-configuration or auto-Thresholding is very important because it saves a phenomenal amount of labor and setup costs and time.""The ability to see what the end user response is, so I can get a better understanding of what the end user is seeing when they connect to the Citrix servers."

More eG Enterprise Pros →

"It's a simple, functional solution.""It's really user-friendly.""The most valuable features are that it's easy to use and technically very complete. I can configure, do advanced troubleshooting in the dashboard, and reboot access points remotely.""We've been spending a lot less time on tickets and deployments, so we have more time to do other things.""The initial setup was easy.""The most valuable feature of Meraki Dashboard is we can manage our switches and access point in one place.""Great visibility on the dashboard.""The most valuable feature is the single pane of glass that gives you multisite visibility."

Cons
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."

More Juniper Mist Premium Analytics Cons →

"The solution should improve on the security side and include some more API integrations into wider application platforms.""Application TCP latency is an area with room for improvement, but I believe this is already on the roadmap.""The solution needs to enhance the management dashboards.""The integration must be improved.""In terms of areas for improvement in eG Enterprise, we are now moving most of our services to the OpenShift platform, and we need a way to monitor even containerized services or any service deployed on OpenShift, but that feature is still not available in eG Enterprise, so it's not good enough for us.""The interface could be improved as it is not real intuitive. It is not user-friendly.""I can understand why they designed the user interface (UI) the way they did, but sometimes in the management of the eG Manager, it can be a bit clunky.""Dashboards are difficult to create, and not so useful."

More eG Enterprise Cons →

"The tool is useful for managing devices and monitoring their current state, but it falls short in troubleshooting network issues, particularly with access points. It does not provide a complete understanding of the root causes of the issues. As a result, network engineers have had to use additional tools to complement it and conduct assessments. The only way to improve the tool would be to enhance its capability to identify and resolve network issues effectively.""I would like to see an alert event feature to monitor what users are downloading and how to block some applications.""Meraki Dashboard could improve integration with non-Cisco platforms.""It would be helpful to have the ability to create a floor plan based on an existing PDF or JPEG, which is automatically converted into a usable network map.""Lacks an alert notification when there are IP or DNS issues.""I am concerned about the fact that once your licensing expires the devices stop working and become a brick.""More integration would be an improvement.""The coverage has been an issue for us."
