Pros
"The artificial intelligence feature is very good.""The solution is stable.""In terms of reporting, in terms of all the user reports, it's very rich.""The most useful feature of Juniper Wireless AP is the reporting Marvis.""The most valuable feature of Juniper Mist is the Virtual Network Assistant, powered by artificial intelligence.""The AI capabilities of Mist Wireless are superior to other OEMs.""The most valuable feature of the solution is Marvis, the AI-driven network management system.""The most valuable feature of Juniper Wireless Access Points (AP Series) is the ability to troubleshoot ports on the network. Additionally, when there is an update on the APs they are able to reboot quickly reducing downtime. Other solutions have a longer downtime when updates are done."

"Mist AI and Cloud is the best solution I have seen in the industry, especially from the artificial intelligence perspective, as it helps businesses.""I have a very good experience with the solution. Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten.""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 triangulation feature can be used to determine where a person is in relation to the access point.""If you compare wired versus wireless, it's convenient. You don't need to have one place for connectivity. You can move around and it's easier. Sometimes it's a hassle to work with wires, which is why wireless is so convenient.""Has an extremely good feature set.""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.""There are several valuable features. One of them is Cibas, and another one is Marvis."

More Mist AI and Cloud Pros →

"I really enjoy network traffic triggers that allow us to check traffic threshold from ISP.""The solution is stable.""We use Zabbix to monitor our organization's IT infrastructure and workstations. We don't use Microsoft Intune since it's expensive. The tool's real-time alerting system has proved crucial for us, particularly when a new device joins a network that is not one of our own devices. It notifies us about the presence of this new device, allowing us to investigate further. Additionally, it alerts us about disk usage, memory usage, and the software installed on the machine.""I like being able to use proxy servers for different locations. The agents are pretty cool. They're easy to roll out. The standard out-of-the-box templates are also pretty easy to use. The integration with other learning products is also good. I have, in the past, used Slack, but we've integrated it with Microsoft Teams. We also use it for SMS with a service called Redcoat. It is very flexible. It does what I need it to do, and my manager is very happy because it doesn't cost anything. We are nearing 4,000 hosts inside Zabbix, and we've got another 6,000 access points to add to it. We've thrown everything at it, and it has managed to keep going. I am very impressed with the tool, and I'd shake their hand very hard if I got to say the compliments to the Zabbix team. They keep improving it and doing refreshes, which is one good thing about it. There is also online information as well as books that you can purchase if you're willing to read enough. There is a lot to pick up, but it is a pretty complete solution.""The most valuable features in Zabbix are those that help us overcome bottlenecks in CPU usage, as well as reduce memory delay. I know that we have only reached the tip of the iceberg of what Zabbix's features can do for us, and we have not used all of them yet.""The integration capabilities and APIs are the best part.""The most valuable feature is network traffic monitoring.""Health and communication links availability."

Cons
"I need a bit more time with it before criticizing the features.""Improving third-party integration is key for Juniper Mist's next release.""Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points’ support services need improvement.""Juniper Wireless AP can improve by continually improving its reporting and integration with other systems.""The solution is expensive.""There is room for improvement in terms of support and installation.""If you want to do more specific stuff, it's a bit limited.""The price could be better."

More Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points Cons →

"There are some technical issues that may require attention""Sometimes it takes a lot of time for the access point to connect with the cloud.""The inter-functionality with other vendors was a negative for us.""The solution doesn't provide mail notifications currently.""Currently, the solution lacks the ability to configure with other solutions from other vendors.""Mist AI and Cloud need to improve the configuration speed.""Regarding opportunities for improvement in Mist, it is notable for its robust cloud portal and integration of artificial intelligence into various services, creating a highly efficient environment for work. However, a drawback lies in the cost associated with its WiFi offerings. With a pricing range of twelve hundred to fifteen hundred dollars for a single Access Point, exclusive of the subscription, it is acknowledged as a relatively expensive solution in the realm of WiFi services. Despite this drawback, the positive attributes of Mist make it a noteworthy option.""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."

More Mist AI and Cloud Cons →

"There are not too much documentation or manuals. We found the tutorials very easy to understand but do not go deep enough in the use of Zabbix. We need more manuals, proper use, documentation, etc.""The server monitoring could be better.""I had problems using Zabbix when working with SUSE Enterprise; many companies use SUSE.""It could be more stable.""If you want to use all of the features then you have to pay a licensing fee.""Zabbix is powerful, but it is difficult to understand initially. There are many things that can be improved, but we might not be using Zabbix to its fullest extent. The software has more features than we need.""The solution needs to add features for finding loopholes or problems and their root causes.""The user interface could be better."

    I have researched a quite a few network monitoring tools which can be used for various monitoring purposes of not only the servers, but the intermediate routers as well. There are majorly three types of these softwares. Ones which are completely open-source, you can do almost anything you want using these, but they require quite some expertise before you can use them. Then there are the ones that are not open source, the enterprise softwares and cost you some money, but on the other hand, they are extremely easy to set-up and learn. You can have them up and running in a matter of minutes. And then there are those which are completely cloud based. They can be free of cost or charge some money depending on the software. The good thing about these is that you don’t have to install any extra software, and it can be managed completely online but then again these have limited features and you cannot exploit them to the full extent as you can do with the open-source and to some extent the enterprise software, so I won’t suggest you to use these, because these are generally not the complete solutions and require other support software to achieve the same. Below I have listed the outstanding pros and cons of the various Network analyzers that you can look into Nagios Pros: Nagios offers an extensive set of collector plug-ins that allows users to gather performance and availability data from a broad range of operating systems, including  Windows and Netware Nagios… Read more →
