Cons
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."

More Juniper Mist Premium Analytics Cons →

"It would be helpful to have more details about the monitoring of the infrastructure. It should have support for SNMP. This is something that is currently not there in the product.""The licensing price could be better.""If there was better visualization in Flowmon Solution it would be good."

More Flowmon Cons →

"It's a very complex system. Customers have told me that sometimes there are lots of advanced features that are available and that you can change in the dashboard, but sometimes it's very hard to know what they are.""There needs to be more improvement on the device-connected interface.""If I am a user and I have a seat on the fourth floor, if I move across the building, the system should be able to track me and should be able to figure out my whereabouts or my position within the building if I'm connected to the wireless. That would make the administrator's life easier in terms of reachability.""I think this product could be improved with a CLI for more directives.""What needs improvement in Meraki Dashboard is its configuration. It'll also be better if the tool has more functionality, and that is what I'd like to see in its next release.""Meraki Dashboard could improve the user interface by making it more user-friendly. The configuring can at times be difficult.""Price could be reduced.""The tool needs to incorporate more integration platforms. Integrating technical support features directly into the dashboard would be highly beneficial. This would allow technicians to troubleshoot issues more efficiently."
