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

More Juniper Mist Premium Analytics Pros →

"We don't have to keep an eye on it; it has a good automation option, which keeps us informed. It gives very less false positives. Overall, a really great product.""Defining thresholds and other alerting criteria is fairly simple and would not require a lot of training. This is very useful if you are managing a large environment.""It is easy to use and deploy.""We find the networking aspect of this solution to be the most valuable.""The solution is finely stable.""Device backups are smooth and managed centrally, with a nice dashboard, so you can quickly see the status.""The traffic monitoring and the traffic analysis are great.""Monitoring is the most valuable feature of this solution."

More ManageEngine OpManager Pros →

"Meraki dashboard deserves an Oscar.""We have found the client dashboard to be very simple to use, especially in our Meraki environment.""The solution scales well.""We find that Meraki has all the features you need to be able to enable complex network protocols for AV equipment. We deal with a streaming product over IP, and Meraki is fantastic at that.""It has improved my organization in the way that we've got a much better wireless coverage than we had before, and secondly, we have the visibility of all the users.""There are some whitelist blacklist capabilities in the MX dashboard, which is very helpful.""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.""It's a scalable solution."

Cons
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."

More Juniper Mist Premium Analytics Cons →

"There should be an option to get mobile notifications or SMS mirror notifications for critical issues. That way, when we don't have access to email, we can still receive notifications via our phones.""Some of our customers have been asking that OpManager have a feature to monitor the operating system, however, I tell them that Endpoint Central is doing that. You can buy endpoints and then OpManager, and they integrate between them, and everything is okay.""The licensing for this solution is not straightforward and should be improved.""The solution is a bit difficult to configure. There are quite a number of configurations and plugins that you must handle early in the process.""The licensing model is confusing.""It is sometimes difficult to manage the user interface. It can get very complicated.""We had some stability issues at the outset that have since been resolved.""Real user and UI monitoring are not practical."

More ManageEngine OpManager Cons →

"For my purposes, I don't need to see any other features added to the Meraki Dashboard. I have no criticisms and I do like the tool. If I had a criticism for it, it would be about the pricing because it could be a little less, but again, for the service that you get, I won't complain about that too much.""The pricing for this solution needs to be improved.""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.""Meraki Dashboard could improve integration with non-Cisco platforms.""The cost of the solution is high and can be improved.""The product is missing a VPN and it is a major issue when it comes to deployment.""There needs to be more improvement on the device-connected interface.""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."
