We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The solution is stable.""The most valuable feature of Juniper Mist is the Virtual Network Assistant, powered by artificial intelligence.""The simplicity is great.""The most valuable feature of the solution is Marvis, the AI-driven network management system.""The AI capabilities of Mist Wireless are superior to other OEMs.""It provides private network access, helping us protect our company’s devices.""The most useful feature of Juniper Wireless AP is the reporting Marvis.""You can easily monitor, manage, and cover all your IT equipment."

"We can deploy a tunnel-based VLAN and SSID, for something that happens at the last minute, in a matter of minutes, because of the interaction between the FortiGate, the FortiSwitches, and the FortiAPs.""The product is a stable solution.""Fortinet FortiWLM is good for tracking assets, monitoring, and overall management.""The most valuable feature of Fortinet FortiWLM is the single management pane and integrated controller inside the firewall.""The security is a valuable feature.""With Fortinet, there is a feature called Network-In-Control. It's the AP controller that decides what the clients are going to connect to... Even though your phone sees, let's say, two APs, since the wireless controller has visibility into and access across all the APs, it knows the best AP for the client to connect to. This way, the controller makes sure that none of the APs is over-crowded, and the spectrum is used properly.""I found that It's really good when comparing it to any other product or it is much better in terms of features that the customer requires.""For me, the ease of setup and the rugged nature in harsh environments are most valuable. So, durability and ease of use have been its best features."

More Fortinet FortiWLM Pros →

"The security is a valuable feature.""The features that I like the most are the visibility and the firewall, which is very good.""Initial setup was straightforward.""The solution is very stable.""Their Cognitive WiFi analytics (Mojo Aware) is the biggest feature on their dashboard. It helps us know where the problem, so we don't have to spend time with the customer diagnosing it.""Built-in guest analytics and advanced guest portal features allow our customers to create a guest experience which is typically only available with complex and expensive third-party software.""The most important feature is ease of use. We can simply take an access point and plug it in, then it is automatically configured for us.""The fact that they are autonomous and can function even without access to the management panel is the most valuable aspect of this solution."

Cons
"Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points’ support services need improvement.""The solution is expensive.""Improving third-party integration is key for Juniper Mist's next release.""There is room for improvement in terms of support and installation.""The pricing is very high in the Indian market.""Juniper Wireless AP can improve by continually improving its reporting and integration with other systems.""I need a bit more time with it before criticizing the features.""The pricing should be made cheaper."

More Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points Cons →

"Cost is something that could be improved, but you have to pay for what you get.""The guest management features need to be improved by adding automation.""Documentation could be improved.""The pricing for the solution is expensive and can be improved.""The initial setup is complex and has room for improvement.""Technical support is very poor. We are not satisfied with the technical support because there is not any direct person from Fortinet for any troubleshooting, which we expected.""Licensing is the only area that I think they are below average. They need enterprise licensing, an all-encompassing license to cover all products for a company.""In the next release, they could improve by adding a controller-less server, or architecture that is provided in other solutions, such as Aruba. This would be a great benefit for customers."

More Fortinet FortiWLM Cons →

"The renewal costs that come with it are very expensive.""Compared to other OEMs, Mojo Networks or Arista faces a little bit of coverage issues. So, if we put the same dBm, the power of the other OEMs indicates much more extensive coverage compared to Mojo or Arista.""The solution is a bit pricier than Cisco.""The implementation could be simplified. Right now it's a bit complex.""My only complaint about this product is its availability. Not many people can stock it and ordering from overseas is a challenge.""Needs greater simplicity in the management portal. Currently, the Mojo portal presents different “apps” to configure the devices, create splash pages, configure security settings, and monitor the network. This can be confusing, although Mojo has made great strides in combining these into “Aware”.""The user interface could use improvement, and Mojo is working on it. The features and functions are in two different places, and they are in the process of moving them into one place.""The setup was complex."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "We pay maybe 1000 SEK per year, per access point."
  • "Juniper Wireless AP's price is a little more expensive than other solutions, but you get what you pay for."
  • "The pricing is something Juniper Wireless Access Points (AP Series) can work on. The pricing is very high compared to the competition."
  • "The pricing is too high."
  • "The solution is expensive."
  • "I rate Juniper Mist's pricing a ten out of ten since it is expensive."
  • "I rate the pricing an eight out of ten."

  • "Licensing has become easier. There is no longer a per-AP license needed on the controller."
  • "If a customer already is a FortiGate customer, the cost to go to the FortiAP is incredibly affordable, because you already have the controller."
  • "For indoor access points, there is a one-time cost, upfront, whereas outdoor access points have an annual fee."
  • "Fortinet would do something with their pricing model to attract smaller business users and eliminate the mandatory service contracts."
  • "There is a perpetual license required for this solution and the price could be reduced."
  • "Support contracts typically cost approximately $100.00 per year."
  • "To save yourself from increased setup and maintenance costs, I highly recommend undertaking a proper site survey from the beginning."
  • "Licensing costs are reasonable. There are so many different types of licenses with Fortinet, but the licensing and the 24/7/365 support are so reasonable that I automatically include it with every transaction. I never line item it without it. There are no additional costs."

  • "Of every solution we looked at, every wireless solution, Mojo was a minimum of six figures cheaper. Minimum. Most of them were double, which again is unheard of. Not only do you get all the feature benefits, like everything is there, everything just works, but at the same time, it was a no-brainer, because of the cost. It's almost like you hit the lottery."
  • "Pricing includes the planning tools, management, security, analytics, and advanced guest WiFi capabilities. It's always better to buy the longest term available for the best ROI. However, device will continue to function without valid cloud license."
  • "They have been a great price competitor against some of the other big brands, like Meraki, especially for cloud-based WiFi. However, Meraki has been more expensive. They beat Meraki on features for the WiFi, which makes them a better choice even if the price is the same."
  • "There are other solutions, like Ubiquiti, that have lowered their prices, which sometimes makes the argument to go with them. However, we do not bake in the WiFi for other vendors into our managed services, because they do not meet our standard offering."
  • "The pricing was a good value and substantially less than some of the other products that we looked at. In some cases, with some of the big names, this product was even close to half the price."
  • "The license is provided per access point, so you buy an access point and you use it."
  • "In Australian dollars, we buy it for five years at $1,200."
  • "We have a term that is renewed every three years."
